REVIEW OF A REVIEW
Re: 鈥�,鈥� May 4, 2017
The Westender was my go-to weekly for a snapshot of city life. Dining gems were often found in the restaurant section; reviews fair, never mean-spirited.
Why would they be?
[Last week,] Anya chose mean-spirited. Her review told people to go elsewhere (WTF?) 鈥� Fresh Slice (twice). Her words felt more like those of an internet troll than food aficionado.
She was so traumatized by her chicken taco, suggesting 鈥渢he chicken seized in fright鈥�... because I think they knew Anya was about to judge them. She called the kimchi 鈥渁 science experiment鈥�; a burrito 鈥渃onsiderably less offensive鈥�; and, she 鈥渢ook one for the team鈥� by trying poutine.
What bloody team was she talking about?
I took one for the team by reading her review. It reeked of cattiness; it was considerably offensive. Who was she writing it for? Anya even slammed the name: 鈥淭aqueria Koreano (cue the eyrolls).鈥� WEIRD.
Tako is a one-off, not a FAST-FOOD GIANT. Unlike the giants, unfavourable reviews can harm small businesses.
Maybe cattiness was the wrong word?
I鈥檝e been to Tako with my friend J. Lee (Korean). We thoroughly enjoyed it! Try Tako! If you don鈥檛 like Tako, you can walk across the lane and line up to fine-dine at the mom-and-pop Costco 鈥渇ood鈥� counter. 鈥揕indsay Wincherauk

I don鈥檛 know what bug was up Anya鈥檚 butt last week, but I鈥檝e eaten at Tako once or twice and didn鈥檛 think it was awful at all. Recalling her scathing Gringo review from a few years ago, maybe tacos just aren鈥檛 her thing? 鈥揅丑谤颈蝉迟颈苍别

1 star!? Did you seriously tell readers to go to Fresh Slice over Tako? Wow, we go to radically different Takos. Please good people give it try pregame or next time you're at Costco. This review is madness. 鈥揅hris Cunningham

CYCLING SIGHT
Due to working in different places, I have to drive around Greater 麻豆传媒映画quite a lot. A few days ago, I saw something I have very rarely seen during recent months. I actually saw a cyclist stop at a red traffic light, and then wait until the light turned to green before proceeding. Hallelujah! 听鈥揜ob, South Vancouver听
