“I’m disappointed that I wasn’t able to convince the people that it was in their own interest to modify the way in which the business ran, so as to be profitable. I [attempted] to create at The Tribune the same kind of collegial environment that’s been so successful in everything else we’ve done. But it takes two to tango. In my experience, newspaper people are at least as greedy as anybody else and any perception to the contrary is perpetuated by the media itself.”
~ What Sam Zell Believes About His Tenure With The Tribune Company
“I was never let down by the hot dogs, bought from Chicago’s irreplaceable Vienna Beef, which were split down the middle, griddled and laid in a toasted potato bun with or without the classic Chicago garnishes. Better yet is the Bird Dog, a smoked chicken and apple bratwurst from Usinger’s of Milwaukee How the burger could change lives I never divined, but on occasion it was magnificent, as beefy and flavorful as the outer quarter-inch of a Peter Luger porterhouse. More often, though, the meat was cooked to the color of wet newsprint, inside and out, and salted so meekly that eating it was as satisfying as hearing a friend talk about a burger his cousin ate.”
~ Critical Eating: NYTimes Resto Critic Pete Wells Makes A Mouthful Of Shake Shack

Two reasons as to why I will always love Ron Howard:
1) “ZOINKS!”
2) GUNG-HO! Working Class Man, Brother. Working Class Man.
Enjoyed that. Nyack, my home town, is in New York. So what if it’s a minor movie that takes itself very seriously, everyone I know has really liked it. I tuned out a few times, but due to its strength, fell right back in. Langella, the uber mench, is starting to annoy me though.
Notice how NOBODY CARES. Exactly.
It’s Ron Howard. He rules… THE END! Seriously; the only reason anyone is conversing on the Reader topic, comes from the hate the movie generates. It’s a joke, it’s a sham, and will receive a worthy rifftrax one day. Until that day… VIVA LA RON HOWARD!
