Your Critic's 10 New Year's Resolutions

Posted // 2010-12-29 - Since everyone is sharing their New Year's resolutions and Top 10 lists for the year, I thought I'd give you mine. Here are my Top 10 New Year's Food & Drink Resolutions for 2011.
1. Stop complaining about overpriced "tapas" and "small plates." Need to come to grips with the notion that "less is more."
2. Drink more Champagne. French Champagne. The good stuff.
3. Eat fewer burgers. The "old-school" or "old-fashioned" burger craze has finally worn me out.
4. Buy more cookbooks and support cookbook authors. Stop downloading free recipes from the Internet.
5. Make it my personal mission to stamp out truffle oil.
6. Ditto cilantro.
7. Like the UDABC limits liquor/beer/wine licenses, start a campaign to limit the number of sushi bars. Can't someone open at Ethiopian restaurant?
8. Frequent more restaurants with low or no corkage fees.
9. Try to stop calling unfocused, unorganized menus "eclectic."
10. Accept the reality that Rachel Ray just isn't going away.
Now, how about yours?
Happy New Year!

Good stuff, Ted, especially the Sushi Bar thing. It's like the Thai food rage that happened and rippled here for years. I think most are out of business now.
And what I fear for Rachel Ray is that she's going to continue to get really fat and unsightly which is a damn shame.
For 2011, wouldn't it be fun(?) to do a monthly or quarterly post-mortem on why a places closed and get the owners to talk about it a little bit? (Too many items on the menu, partners split, location, no liquor license, etc.)
