One Visit Blunder
Being a somewhat (or mostly, depending on the day) rational and objective person, I believe that when one wants to evaluate a restaurant fairly, one must go at least twice to accomodate for the potential "off day"/catastrophe/variations.
However, there are some places where that is really difficult to do after the first visit. Places that fill you with dread at the prospect of that follow-up trip, such that both the return visit AND the review of the place will ultimately just never happen.
To spare the hapless locale the possibility of humiliation, I won't name it here. But I had a "Philly Sub" for lunch today which was served on a soft and not-too-bad roll, stuffed with roast beef whose flavor was completely sucker-punched by the rest of the toppings - minced and overly-cooked onions and green peppers, CANNED mushrooms, and some kind of white cheese that might have been provolone but I didn't ask and couldn't really taste. The whole thing was flavorless and a big disappointment, since I had contemplated going to a different locally-owned place (yes, this restaurant was local, too) and of course now I wish that I had.
At least now I can cross it off my list of "need to try" and mark it "ick - 1 visit".
