I was deep stuck in a Requirement Analysis, when one of my colleagues came to me asking about a feature in Apache Solr search. You may be wondering why she came to me, Trust me that was the exact thought I had at that time. Well, then I realized that the reason she came to me was because I had previously built a website using the Apache solr search with the help of Facet API.

One of our clients was trying to upload a pdf file on a node page in their Drupal website. The file was more than 25 MB in size and Drupal was not allowing them to upload the file as it had crossed the max file upload limit and they needed this to be done very quickly. As we were in charge they requested to come up with an easy way to do that.
In Drupal, while adding a menu item, we can give it a title, description, path and such details. It is not possible to give images for these menu items at the time of creation, by default. If you are looking for a solution, then read on.
This particular task can be achieved by overriding the theme function theme_menu_item_link() in our theme's template.php
There may arise situations when you would want to display the contents of a block inside a template file or along with any other output variables. module_invoke() function can be used for this purpose.
The module_invoke() is a function to invoke a hook in Drupal. The syntax for module_invoke is different for Drupal 6 and Drupal 7.
HTML5 video is a new standard that allows you to add videos to your site without the need for plugins. Any additional software is not required in the user's browser for playing HTML5 standard video play. Drupal comes up with a contributed module that is video.js module. Video.js is a HTML5-based video player with a built-in Flash fallback for older browsers.Read on to know how to install and configure a HTML5 video player for your Drupal site using Video.js
You may be familiar with creating custom forms and creating custom views. But are you familiar with displaying a view according to the submission of your custom form and that too in the same page? If you want to know how you can do this, you may read on.
Drupal module uses a lot of functionality. Once we enable a module we add many functionalities to Drupal. Sometimes we do not want to display the functionality provided by module but we do want the functionality to work in the background. For example creating a new account is functionality that can be hidden from users. This can be done by hiding some tabs or links in Drupal.
You can see certain options in our theme ie in settings page of our Drupal themes like LOGO, SLOGAN etc. We can also add our own options to a theme In this article I will be explaining how to add additional theme settings options to a Drupal 7 theme using hook_form_system_theme_settings_alter.
Suppose you have to display the thumbnail image of each video uploaded in a content and while clicking on the thumbnail the corresponding video should be loaded in the page. This can be done by embedding the video in page and implementing jquery function to load video.If you are not sure how to display the thumbnail images of the videos uploaded from vimeo/youtube in Drupal then read on.
In Drupal, Heirarchical select list simply means the select list has child and parent terms in Select lists. Getting a search field inside a Drupal view is quite easy but how can we get a hierarchical select list inside the 'Filter criteria'? Read on to know how to get hierarchical select list inside a View in Drupal 7
Forms can be considered as an integral part of websites. Forms can be included to a Drupal website using Form API. Form API is so extendable that we can customize almost all of the form API elements. In this article I will be explaining 'how to increase the "coolness" of your form elements by adding "spinner" style.
In one of my project I had a requirement to create an image in a particular image style in a specific folder, when uploading the image itself. In this article I will be explaining how to achieve this using the function image_style_create_derivative in drupal 7 to create an image in a particular image style. One another advantage of this function is that this will create the destination folder if it does not already exist.
@font-your-face module helps us to manage web fonts in all popular browsers and it provides the user interface for applying web fonts. If you want to know "How to configure a @font-your-face module in drupal 7" then continue reading
If we are using kaltura field in a content type in a Drupal website, the video uploaded using this kaltura field will be displayed automatically in corresponding node page.

Read on to know how to embed a Kaltura video programmatically in a popup in a Drupal 7 website
In this article will be explaining how to get feeds from a site programmatically into a Drupal site by passing its site url. The advantage of this, is that we could get multiple feeds at a time by passing their url.

In a Drupal site, I was working on, I found that many of the modules were unused. Their presence was increasing the size of the site and consuming time when searching for useful info.

What do you do if you have to take your Drupal site into maintenance mode from the command line? Well you can do this easily if you have drush set up on your server. With drush you can do quite a lot powerful drupal administration tasks right from the command line.
In one of our Drupal projects which sells products online, our clients requirement was to collect tax from some states and to exempt other states from tax collection. We implemented this by integrating taxcloud account with ubercart using uc_taxcloud module. Read on to know how we implemented this.
Sometimes we use Drupal view_query_alter to add or modify the view's where clause. To add a new WHERE clause we may use add_where property. Whenever we use an add_where, it will create a WHERE clause along with an AND condition. There will be some cases were we need to use OR instead of AND. So if you want to know more about how to use OR clause in hook_view_query_alter, read on to know more.

Top 5 Restaurants for B'day Dinner
- i
- Inasuitcase Nov 15, 2011 12:08 PM
As much as I want to try Travail, I'm leaning towards a restaurant that allows for reservations for my b'day dinner. My week has been and will continue to be rather hectic, I haven't seen my sweetie in two weeks, and, come Saturday, I think I'm going to want a night "in". Of course, he wants to take me out somewhere special so who am I to complain? So, what would be your Top 5 choices? They must be restaurants that take reservations. I figure I'll give him the list and he can surprise me with his choice. Thanks:-)
1. Piccolo
2. In Season
3. Bachelor Farmer
4. La belle Vie
5. Ill Gato
In Season
5416 Penn Ave S, Minneapolis, MN 55419
1. Bar La Grassa
2. Restaurant Alma
3. Meritage
4. Capital Grille (I don't normally pick chains, but they make some AMAZING steak)
5. La Belle Vie (last on the list only because I've not been there yet, but am constantly told amazing things about it).
1. Piccolo
2.Restaurant Alma
3. Heartland
4. Heidi's
5. Bar La Grassa
Bar La Grassa
800 N Washington Ave, Minneapolis, MN 55401
1.Gorkha Palace
5.La Belle Vie, great but........
4..Victory 44, I know they don't take reservations(only for 8 or more so make it a party) but you will be able to get a table. In my mind almost or equal to Travail but not as cheap.
La Belle Vie
510 Groveland Avenue, Minneapolis, MN 55405
410 Saint Peter St, Saint Paul, MN 55102
Victory 44
2203 44th Ave N, Minneapolis, MN
re: ibew292
I second Saffron and La Belle Vie (along with Piccolo and Alma). Gorkha Palace is great but not at all of the caliber of the other places, and we found Meritage very loud and crowded - not great for someone who is craving a special night with their partner.
La Belle Vie
510 Groveland Avenue, Minneapolis, MN 55405
410 Saint Peter St, Saint Paul, MN 55102
Gorkha Palace
23 4th St NE, Minneapolis, MN 55414
re: katebauer
I disagree. Gorkha ranks with the top places in Minneapolis. You may think the food is not refined but I think that it is a Special Place. Skip the reservations and go to Victory 44. You will love it. Meritiage is also at the top of their game. Sunday dinner was wonderful. I would stay home on Saturday and go out on Sunday.
Victory 44
2203 44th Ave N, Minneapolis, MN
re: ibew292
I would have said Victory 44 too, but ruled it out because of the reservation criteria.
1. La Belle Vie
2. 112
3. Saffron
4. Grand Cafe
5. Heidis
La Belle Vie
510 Groveland Avenue, Minneapolis, MN 55405
1. Piccolo- fantastic food, laid back atmosphere for foodies
2. La Belle Vie- old world formal
3. 112 Eatery- somewhat casual if you are looking to relax
4. Sanctuary- romantic and unique
5. Sea Change- stylish
Note: Saffron- Absolute disappointment each time.
112 Eatery
112 N 3rd St, Minneapolis, MN 55401
La Belle Vie
510 Groveland Avenue, Minneapolis, MN 55405
Sea Change
806 Second Street S., Minneapolis, MN 55415
re: ashii
I've been to Sanctuary late one night. We had the place to ourselves. The waiter was wonderful, the food was divine, and I LOVED the atmosphere. It was dark and cozy, dare I say romantic? I'd like to try somewhere new but THAT is the exact type of place I am seeking for Saturday night's dinner.
re: Inasuitcase
I would try the upstairs for 112 then, not as cozy and unique, but nearing there- and the service is excellent.
La Belle Vie is world-class. I can't think of a better place in the Cities for a birthday celebration for someone who loves great food.
La Belle Vie
510 Groveland Avenue, Minneapolis, MN 55405
re: kevin47
Couldn't disagree more about Saffron. Had a birthday there, would have gotten better food and service at a Burger King. I guess for a romantic birthday (which it seems is what you are after), I'd lean French, Italian or possibly Mediterrian and will try to think of smaller restaurants that to me seem that way:
-Meritage followed by a night at the St. Paul Hotel. It's probably the most romantic restaurant in the Twin Cities right now.
-Murrays for the silver butterknife for two followed by a night at the Graves (Hit Cosmos for drinks after dinner)
-Cafe Biaggio on University near 280 is a quaint little restaurant with very good Italian food.
-W. A. Frost and get a table near a fireplace or in the bar.
-Barbette in Uptown is dark, dimly lit, and offers good food with even better small plates and drink deals.
Try something different and think out of the box instead of the same boring suspects
re: Db Cooper
Just a quick clarification, I would say Bradstreet for drinks, not Cosmos.
MSPMag review from last month was less than kind with relation to drink creativity at Cosmos.
re: BigE
I was thinking more about the modern room/lounge at the Cosmos versus the variety of cocktails available. For me, I could care less if it's Johnny Michaels or Johnny Johnson is behind the bar because it doesn't take a mixologist to pour a scotch on the rocks or a glass of red wine. For me, I'd be more interested on my birthday in a nice vibe, cool room, and my wife. So I'll stick with Cosmos, but good advice if a cocktail program is that important to you.
re: Db Cooper
I also forgot to type the ying yang aspect of Murrays and Cosmos where Murrays reminds you of restaurants when you were young while Cosmos is the modern version of today.
Like I've written, was trying to think about the event being celebrated and some creative ideas around it versus reeling off the same top five list. If La Belle Vie had as many diners as recs on this board, Tim McKee wouldn't have to be slumming for Parasole.
La Belle Vie
510 Groveland Avenue, Minneapolis, MN 55405
re: Db Cooper
I find W.A. Frost to be about as boring as it gets, and the food/service extremely inconsistent. If going off the beaten path, I'd recommend Cave Vin,
Cave Vin
5555 Xerxes Ave S, Minneapolis, MN 55410
re: kevin47
Funny, Cafe Vin was my omission in sixth. WA can be all those things, but it's definitely a romantic place and I've found that atmosphere, especially when celebrating events like b days and anniversaries, can be much more important versus food itself. Food is more important when you are just going out for dinner because your sole purpose is just to eat vs celebrate. Thus my somewhat different list. I could easily agree with you on Cafe Vin as a substitute.
re: kevin47
Or Cafe Maude, good drinks, ive never had the food.
Cafe Maude
5411 Penn Avenue South, Minneapolis, MN 55419
Manny's, Oceanaire, Origami, Meritage, 112 Eatery
112 Eatery
112 N 3rd St, Minneapolis, MN 55401
410 Saint Peter St, Saint Paul, MN 55102
1. Piccolo
2. 112 Eatery
3. Bar La Grassa
4. Restaurant Alma
5. Grand Cafe
It's all about the food, service and ambiance.
Restaurant Alma
528 University Ave SE, Minneapolis, MN 55414
112 Eatery
112 N 3rd St, Minneapolis, MN 55401
Bar La Grassa
800 N Washington Ave, Minneapolis, MN 55401
1. Heidi's - if they're still serving the lobster/truffle pappardelle pasta, it's incredible. I could eat this every day.
2. Saffron
3. Bar la Grassa
4. Meritage
5. Cosmos
410 Saint Peter St, Saint Paul, MN 55102
All the places I've seen posted so far are great, I would add Lurcat in Loring park, and Osteria I Nonni in Lilydale. Both are great.

Chink's Steaks changing its name
- gaffk Mar 29, 2013 03:10 PM
Chink's will be known as Joe's Steaks + Soda Shop.
Kind of a shame, but I guess I can understand it. Some years ago, a website was soliciting input on the best cheesesteaks in the city. I threw Chink's out there, and my response was flagged for offensive language.
re: crazyspice
As long as they don't change the food, I guess it's fine. Still, some things just make Philadelphia seem more like Philly. Chink's was one of those things.
He tried to open a branch in South philly some years ago and the Asian community shouted him down. So the good news is that we'll probably see a new location in south philly or center city.
re: Delucacheesemonger
Deluca, are you really daydreaming about cheesesteaks? Maybe we should bring you one when we visit...
re: Bob Loblaw
I don't think it ever should have happened. And it is really hard for a business to lose so much "brand equity". I predict it will end up hurting the business so much so that they may actually consider changing the name back.
re: cwdonald
"Brand equity" in having an ethnic slur as your name? I doubt anyone will be boycotting the place for making the right choice.
I don't think I could ever eat in a place with a name like that. I still remember the look on a friend's face when someone screamed that at her.
In a city full of great cheesesteaks, their name was only a liability.
re: Heatherb
If you knew the history of the place, and knew that it was the nickname of the owner, you would not think its an ethnic slur. Chinks has been putting out the best cheesesteaks in the Northeast for over 50 years using that name.
re: cwdonald
Yes, I know the history. It's still an ethnic slur writ large over his business, even if he happily goes by that name. This isn't some sort of tragedy just because the name has been there for many years. The world changes, and this business owner is changing with it and making a sound and rational business decision to reflect (and respect) the changing sensibilities of his customer base, particularly if he wants to attract younger customers.
re: Heatherb
Political correctness at its worst... it will only end up hurting his business not helping it ... armor had chinks in it in the middle ages. The word has more meanings than simply a slur at asian americans.
re: Heatherb
I guess I'll have to rethink calling my lutefisk/gammelost food-truck" SquareHeads". Seriously, if this guy is selling the best cheesesteaks in the city he could probably call it #%££¥@'s and it wouldn't matter a wit.
re: cwdonald
The above article says it was not a racial slur but a Philly.com article quotes, "That was his boyhood nickname. In 2004, Sam's widow wrote a letter to the Daily News to explain how, as a 7-year-old in 1930 at James Blaine Elementary School, Sam was so branded with the slur by classmates who noted that his eyes were almond-shaped."
So, is it ok to retain a racial slur nickname because back in the old days it was ok to walk around and call people "chinks?" At some point in society's progress, I think we need to move on. Granted, the present owner is free to call it whatever he likes but profits may dictate what he does.
Before I read the article I had some mixed feelings about it and had thought the name was not based a racial slur. I compared it to folks who are offended by the word "niggardly" which has no common root whatsoever with the racial epithet. Just because a word sounds bad doesn't mean it is. However, I'm now reading two different stories for the basis of the name.
Reminds me of elementary school where the word "muktuk" was used in a lesson and after learning the word is an Inuit word for whale blubber, we named the fat kid in the class "Muktuk." It was later shortened to "Tuck" but remained with him all the way through high school, even used by teachers and coaches. Because we were cruel and insensitve when we were five years old, doesn't mean we have to stay that way.
Food related, I haven't had one from Chinks only because I haven't found myself in the neighborhood when the siren song of cheesesteaks calls. It's on my list though.
re: RC51Mike
You make a fair point except for the fact that the person embraced the name... that is who he was. By erasing the name you are erasing the name the history the legacy of a great neighborhood shop (and great milkshakes to boot.. ).
Meanwhile, the Washington Redskins continue to fill their stadium every game. What's the dif?
If I have understood this issue correctly Chink was the nickname of the previous owner. Not used as a racial slur against him, however inappropriate it may have been. Obviously the initial owner was not insulted nor did he mean to insult anyone with his name. No intent to insult but obviously for some that is the result. All references I have read consider Chink a racial slut. I hope his decision to "not offend anyone" works to his advantage and his continued success. My purchase of some steaks will have no effect on same but is a small token of support.
Not only is the nickname based on a racial slur, but it is the owner himself who wants to make the change so he can expand his business. Nobody is making him change it. He obviously believes it will make him more profitable because he will be able to open other locations and be freed from a history that, no matter how you try to minimize it by calling it a childhood nickname, is still racist and reflects a shameful part of our history.
re: Hungryin theBurbs
The fact that the original owner embraced the name and chose to call HIMSELF by it and name his business it makes it not racist. And it is also one of the dumbest marketing moves I have ever seen... take a place that has been around for 64 years, THEN change the name right when you want to expand. Recipe for disaster.
re: cwdonald
This is stinkingly poor logic.
The fact that the original owner embraced the name suggests nothing except that he was less respectful of his fellow man than our society expects of decent people today. His poor judgement should be left in the past with all the other shameful bigoted nonsense most of us have moved beyond.
re: caganer
How is it poor subject to select a nickname for yourself. He didnt have to accept it.. Its who he was. To get rid of it is to dishonor his legacy. He wouldnt have accepted and didnt think it was in bad taste.. why should we? And on top of it, its very bad marketing to change the name and destroy any name recognition...
re: cwdonald
I don't see where it's going to hurt his business. His regulars will know of the change, and future customers will not be put off by the name. Would-be customers, previously put off by the name, will now consider the place as an option. The owner is making a very calculated decision of his own free will - and a very savvy one at that. A name change is not the kiss of death for an established business by any means. I've worked in marketing, so I feel pretty comfortable asserting this.
And really, when you get down to it, you're talking about the legacy of a cheesesteak shop. The course of history isn't exactly being altered here - rather, a local business will no longer operate under a name that a significant portion of the population finds offensive, if not downright painful. Changing the name isn't caving to PC interests or displaying spinelessness - it is basic decency.
re: Heatherb
Its caving to people because there was no need to change the name in the first place, and it will not have the name recognition around the city that it did. It makes as much sense as asking Tubby Smith to change his name because it offends corpulent people.
re: cwdonald
Do you think he woudl be doing it if it wasn't going to help his business?
re: Heatherb
I know marketers make mistakes all the time... remember New Coke?
re: cwdonald
if you don't like it, don't eat there. stick with the union league - i hear their crow is quite tasty.
for me, i'm glad to finally be able to eat at... joe's. (i will admit that the new name lacks imagination).
re: Bob Loblaw
It's completely forgettable, ( the name) and the food at the Union League is top notch.
re: Bob Loblaw
True, but great names have never been part of cheesesteak success: Steve's, Pat's, Geno's, Tony Luke's, John'a. Joe's fits right in. As long as he keeps making a quality product, he shouldn't have any problem. I bet he'll gain a lot more customers than he loses as a result of this move.
re: Bob Loblaw
Crow, most thought it to be Cornish Game Hen. "spell check"
re: cwdonald
He actually had to shut down his South Philly branch due to the name (now it is Shank's). He is on the record as suspecting that he has been blacklisted from consideration of a location at the stadiums due to the name. So it is a fact that name is a business liability. Obviously it is a risk to change the name of an established business but it is a calculated one.
re: barryg
You are right about the expansion but I think he loses all his name recognition.. and his choice of Joe's is so pedestrian as to be forgettable in 30 seconds. Marketing is first and foremost about being top of mind.. like it or not chinks stuck in your memory.. Pats Geno's and Tony Lukes have that kind of top of mindness.. Johns Roast Pork and Steve's Prince of Steaks maybe.. Joes will rapidly lose its name recognition and opening a new branch be it in Philadelphia or the suburbs will not be helped by the link to the lineage of the past. There is a nice piece in todays Philly Inquirer about how his local community opposes him changing the name. http://www.philly.com/philly/news/201...... The next renaming issue that is being considered is renaming the italian market..
re: cwdonald
I agree that it's a poor choice of name.
re: cwdonald
Is the Reading Terminal Market next? Do trains from Reading still stop there? I think that is confusing.
re: Philly Ray
Heck change the name of the city.. is this really the city of brotherly love?
re: cwdonald
You thought that piece was nice? I thought it was sad, and a bit depressing that people in the neighborhood would make racist comments about the area "getting a tan." I think it is admirable that the owner is trying to rise above the area's racist roots (including the giving of racist nicknames) and try to build a business that has a wider appeal on the merits of the food.
re: Hungryin theBurbs
I think it is sad we are losing a name that was not rascist because it was the original owners name that he embraced. I think it is sad that the owner is going to fail because he loses name recognition and I think its sad that the politically correct police have struck again... It is going to be interesting to see if the Italian market's name gets changed due to the changing ethnic makeup of that area... for a city that is built on history we appear to be hell bent on destroying a lot of it.
re: cwdonald
Nobody is clamoring for changing the name of the Italian Market, the writer for the Inky is just pushing buttons.
Of course if you want to be historical about it, just call it what the Italian-Americans do: 9th Street.
re: cwdonald
What politically correct police? It is the present owner who wants to change the name. Nobody is making him. He does appear to have a broader vision of expansion outside of a single neighborhood sandwich shop. It will not work with the name "Chinks" much like an expansion of a place named Sambo, Wop, Slopehead, N**** or any other epithet will work. It's not PC, it's respect for others. Chinks is not a hallowed American institution. It's one of zillions of sandwich shops that dot the city. It's not really, in the scheme of things, a big deal.
Companies rename and rebrand themselves all the time to relfect changing society, marketing or business focus. Not all of them survive the change but many do. This is not a new phenomenon.
The Italian Market is not even a close analogy. "Italian" is not a racial slur.
re: RC51Mike
Agree with you on all major points, Mr. 51... though I did question Northwest Airline's decision to rebrand themselves as "NWA" a few years back. For someone like me who grew up in the 80s, uhm, no.
oh, and the Italian Market thing was silly. Just one writer - and not someone w/the pull of a Saffron (Or LeBan).
re: Bob Loblaw
And I really hated when they changed from National Biscuit Company to Nabisco. Their heritage went right out the window.
re: RC51Mike
The corporate name change became official in 1971 but as early as 1901 Nabisco was used on some of their products.
re: barryg
he's probably correct about the stadiums - and they're right not to have him. they'd be crazy and stupid to have something called chinks among their stands.
re: Bob Loblaw
They should call everything at the stadiums by what they really are.. Aramark...
re: Heatherb
Well said. If I was in Philadelphia and saw this place, I'd probably move on and eat elsewhere. Seeing a sign with a racial epithet just doesn't inspire me to spend my money there.
re: grampart
And these guys can't even claim it was decades-old legacy name.

Interesting.. that bring aunt jemimah to mind.. a brand that changed its image but not the name.. http://zmblackhistorymonth2011.blogsp...
How do I turn off Chowhound's email alerts for new posts on a thread?
I've been getting emails all day titled "Chink's..."
Now all my coworkers all think I'm a racist.
I see the difference, the guy that originally owned Chinks' wasn't Asian… it's treading into a territory… who can call who what.
YOU can't call ME a "DAYGO" because YOU'RE not Italian… but I can call myself a "DAYGO" all I want, because I AM Italian and I've earned that right
(btw, I am Italian and my father is highly offended by ALL the slangs for Italians: Daygo, Goombah, Greenie, Guinea, Wop… )
(that doesn't mean that I don't think it's a shame to see the name go)
re: cgarner
You see similar sentiment in the african american community with the use of the N word.. common in for the people in the community to use it.. inappropriate for someone outside the community to use it...
The fact that there are even people here on this debating and rationalizing about "legacy" and such shows how little political clout Asian-Americans have in the United States.
Had the "nickname" been descriptive of a more politically powerful minority group, no one would have complained about the name change. At least not publicly.
re: HungWeiLo
Like a 2-term Asian-American governor of your state? Thanks for visiting Philly.
re: PhillyBestBYOB
You mean the one who declined to run for a 3rd term because of racially-motivated death threats against him and his children?
Thanks for making my point for me.
re: HungWeiLo
Sorry, but I'm not making your point for you (you seem to have forgotten your original point). He was elected twice, and probably would have been again (I lived in Seattle), suggesting in WA State Asians do have significant political power, as they do in other parts of the country where their numbers make up a sufficiently high percentage of the electorate. Why he chose not to run has nothing to do with your original statement that if Asians had more political power in the US then there wouldn't be a controversy over changing the name of a cheesesteak shop in Philly. Contrary to your apparent belief that if it had been called something derogatory against, say African-Americans (not the N-word obviously, but I think we can all imagine several possibilities that might exist in the real world), we'd be having the exactly same conversation as we are having now (despite the fact that African-American have substantial political power in Philadelphia).
However, if the shop had been called "Sam's" for the last 50 years, and he was changing it to "Joe's", I'm pretty sure we'd be hearing the same complaints, just without any accusations that the complainers are "racist".
Perhaps the complaints have nothing to do with true racism (or relative political power) after all, and just reflect the fact that people do not liking change or having other people telling them what to do. In a country where we've elected an African-American president twice, and a Chinese-American governor twice, racism is obviously not as big a problem as it once was.
Anyway, discussing a completely different minority group is getting way off topic for this thread (and I'm surprised the moderators have left this thread go on this long anyway, this being a foodie board).
To bring my contribution back to the point of the thread: Personally, if I had owned Chink's I would have made exactly the same decision as owner Joe. I suspect that if he has a good product (in my opinion cheesesteaks are a waste of good bread that should be used for the true Philly sandwich, roast pork, so I've never been there!), any short-term negative impact will be outweighed by the long-term benefit. Which is the sort of cost-benefit analysis good business managers make.
re: PhillyBestBYOB
"Perhaps the complaints have nothing to do with true racism (or relative political power) after all, and just reflect the fact that people do not liking change or having other people telling them what to do."
But it could be racial insensitivity. If something is a clear slur and the slurred group has spoken about it for years then complaining about the change can be racially insensitive. It's like the issue w/ the Washington Redskins continuing to call themselves the redskins. The fans don't wanna change the name and maybe are not racist but they are being insensitive to Native Americans.
Ridiculous. I suspect I have more reason than most to be offended by this name but guess what? Sometimes traditions and "old-schoolness" has more value than sanitizing everything to meet modern day standards of non-offensiveness. Never mind that the place was named after its founder. Never mind that the word "chink" has multiple non-racist uses.
The level of public discourse in the country has fallen to such a state that the first party to be "offended" somehow claims the moral high ground. It's like a European soccer match; the side that fakes injury and cries the most somehow gains the upper hand. You should have stuck to your guns, Chink's. I wouldn't have liked you, but I would have respected you.
re: RealMenJulienne
"Never mind that the place was named after its founder. Never mind that the word "chink" has multiple non-racist uses."
There is no debate over what meaning "Chink" has here: the founder's nickname was given to him because his schoolmates thought his eyes looked Chinese:
"The owner, Samuel "Chink" Sherman, had almond-shaped eyes. He had been going by the nickname since grade school."
re: RealMenJulienne
"Chink" doesn't own it anymore. Joe has owned it since 1999 so it is entirely up to him what he wants to call his business. Rather than actually read what Joe has to say, so many feeled compelled to scream "PC" blah, blah. Why no respect for what Joe wants?
"When Groh purchased the shop in 1999—after working for Sherman since 1979—he kept everything the same, including the recipes and the name. The former owner was a neighborhood celebrity and rebranding at that time would have seriously hurt business. But, now that Groh has owned the shop for almost 15 years, he has built his own cheesesteak legacy and feels it's time to update the name.
"It is very important to me, my family and the entire staff that we no longer inadvertently alienate anyone in the Philly community," Groh said."
It sounds like he wants to show some maturity and respect for his community. What is so horribly wrong with that?
re: RC51Mike
But what about TRADITION? (That was sarcasm.)
re: pikawicca
That's exactly what they did with Darlie's toothpaste.
I'm surprised some people don't get it...all you have to do is put yourself in someone else's shoes. Any ethnicities among the responders? I would feel offended if there were a steak shop named "Guinea's" or whatever racial epitthet fits you in my neighborhood. It's not about multi-uses for the name. The N word also has other uses I believe. It's not big national news or anything, but I think it's pretty obvious this will only help the owner in the long run.
re: fara
I have no trouble going to Mick's or Paddy's. But then again, we Irish know we are better than the rest of you, so it doesn't really matter what you call us. ;-)
If I ever open an Irish pub, I'm going to call it "Bogtrotters". That way you will all be too PC to go, and we can just party by ourselves...
re: PhillyBestBYOB
Where is "Mick's" or "Paddy's" located?
re: Chinon00
The first ones that come up on Google are in Stafford VA and Portland OR, respectively.
Apparently some bloke in Cleveland already stole my Bogtrotters name for his sandwich shop.
re: PhillyBestBYOB
Well Mick or Paddy apparently aren't offensive to you as a person or Irish heritage. But the question is how would you react if a term that WAS offensive to you were used; since "Chink" is offensive to many Asian Americans.
re: Chinon00
People yell "moron" (or "Red Sox suck!") at me all the time. Like I actually care what someone who has to insult someone else to feel better about themselves thinks.
As far as the former "Chink's" goes, apparently some children insulted Sam decades ago, he said FU by calling his restaurant by the same name, Joe inherited it, and as far as I know, neither ever actually intentionally insulted an Asian. Getting bent out of shape over it now (or Joe's decision to change the name for business reasons)...well, it's just a symptom that we are all too thin-skinned and need to grow up and stop complaining about things that don't matter.
You can only be offended if you think you can be. (Wow, PhillyBestBYOB, that's really profound!)
However, I do have to draw the line at Shamrock Shakes. Those really are offensive.
re: Chinon00
There is a Paddy's on Race Street in Old City right here in Philly. I never considered it a slur, though I looked it up and apparently it is a pretty bad one in the UK. I'm not sure it has the same connotation here but I'm not Irish so I withhold judgement.
Mick can simply be someone's name so that is a harder call.
re: barryg
Paddy's a name as well - it's a short from of Padraig, the Irish Gaelic version of Patrick.
re: caganer
Call the PC Police!
re: barryg
"Chink" is clearly a slur. Paddy in certain context can be as well OR it can be the name of an Irish holiday celebrated on March 17th.
I understand its a really great steak but I refused to go because of the name; and hearing the explanation of the name's origin which made it even worse. Now I'll check it out.
Quite a highly charged issue then, isn't it? Certainly is emotion, strong opinions and divergent angles on this issue. It seems prudent that the name has been changed to one as neutral and non-confrontational as Joe's..
Wish him good luck and let it rest, it is done!
I think folks get too worked up over things like this.
Gawd(being religiously neutral) forbid they have a bottle of Aunt Jemima syrup or box of her pancake mix in their house!
Good stuff.......but for the life of me in 63 years, I don't think I have ever met a Jemima.or Gemima
"epithets" of every streak endure. Right?.no.....descriptive, yes. Some are a bit more derogatory; some just "point the light" at a certain group.
Probably not the end of the world either way...........but Joes is boring and not memorable. Growing up I ate at "Portugee Joe's" and the food was fantastic. As "by-way Diner" it became insipid (change of ownership and menu)
On a scale of 1 to 100, who really cares? There are bigger issues in life and more interesting bits of food lore
re: FriedClamFanatic
"On a scale of 1 to 100, who really cares?"
I give it a 2.
Clearly no one on this thread would use Chink to publicly address a person of Asian descent or resembling Asian descent (at least I hope not). Yet many wanna act like changing the name is overly PC?
Looks like the name change has hurt business (I guess folks looking for Chink's can no longer find it).
re: gaffk
Or changing the name created animosity with its customer base, and the people who were offended by the name never went there anyway, so the name change hurt business. What was not answered in the story was whether Joe has decided to open a second shop or not. Political Correct Police 1, Common Sense 0.
re: cwdonald
"Political correct police"? No one forced him or even put pressure on the new owner to change the name. He did it on his own out of respect and consideration for others. Why is showing respect for others such a horrible concept?
"Common sense"? Perpetuating racial slurs is common sense? Let's get all teary eyed and nostalgic over a fifty year old business with a racial slur for a name.
re: cwdonald
And if people aren't going because they changed the name (assuming its the same ownership and product) how small is that?
re: Chinon00
And if all the people who complained about the name are not consistently patronizing now that it has been changed, then that also adds to the gap.
re: gaffk
Seriously, we're concluding that the downturn in business was caused by the name change based on a few tweets' worth of text with no data? How about whether business was already in decline prior to the name change, or whether there have been any other concomitant changes that may have affected business?
In reading through the old posts, it seems a lot of the opposition to the name change was based on the fact that the original owner was okay with having Chink as a nickname. The problem is that that argument completely misses the point of why the use of racial slurs is damaging even when it isn't necessarily intended as such. Calling the restaurant Chink makes that word appear acceptable and benign, and provides an excuse to actual bigots--ie, that guy doesn't mind being called Chink, so therefore I can call you Chink and if you don't like it, that's just because you're oversensitive and whiny.
re: msiangal
1. The Philly.com story interviewed the owner who stated that business was off, so that is the source of the information on the downturn in business.
2. Chink was the owner, he was not Asian-american and he named the store after himself. Seems like you completely destroy the legacy by changing.
3. The current owner changed, trying to assuage people and ostensibly to perhaps open new shop(s) under the scintillating name Joe's with the hope that the name change would make it possible to open a shop in any community without raising the ire of people.. I think this is basically the story of a small business person taking a gamble and losing.
4. While there have not been recent attempts to make him change the name, there have been online petitions over the years, and multiple news stories about people objecting to the name, (mostly from people who do not live in the Torresdale neighborhood.).
That said, as any forecaster will tell you, you cannot completely conclude the name change was the sole reason for the business downturn.
re: cwdonald
i was glad when he changed the name. no one made him pick 'joe's' - and it seems like he didn't handle the transition as well as he could have. but if he's losing business because of the name change, because people are angry that it no longer has a racist name, it doesn't say anything nice about the previous clientele.
re: Bob Loblaw
Changing the name of an established business is extremely risky and Joes was a terrible one to pick. I follow this stuff and still didn't make the connection between Joes and Chinks the first couple times I saw their billboard on i95.
Now, he's whining in the paper about his lost business. That's going to plant the idea is people's heads that the product isn't good, or he already went out of business.
Bad bad decisions all around.
re: barryg
Good decision to change the name. Business being off is unfortunate.
re: Chinon00
Bad decision changing the name,.. you destroy the whole brand equity. It was at least memorable. Pats and Geno's are generic enough names but have been around for 60 plus years.
What Joe needs to do is build himself up as a personality. He needs to try to do what Tony Luke did which was not only make a good product but tie the product to the person Joe. We need to know Joe as a personality.. he needs to be the product sold, or he needs to sell the old time fountain/cheesesteak concept ,,,, Nifty Fifties cheesesteaks if you will.
re: cwdonald
It could turn out to be a bad business decision but clearly that's not the entire issue here.
re: gaffk
Just a quick request, folks, since this thread has resurfaced, that you please keep things focused on this issue, rather than making it a general debate about any instance of potentially PC behavior. It's a huge and hotly contested issue, but it's a little too huge for Chowhound -- please stick to discussing this one restaurant's situation. Thanks.
re: The Chowhound Team
Quite right, CH. Nicely said.
The "Sticks and Stones" children's rhyme has been around for over 150 years and its message is the real truth of the matter. I believe this PC bullshit has only made things worse.
re: Chinon00
For me, it was Chink's\Joe's.
But with these disclaimers:
1) I have not been to either since I moved to the burbs three years ago.
2) I grew up in NE Philly and so my palate was trained for the type of cheesesteak served at places like Steve's, Chink's, etc. (Although as a Rhawnhurst girl, I didn't really discover these spots until my more mobile high school years.)
3) I never got the Grey Lodge love (great beers, but never really loved the food there). I know, I'm in the minority among my family, friends and CHers. I think if some friends just wanted a good cheesesteak and fries, they'd choose Joe's, but if they wanted good food and beer, they'd choose Grey Lodge . . .and I would begrudgingly accompany them to the Lodge because it's more about the friends than the food.
re: Chinon00
That's why it's nice to live in an area with a good variety: something for everyone.
Chinks made a fine steak, but the experience was more than that. A visit there was like visiting another era. From the milkshakes and sodas to the service, you would expect to hear Eisenhower on the radio while there. I think they will re-gain their popularity, but in marketing terms it could take a few years (like starting from scratch.) It's a shame Political correctness took its toll. The man was obviously not anti-Asian in any facet of his business.
It occurred to me that a person's sir name could be Chink. In this specific case it was not the last name of the owner or previous owner. However if it were so: would there still be the same issues? Understand that the argument that it is a persons name is a valid reason for using the name. However the public perception of that name, for those not knowing the origin, would be the same. Would that justify a call for a name change? The name would be the same and the potential effect of the name would be the same but with no true ethnic connection other than in the minds of some members of the public.
re: Bacchus101
I just keep thinking he should have added "in the armor" to the original name : )
Does anybody remember a chain called "Sambos?" The name came from the founders... They were pressured, and pretty much dried up.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sambo's
This looks like a very good marketing approach......

Southfield woman shoots lover over 'bad sex'
Updated On: Jul 19 2014 04:06:07 AM EDT
Sadie Bell, 58, is out on bond after admitting she shot the man she had a long-term affair with after they had sex at her Southfield apartment.
Bell wasn't happy with the outcome and accused the man of cheating on her. She punched him, he slapped her and then she shot him. He was hospitalized for five months.
Bell was convicted of assault with intent to do great bodily harm. She also was convicted of a felony gun charge. She was sentenced to four years in prison.
Oakland County prosecutors are outraged that Bell isn't in prison. Judge Phyllis McMillen granted her a rare appeal bond. Most convicts wait out their appeal behind bars, but McMillen granted a $10,000 appeal bond, much lower than Bell's original $25,000 bond.
Prosecutors say Bell makes snap decisions and reacts with violence. They say she shot her husband years ago, but never went to court for it.

- Started out well...WoodmanDined on 11/22/2014Dined there with wife before the theatre. Arrived at 6 for an 8 pm show. Got the arugula salad, which was good, out within 45 minutes. Entrees came at 7:20 pm. The waiter did say the kitchen was behind and he was working on them. Presentation was okay, but not highly aesthetically pleasing. Pork loin was cooked appropriately, but the side dishes had cooled to the point of being slightly warm. The wife's salmon was overcooked and slightly warm (this happens way too much in what are supposed to be above average restaurants), while her veggies came out cold (that was the way they were designed?) while the polenta was properly heated. I'm not sure why they are still serving cold summer vegetables when it's been below freezing outside lately. The manager offered coffee and desserts but we had to rush through the entrees to make it to the theatre anyway, so we declined. The bill was reduced appropriately because of the inadequacy. Would try again if we had nothing scheduled afterwards and at a less busy time.
- YES!!!NorthcarolinagirlDined on 11/19/2014We made reservations for dinner before a show at DPAC. Food, service, and ambience is great!! Our server was very helpful in making sure we were ready to leave in time for the show, even with ordering dessert (which was heavenly). Can't wait for the next opportunity to return to Revolution.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DisappointedcanesjohnDined on 11/19/2014This is our tenth visit to Revolution, usually before a DPAC event. Mostly our experiences have been good. On this visit the food was ordinary, presentation was poor (my risotto was a mushy blob on a plate). and not at all tasty. I could have done much better preparing this at home. We were very disappointed.
- Absolutely exquisite!gendarme67Dined on 11/16/2014We went to the Revolution before seeing Chris Botti at DPAC and was NOT disappointed! Great ambience, very romantic, wait staff was very attentive and the food was absolutely amazing! Started out with the tuna appetizer and it was fantastic! The tuna was fresh and delicate, the dressing on the salad was light but very tasty. My date tried the 3 flights of wine and our waiter was very knowledgeable about the available wines and provided wines which she enjoyed immensely. She had the snapper and I had the pork loin for main course. Both were superbly prepared and delicious. I would definitely recommend the Revolution for a special night out! Thank you for a great dining experience before an amazing show!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful new find for us in DurhamDurhamVIPDined on 11/15/2014We had not noticed this restaurant before but found it on Open Table. Its downtown location makes parking difficult, but this restaurant has valet parking and we welcomed finding and using that. The sleek modern interior works well on the main floor and the lower floor. The server was excellent at attending to our every need with grace and charm and without being overwhelming. The food was very fine along with the wine recommendations.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DeliciousJdevDined on 11/15/2014The menu doesn't have an overwhelming amount of options, but anything on it is done so impeccably well that you just will not care. I would highly highly recommend trying Revolution.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Stylish Decor ad Decent Foodtori2Dined on 11/15/2014Loved the design and décor! Good location for early dinner before theater and other events and late night drinks and dessert afterwards. Some food selections better than others, but like the idea of small plates and executed well. The steak entree was amazing. Ask for Carolyn as your server; she is excellent---friendly, knowledgeable and attentive without overdoing it. One of the bartenders is also friendly and very good; sorry not to recall his name. Valet service a terrific help. Another server when we returned for dessert after a performance, never gave us his name, was almost hostile when we asked for assurance that coffee was decaf (when the busboy served it there was an orange top on the carafe; when he served it was black, so the question seemed appropriate). When we started to ask for three check for three couples, he rudely interrupted before half the sentence was even stated, said "we can figure that out later". He was a generally unpleasant guy and detracted from our otherwise excellent experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Food Dimly LitTerriDined on 11/14/2014Revolution's food and service is top notch. Our waiter and support staff did a great job of making us feel taken care of during our meal. Attentive, yet not pushy. We will recommend and return to the restaurant, but we'll be sure to request a table where there is adequate lighting. There are missing light fixtures in the rear of the restaurant, which makes it nearly impossible to read the menu and detracts from the beautiful space. I wouldn't ask my guests to use their cell phones to view a menu and Revolution shouldn't either.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- excellent birthdaylollywillowsDined on 11/9/2014we took our father here for his 76th birthday and we had a great time. our server was personable, knowledgable and friendly. we all enjoyed the food and wine and will definitely be back!Special Features:
- Get the chef's superb tasting menuluckenbachVIPDined on 11/8/2014This is the finest restaurant in the Durham region. My husband and I save it for special occasions. It never disappoints . Sophisticated .Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Chose the wrong entree!OpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 11/7/2014Everything is delicious but I was disappointed in the sparsity of veggies and the veal dish I ordered. it seemed way overcooked and maybe it was meant to be (like jerked chicken). Everything else was really good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Really closeAnnaBDined on 11/4/2014Good food, especially the octopus salad, which was very creative and interesting. The food is one tiny tweak away -- a little more salt, more acid, a little more this or less that -- from being great. The small plates are fun, service is awesome, and it's very beautiful.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 10/27/2014Food was awesome, it was a relatively quiet night (late on a monday) but the service was attentive but not omnipresent. Would strongly recommend for those looking for upper-mid price fine dining (10-15 first course, 20-25 main course).Special Features:
- IntimatebenlochDined on 10/23/2014The food was delicious at Revolution. Very foodie oriented. The tables are very very close together. We were Sandwiched between a first date and a family out for parents weekend at Duke. And as long as you are okay with hearing every word each of your neighbors speak and they yours then you will let the food determine your enjoyment of the experience. And the food is delicious.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great place for lunchwineandineVIPDined on 10/22/2014Perfect for a quiet lunch in town. Delicious roast chicken and Greek salad.Special Features:
- Great Food / Disappointing Service12345Dined on 10/19/2014We really enjoyed the taste and quality of our meal. We were disappointed with our server who lacked the courtesy when responding to the questions. First, the incorrect order came out and was taken back without an explanation. Then, we were double charged for our drinks and it took several attempts to get our check fixed. The tables are also very close to each other. When a server was at the adjacent table, his backside was almost touching our table.
- Date Night!OpenTable Diner Since 2010VIPDined on 10/18/2014I thoroughly enjoyed my dining experience at Revolution. I saw a couple people noted in their reviews that it's a little noisey and it is. But the atmosphere, food and service greatly make up for that. I would highly recommend this restaurant for a romantic evening.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Relaxing dinnerwineandineVIPDined on 10/12/2014Great service. Great wine and lots of good choices. We particularly liked the appetizer tuna.Special Features:
- BobbyDined on 10/11/2014The food at the restaraunt was amazing. The service was GREAT!!!!!!!!. I would highly recommend the restaraunt for a romantic night out and a special occasion. It is very fairly priced and the portions are a good size.Special Features:
- Excellent!GabbyDined on 10/11/2014The food and atmosphere are excellent! Nice restaurant for foodies. We eat at Revolution everytime we go to a show at DPAC! Can get a bit noisy at times, but overall, it is a very nice experience!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent dinner before a showVolDinerNCDined on 10/10/2014Revolution in within easy walking distance to DPAC, so it is a great place to eat a nice dinner before a show. They are pretty busy, especially on show nights like when we visited. The atmosphere is very nice, and the service is friendly. It was a little bit slow, but nothing to complain about. Perhaps we were a bit impatient because we were eager to get to the show on time. The food was really excellent, but food of the changing menu and the specials we had. The cocktails were fun and made very well. The bread served before the meal was excellent, fresh baked! I would definitely recommend Revolution as a great place to get a bite to eat before a show at DPAC, or for a nice dinner any time.Special Features:
- Superb cuisineGlad2bHereVIPDined on 10/8/2014My wife had salmon and I had the monk fish large plate dinners. We both thought that the food preparation and taste were outstanding. We have season tickets at DPAC and it is a convenient short walk.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always outstanding2dinersDined on 10/8/2014We both had the special, monkfish, and it the prepared most interesting and delicious. One of our best meals at Revolution and they have all been delicious.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great but NoisyOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 10/6/2014Cute little place with amazing food! It seemed to be a nice place for date night; very intimate and great ambiance but it was VERY noisy! The tables sat really close together making it hard to focus on the conversation that my husband and I were trying to have. Overall a good dining experience and we are likely to give it another chance.Special Features:
- Friend friendlydp210Dined on 10/6/2014A disclaimer-I grew up in Durham and I have lived in Hillsborough for the last 35 years. I am so proud of what Durham has become. I met a close friend for lunch who was caring for a family member at Duke Hospital. We had an excellent experience with an attentive server (and bartender). We were able to talk in a quiet light environment for lunch. Thank you. .Special Features:
- Food was excellentFlossie1Dined on 10/3/2014Everything we ordered was wonderful. Our waiter, Anthony was friendly, knowledgable and provided excellent service.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2007VIPDined on 9/19/2014We have dined at Revolution many times since its opening. The last visit was subpar and nowhere near its previous standard. We will not be returning in the near future.
- Avoid the Basement!!BillDined on 9/19/2014After making reservations one week in advance, arriving early, and being a repeat customer, we were let to steps and downstairs to the Basement. A few other tables were "set" and three other groups were eating. The decor was stark, at best. The service was hampered by congestion on the stairs and just confusion. Not, at all, what you expect from this high-end, high cost restaurant. Turns out, there were several places on the main dining level we could have been accommodated. So, if they lead you to the stairs, RUN the other way.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- dinnerandashowDined on 9/19/2014The food was fantastic. Great service. overall a great experience...Special Features:
- pleasant dinnerrwhartDined on 9/18/2014Our group of 4 was running late for a concert and we were pleasantly accommodated. Very friendly capable waiter. My asparagas and egg appetizer was delicious, the tamales were good but a little dry. We shall return!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Got to be experiencedJulienDined on 9/15/2014Outstanding food and wine the 3-courses menu following the chef inspiration is a must experience with the 3 wines that can be combined to it. Really worth every cent! If you visit Durham, you should not miss its Revolution!Special Features:
- Rude ServerDeeDiningOutDined on 9/13/2014The food was actually rather tasty. Although the salmon was too salty on top for my taste, I just avoided that section...the rest was very flaky and cooked to perfection. My waitress could have been more attentive in that items we asked for were delayed with no explanations. I guess she forgot. The waiter who was also working with her was just outright RUDE put items on the table without a word and walked away quickly so that we could not ask any questions. I was very offended by his behavior. We sat in the basement and as we approached the final steps a foul smell greeted us. Of course we were seated near the stairs. We asked to move away from the steps and the smell wasn't as strong. No! I will not recommend to a friend or enemy.Special Features:
- wakeforestjerryDined on 9/13/2014Loved the first time. Great server knowledge of wines great experience. Very very disappointed the last visit.... Never knew there was a downstairs and had made reservations at least a week in advance and was told by the hostess on the way down, upstairs was for reservations.... Duh. My group was fine but coming from Los Angeles I appreciate ambience and atmosphere and wasn't expecting this table. I know in the future to specify Downstairs.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- 9/13/2014bobbDined on 9/13/2014This was my second visit after having a great 1st time experience. Unfortunately my second visit did not match the 1st. Not all food items ordered were of the same quality. The beef tips were tasty but a mouthful of grizzle diminished the enjoyment. The eggplant lasagna was bland at best. Considering the cost of the meal I will likely not return. The service was great.Special Features:
- So goodOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 9/12/2014The food and the atmosphere will definitely bring me back to Revolution. They were out of the evening's special, Scallops, which I wanted and they did not remove from the specials. But other than that... it was excellent.Special Features:
- Very disappointedluv2eatDined on 9/12/2014I had made reservations several weeks prior. As we entered we saw vibrant, modern, inviting restaurant and we were initially excited. However we are taken downstairs into a dark and depressing environment. It appeared to us that the other few diners seated were like us older, over 40. I truly believe this restaurant needs to revisit its business model since in these economic times it is us older individuals who have more disposable income. We left and we were surprised when exiting upstairs that there were approx five vacant tables. We will never go there again and we have told our family and friends of this hurtful and disappointing experience.
- Top notch!HeidiDined on 9/12/2014Great dinner place if you're looking for "real food" that taste fantastic! Service was very personal and professional. Will definitely be back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Chef's choice was awesomeOldLadyDined on 9/6/2014However, there wasn't much else on the menu we would have ordered, so good thing we liked it. The service was awesome, table cleared between each course, water glasses refilled before empty. It was a pricey dinner, but I felt it was worth it. The wine was expensive but they did not skimp on the amount. Also, we asked for a recommendation and the server did not try to sell us the most expensive wine. We had a fried green tomatoe appetizer, tuna as the main course, and creme brulee for dessert. The tuna was a bit rare for my husband's taste, but he ate it all. Everything was quite delicious.Special Features:
- ExcellentNCdinersDined on 9/6/2014We were delighted with Revolution. The décor is modern yet very soft and calming. Wait staff very professional and attentive. Only reason did not give 5 stars for food was one entrée in our party was under-seasoned. Rest of dishes were excellent.Special Features:
- the basement is the pitsWashingtonVIPDined on 9/6/2014I've been to Revolution many times. Last weekend, I scheduled a work dinner there. Without asking, they seated us in the basement. I didn't know Revolution _had_ basement seating. Once we were down there, it would have been even more embarrasing to ask to be reseated in front of my invited guests. The basement is very nicely decorated, but it's still a basement: dark, windowless, and stuffy. Without the atmosphere, the whole night got off on the wrong foot. My guests were new to town, and I don't think they'll be going back to Revolution. I don't think I will, either.

Agents pass on al Qaeda site hijacked for FBI
What followed, he says, was a week of frustration.
FBI agents struggled to find someone with enough technical know-how to set up the sting. By the time they did, the opportunity was lost as militant Islamic Web users figured out the site was a decoy, said Messner of Ocean City, Maryland.
"It was like dealing with the motor vehicle administration," said Messner, who runs Web sites, many of which sell pornographic materials. "We could have done something that could have seriously impacted things. It took me so many days just to get somebody who understood the Internet."

Lee commissioners have voted to go to the bond market to finance the costs of a new spring training complex and stadium for the Boston Red Sox.
"We cannot pass up these low interest rates from the federal government loan program. These rates and this program will not be around forever," said Commisson Chair Tammy Hall.
The county will borrow through two bond programs to finance the roughly 75-million dollars for the new stadium. It will be built on some land off Daniels Pkwy., east of I-75.
However, commissioner Ray Judah voted against the bonding proposal. He noted, it does not set aside money for maintenance of what will be 3 stadiums in 2012. "That's a huge, gaping hole we are going to have to fill. It's going to cost millions of dollars over the years, and we need funds to pay for maintenance, from the beginning," Judah argued.
But the other 3 commissioners approved the financing plan through bonds. They say, Lee can borrow from its reserves in the future to make improvements and maintain the three ballparks.
Construction on the new stadium is supposed to begin early this summer. The team is supposed to start playing in the new place in 2012. That will leave City of Palms Park vacant. Judah says it may cost several million dollars to upgrade that facility, to attract a 3rd team for spring training.
