Ask ELV
Dear ELV,
Every time I dine out lately, it seems I find myself at a table with at least one person who has food issues or allergies. Sometimes they have so many questions about the menu, the poor waiter feels like they’re taking an oral examination on the food. My question is: Just who is the victim here: those with food/health issues or those of us forced to put up with them?
Signed,

[nggallery id=1276]I don’t get Blue Ribbon. That doesn’t mean I don’t like it; it just means I don’t groove on its pricey, all-over-the-map menu. I’ve eaten there six times and never had a bad bite, but still can’t explain why it’s so appealing to everyone from fussy food-o-philes to the clippy cloppy heeled set. But wildly popular it is. Raw fish aficionados flock here, carnivores crave it, and women who’ve seen way too much Sex and the City practically use it as a private club. Maybe it all comes down to the fried chicken.
