Guest #2, MSG is the salt of a basic amino acid necessary for life, the body (obviously) can fully digest it, and its bad reputation is rooted in low-level pseudo-scientific racism rather than any empirical evidence or scientific idea. Guest #8/9, get a life. And Guest #1, Jesus, she had a once sentence lead-in and then got down to her review. Almost every restaurant review does the same.

Ruth Reichl prefaces a lot of her reviews with personal stories, so I don't think its too big a deal if Helene does as well.

Guest #4 ... agree - that person must have a fcking dull life to make such meaningless and inane comments. Trolling online searching for tiny holes in people's comments. Grrrrrrreat life.

If she didn't say it, that doesn't mean that it didn't happen, so I don't know how you would know that #1 is "completely incorrect" unless you are the author, #2. Isn't it past your bedtime?

Slightly harsh - and completely incorrect because she didn't say her parents paid. The meal souns incredibly cheap, 300 RMB for 4 people is damn good value in a place like that. The only unfortunate thing is going to be your MSG intake and a step towards alzheimer's.

Cant you just do a normal restaurant review without being so cutesy about your mommy and daddy paying for it? I really am getting too old for reading this crap.
