• I’ve added a casual chat room to CookingBites as a place for off-topic banter, light conversation, and short-lived chit-chat that doesn’t belong in forum threads. The chat room is informal and lightly-to-not moderated, with messages being temporary, so it’s ideal for friendly back-and-forth that would otherwise derail discussions. Site rules still apply, but there’s no reporting system or expectation of post-by-post moderation - if something becomes uncomfortable, the right response is to step away. If a topic has substance or lasting value, it still belongs in the forums; everything else can head to chat.

Apparently, somebody in the Yelp hierarchy likes my writing style on Yelp, so I was "promoted" to Yelp Elite last year. I get invited to cool events (which I'm always too busy to attend), and I get a chance to win a contest for a visit to San Francisco (near where I lived for 6 years, Palo Alto).

Yes, I decided that a preposterous pseudo-British accent and a top hat would be my best way to convey what it means to be in Detroit in 2018. Believe it or not, I wanted the silent film piano that loud intentionally. Even if everything I said was idiotic (it was), I want them to be entertained in the 30 seconds or so that I had.

I don't have a clear idea of what they wanted for the video, but at least I had fun making it.
