MB knows how to get the locals riled up, as he takes a cue from Bourdain and brings up the age-old question of whether Chez Panisse is overrated: "I can understand both points of view. The food served here is straightforward. In many regards, it's not a "real" restaurant because it serves only one menu a night ... What sets Chez Panisse apart—still—is the quality of the ingredients." The argument is nothing new, but it's always fun to see the Waters zealots pop up in the comments. [Between Meals]
