Don't feel bad about good food at all. Your a paying customer and you want to enjoy the fruits of your labour. We all buy and support products and services
from bigger bastards so everybody is guilty.

If you like the food, enjoy it and nevermind the small stuff. If this POW place, which I have never heard of has good food, great. If the owner personally insults you or disrespects you, different story.

Actually looks like his antics caused him to close up shop here. Oh well.

It’s a little beyond insults and disrespect with those people.

"Those people" sounds suspiciously like those people.

Adjusting the shower handle one picometer and having the water temperature change 10 degrees.

I think they use that spelling in science, but I don't really speak much French conversationally.

The '-re' spelling is used literally everywhere in all contexts... except in the USA.

(In rest-of-the-world English, 'metre' = unit of measure, 'meter' = device that measures something. E.g. the speedometer is in kilometres per hour.)

The manometer is poorly named.

"Manos" = Greek for "sparse", as in the sparsely distributed molecules of a gas as compared to a liquid.

Right, but it is not the measure of a man.

I'm just going to go to a good neighborhood pub either way but that doesn't make other places horrible. When I take my grandma out for lunch and she wants to go to BP's, because it's where she would take me as a kid, I'm not going to pout. They have stuff I like
All or nothing thinking in general is lame.

That's how you breed a toxic culture. It also shows a lack of gratitude. Maybe x restaurant isn't the best you've had but I'm sure it's more than edible and for that reason we have it really good here. Put yourself in another country and you could be eating garnish-less scraps. It isn't that bad.

Then again I've never been picky with food and most things pass the bar for me. Usually my reaction is its fine/good, I'm glad I got to eat and I really don't need to dissect every aspect of what I ate. I only have issues with food if it's improperly cooked and makes me feel ill. That's 0.1% of food I've tried at establishments.

Maybe I spend too much time with foodies. I'll never understand talking about food when you've just eaten and you're stuffed full. How can you think about other food in that moment? Give it a break.

He had another pizza place as well. He lost his mind during covid. Imagine giving up everything you worked for over a vaccine.

It's too bad the pizza was unique and good.

Oh well.

Yeah. Both POW and WOP were really good. Mind boggling why you’d scuttle yourself like that.

Most common NA dishes are pretty hard to #### up. As long as they are as described, then it's fine. We don't get too high or low on the food. Which is the point the other poster was making. It's fine to be "OK" with your food and not need it to be seasoned to perfection to pass one's precise litmus test, or to make a ruckus about it for the same reasons. But to each their own. It's just to say that seeing how much thought people pour into reviews on google making hyperbolic remarks about a dining experience that assuredly wasn't that great or that awful seems silly from afar.

You’re saying you can’t tell the difference between mediocre food, good food, and great food?
