As you may recall, I recently declared myself a Yelper. It taps into my propensity toward kvetching as well as my desire to explore and comment on the places in my newly chosen neighborhood.
I've reviewed a few places now (also Toppings and Sushiko), the most recent of which is Delice Bakery on Pico, a French bakery with what are apparently great pastries which I didn't try because I'm trying to be good. So here's what happened...
I've never been to France. So I don't know that the pervasive and I'm sure demeaning stereotype of rudeness is accurate. But Delice definitely makes me think that this is another stereotype that has a kernel of truth to it.
I recently met a friend there for breakfast and realized that the eggs were mostly in the shape of pre-made sandwiches on baguettes, and everything was a bit more expensive than I had seen in the online menu (a pet peeve of mine - how hard is it to upload a new PDF, when you've already printed the new menu?).

I, too, am a Yelper! Have been for a little over a year. The Hartford scene isn't as happening as the Chicago one was, and I miss it, but hey ... Long Live Yelp!
