You may notice that I don't typically include a lot of background information about eateries and chefs in my reviews. Unlike print publications and some of the other bloggers around, I value my anonymity, the primary reason for which is the fact that when I go to a place, I want to be treated like anyone else walking in off the street. I don't want special treatment, free food, or extra effort put in on my account. I want the same experience anybody else would have, it keeps things objective and fair. So, I don't really ask for people's life story while they're making my food. Still, sometimes the aesthetics of an eatery tells you something about the people behind the scenes...
