Service and quality of food
Posted by
LINCOLN, NEBRASKA -- I have eaten at another Red Robin in Omaha a few years ago and thought that my son who enjoy their "endless" steak fries, as he is 14 and a very picky eater. He was impressed with all the pictures hanging up and went to look around. We ordered our food and I stated to the waitress that he was a picky eater and did they have just chicken & fries. It is called Clucks & Fries and cost 9.99 not to include the 2.49 for his Dr. Pepper. I ordered the swiss & mushroom burger and she asked "pink or no pink?" I stated no pink and that was it. Took about 10 minutes for our food to come and my son's came with 4 pcs. of chicken and 12 fries!! I know its endless but come on. Ended up the fries where cold and his chicken was spicy. He would not eat it and my burger was pink and lukewarm. And then when had a visitor at our table - an ant!! My son got the waitress and she smashed it with her finger and didn't even wipe off the table or give us a different one. I was floored and asked to speak with the manager "Amy". She apologized for the ant and stated that the chicken is pre seasoned and spicy. She told us they had a chicken patty or breast and I explained he is a picky eater and would not eat those. Told her I was disappointed in food and service because when the waitress dropped off our check she asked when I would pay because her manager wanted her to clock out!! I am a single mother who lives on disability and to eat out at someplace other than McDonalds (which probably would have been better)doesn't happen often. The manager did take off his dinner but after paying mine and leaving a $2 tip it was still almost $16. Its not like they were busy because my ticket states the time was 3:49pm. And maybe 8-10 tables occupied. Who else do you complain too? Corporate office has NO website and what would they do? Just needed to vent and hopefully someone else out there doesn't have the experience we did.

I agree that the ant episode should've been handled better, I think after dispatching it, they should've cleaned your table. As for getting the food order wrong, I think they should've brought you a new burger, cook correctly this time, as well as brought your son some fresh fries. As for you son being a picky eater, that's not their fault and they did offer you alternatives and they did comp his meal, so I think they handled that as well as they could. Also 10 minutes is a perfectly reasonable amount time to wait for food at a sit down restaurant, I even go so far as to say that, it's actually quite a bit faster than the industry average. Obviously a sit down restaurant is going to be more expensive than fast food most of the time, and you knew what things cost as soon as you got the menu, so I can't fault them for being their prices as you were free to get something less expensive or simply not eat there. $16 for a meal at a sit down restaurant is pretty reasonable IMHO.
Good review, but I do have differing opinion on some the complaints you listed.
I love my son on 04/22/2012:
On there menu the clucks and fries is listed as buffalo style which usually means spicy..and yes they should have wiped the table after she killed the ant but it was just an ant we get them in houses around here all the time.And they didn't charge you for his meal. My son has crohn's disease so I need to check all menus and ask questions before we order for him so you should have read the chicken was spicy..

good points FoDad
trmn8r on 04/22/2012:
I complained about Red Robin and had my buttocks banned from their rosey establishment. I wouldn't go back if I could. At that time, I remember thinking the same as you - it is a glorified McDonalds at 5x the price.
old enough to know on 04/23/2012:
maybe it's me but I would hope that at 14 someone would know what he or she liked. cos indeed it's not the restaurant's fault if he's too picky to eat what he asked for.
as for the prices... I'm confused. did you not notice them before you ordered?
sure I know sometimes I get surprised when I see a final bill... but that's my own fault for not keeping track of what I ordered.

Bad Dining Experience
Posted by
I took my 10 year old daughter for lunch to the Pittsburgh, Robinson Twp loacation on a Saturday since it was her birthday. The food was greasy. I had the Red Robin burger and the egg was rubbery. The bun was so stale it crumbled in my hands as I was eating it. After I took a 2 bites of my burger I went for my fries and realized there was a small black hair sitting on top of them. I didn't want to upset my daughter's birthday so just pushed the fries away. I then decided to ask for the manager and after about 10 long mintutes Stephanie came over and when I told her about the hair, she asked to see it and acted like I was lying. I couldn't find the small hair and really didn't feel like looking through the fries to find it. I also told her about the stale bun but she just made exuses and said it was fresh. She said she came over to my table and asked how everything was and I said fine but that was before I even took a bite of my food. My daughter has adhd and this experiece ruined her birthday lunch since it just grossed us out. The cook had an unkempt beard and dreadlocks with no hair nets or beard cover. The manager never offered to replace my food. I emailed guest relations a few days later, and they sent me a letter thanking me for my feedback but did not offer me a small giftcard to replace my meal. I also found a hair on my fries a few months earlier when diing with friends and didn't complain because I didn't want to be embarrasssed or make a scene in front of my friends and co-workers. I am finished with this place. Also there food is overly priced for what you get. Their burgers are not gourmet at all.

I agree that dumping them under the bus is the prudent thing to do. If I received a hair in my food twice, I can't imagine returning. I was a RR regular for years, but I can't go back there.
MDSasquatch on 03/25/2011:
I think the fries at RR are unlimited; you could have just tossed them on the floor under the table and asked for a refill.
trmn8r on 03/25/2011:
I think the OP may have had no interest in more fries. How many hairs can you deal within one visit? An unlimited nummber? lol
Anonymous on 03/25/2011:
Trmn8r> Great point! Often times, when you find something like that in your food, you lose your appetite for it. Occasionally, you may lose your appetite for that item for several months or years just over one bad experience that sticks in your brain.
momsey on 03/25/2011:
LOL, good idea, MDS. But trmn8r has a good point, she probably didn't want any more fries or anything else there that day.
Personally, I usually just ignore hairs in my food as much as I can. I guess I just have a low gross-out level for stuff like that. But of course that doesn't mean that others should tolerate nastiness!
MDSasquatch on 03/25/2011:
Hair you can see, it's the stuff in the food that you can't see that bothers me.
azRider on 03/25/2011:
I think its strange the hair was not visible when the manager came over, yet was clear enough to be seen by the OP. kind of makes me wonder. was it really a hair? I know they put pepper on the ones we order here at our RR. but pepper and hair are easy to tell apart. given the customer the doubt, the manager should have offered new ones or a discount. so they are faulted on that. now not getting a gift card when you wrote them has me thinking. why is it when people notice something out of place they want to be rewarded for it? just because you point out an issue that needs to be addressed does not mean you should get something back for it. heck if that is the case, the government owes me a ton of money for the things I've sent letters on to congress and senators about bad issues. you told the main office what was wrong and they were glad to hear it so hopefully they can correct it. what more should you want.

I love our local Red Robin!!! I have had great cutsomer service there!!! One time we ate there and my burger came out practically mooing when I asked for no pink... I mentioned it to the waiter and he offered to make me another one but I didn't have time, so they took it off my check gave my fiancees burger a discount and gave me a 30 dollar gift card for the next visit! I love our Red Robin!!
trmn8r on 03/25/2011:
That's not exactly a resounding compliment, EmeraldAnn. They completely botched the cooking of your burger, and you left without eating because you didn't have time for them to correct the error. Sure, they bought you off with a gift card, but what if every time you went there they botched the preparation of your burger?
Venice09 on 03/26/2011:
If I have one bad experience at a restaurant, it doesn't stop me from going back, and I will gladly accept a gift card. But if the bad experiences are consistent, then all the gift cards in the world couldn't make me go back.
If there are free refills on fries, I don't understand why the manager didn't just bring out another serving. It's never a good idea to argue with a customer or insinuate they are lying.
OP, I hope your daughter enjoyed her meal and that her birthday wasn't truly ruined. I'm with momsey in that I try not to let a hair get the best of me. The food is prepared and served by humans. It's bound to happen. I'm usually okay with just sending it back and getting something else. However, if it happened all the time, I would probably not return.
trmn8r on 03/26/2011:
Hi Venice. I think the point with the manager is the OP solely wanted cleanliness to be addressed - their appetite was vanquished by the addition of foreign protein.
I myself have gone through the management accusing me of lying about something in my food - talk about putting a bad taste in your mouth. I didn't want anything other than to let them know.
I agree that one bad experience shouldn't swear one off. I had so many bad experiences at RR with burger doneness I think the memories came flooding back when I read this complaint... And the pink/no pink policy. Nope, I'm not revealing how I got banned yet.
Venice09 on 03/26/2011:
I've known you a long time, trmn, and *I* don't even know how you got banned!
I understand about the cleanliness and that the OP didn't want anymore fries, but the manager didn't even offer to bring another order. Considering there are free refills, that's the least she could have done. This manager clearly was not interested in the OP's concerns.
trmn8r on 03/26/2011:
Oh don't you, Venice? Are you sure you weren't one of the gals that sliced my very first feedback complaint (The Ban) to shreds? Hmmm? Eh? Ahh.
I'm joking, of course, but there were 5 or 6 people who did.
We don't really know how the conversation with the manager went down. If the body language and table condition clearly said "we're leaving" it wouldn't make sense to offer more fries. And maybe the manager did, and we don't know it.
In rereading the complaint, I agree that the manager was apparently not concerned about the OP's concerns. With the accumulation of negatives, the *very* least they could have done was take the OP's entree off the bill.
Maybe I'll post a "Red Robin informative" of my experience...
Anonymous on 03/26/2011:
I am not a fan of Red Robin. I've only went to a RR one time and was not a very good experience for me either. Our waitress was never to be found, and the "unlimited" fries were not unlimited since I couldn't find my waitress to get more. Oh and not to mention I thin I had 6 steak fries in my basket when my burger came out. I asked for cheese fries. their version of cheese fries is taking a slice of American cheese, putting it on top of the fries and microwaving it, so it comes out as a hard brick. Never been back since.
trmn8r on 03/26/2011:
"the "unlimited" fries were not unlimited since I couldn't find my waitress to get more"
Been there, done that, *at* Red Robin.
Venice09 on 03/26/2011:
Trmn, I'm NOT sure I wasn't one of the gals that sliced your complaint to shreds. Maybe I'll remember when I read your informative.

I don't recall the review trm. Was it removed?

It has been removed, so now I have to recreate it. Was about 2 pages in length. The details have been clouded by the ravages of time. It was around this time of year, in 2004.
"Picture it, Sicily, the year was 2004..."
Skye -> it was "another" website, where I found Venice hangin with her peeps.
Skye on 03/26/2011:
OK Tony Soprano, I'm picturing it.
trmn8r on 03/26/2011:
The posts are getting crossed. That was to Venice, and the quote refers to Golden Girls, which may go over the youngn's heads.
Venice09 on 03/26/2011:
Ah, my beloved Sophia. I miss her and all the girls.
Are you sure it was removed? Did you know you can link back to old letters that were posted before the revamp?

The Worst Food Ever, Hair in the Fries and Burger
Posted on
SALEM, NEW HAMPSHIRE -- I brought my wife and son to the Red Robin in Salem NH. for lunch. My wife ordered her lunch and my son's then I ordered my tavern double stack with sweet potato fries and an appetizer for us. The waitress brought our food a short time later which she handed my son his, my wife hers, then as she was handing me mine, I noticed hairs hanging out of the fries etc. Before she put it down I said this isn't good and showed her the hairs and she took it back. A short time later she returned and said they were making another meal. I responded no thanks, I don't eat hair in my food and asked for the management. The manager came over and I informed her about the incident which I am sure she knew about and said they will comp my meal. Not like I was going to eat it or pay for something I didn't eat. Then I showed her how dirty this place was floor, extreme dust etc all over the dividing walls for the booth islands!!! Never again! Steer clear unless, you like hairy food.

NORMAN, OKLAHOMA -- My family and I went to Red Robin to eat dinner tonight. So we thought! The Hostess that took us to a table was less than thrilled to be there, we could tell by her lake of words. Then we sat at our table for 15 minutes waiting for someone to take our drink/dinner order. Noticed that another family that came in after us got seated and immediately got their drinks and appetizers. All while we were STILL waiting for someone to even notice we were there! So about 20 minutes into waiting at our table a waitress came and apologized and told us she wasn't aware that she had our table tonight and took our drink order.
Ten minutes later she STILL had not returned with our drinks or even stopped by to say she was getting them. We continued to watch her serve other people. So me and my family got up after waiting 35 minutes for service!! Very disappointed! We have eating here many times and this has never happened! Not sure if we will return with service or lake thereof again!!!

I would have spoken with the manager. Usually they have pretty decent service, in my experience.

I did call and speak to the manager. And she said it was an off night and was very sorry! She is willing to correct the issues that happened.
Ralph on 03/12/2014:
15 minutes you waited? What patience. If I am not recognized as a patron within five minutes we just leave, no place is that good to me to get that kind of service. You did right by contacting the manager and an 'off' night is no excuse

I Won't Go Back
Posted by
DURHAM, NORTH CAROLINA -- On Monday I took some of my grandchildren to Red Robins' my first and last time. The youngest child I had there was 6.My grand daughter turned 11 and that is where she wanted to go for her birthday. I had 2 16 years old,1 11 year old and 1 6 year old and the rest adults. We had a nice size group the kids order the bottomless drinks and fries. Let me tell you my grand sons can eat. After their 5th drink and 3rd fries the manager came up and told us we had reached our limit. Call me crazy but if it is BOTTOMLESS you can order as much as you can eat. My kids didn't waste anything. After she came over to tell me that she went to the waiter and they started talking about and we heard them.
My grandchildren's feeling were hurt and I was upset. I worked at a large business and I am telling everyone to boycott and so far I have a lot of people on my side. I feel the way the manager should have handle that was wrong. To be talked about and being pointed at and looked at was wrong. We were not loud or disrespectful. Even my 11 year doesn't want to go back.

Write the corporate office and see what they say. Sounds like the manager was overstepping their bounds. But wow, I've never seen anyone eat 3 rounds of fries at RR before!
SteveWiginowski on 05/15/2013:
I've never been to a Red Robin, so I'm not very familiar with how the fries thing works. Can you order the bottomless fries by themselves or do you have to order something with them? Also, can you share them with others and get free refills on them?
Susan on 05/15/2013:
Red Robin advertises their bottomless fries as coming with their burgers but I know I've ordered them separately. Did the kids order anything other than the bottomless fries? I believe that every business has the right to limit quantities and I'd say that 5 sodas and 3 servings of fries may be going over the line. The fries are intended to go with your meal - - not be the entire meal.
andbran on 05/16/2013:
I agree with Susan. I think you did go a bit over the line. not to mention a child having 5 sodas and 3 servings of fries is not very healthy for them.
Anon on 05/16/2013:
Who in their right mind would allow children to just eat fries and soda for dinner? This sounds fishy, like the "unlimited" fries getting poured into a bag for later or shared throughout the table to their guardians that didn't order them. If that is the case they were just trying to be civil so you didn't walk out on the entire check on them too.
Yep on 07/24/2013:
Call the Red Robin toll free number. Bottomless is a lie regardless of opinion if a limit is set. All businesses must have a policy listed posted visible. Any opinion of unhealthy disregards the situation. 1,000 calories is unhealthy for burgers. Eat at Chik Fil A is the better solution. All the food is unhealthy at Red Robbing. Just say in concern for health to boycott Red Robbin entirely. Best Solution.

Waitress Personality
Posted by
GLEN ALLEN, VIRGINIA -- Order a salad and ask for french dressing and the waitress stated unpleasant "we do not have french dressing" I know that the salad I order stated that it recommended honey mustard, but I do not LIKE honey mustard on my salad. I ask then what kind of dressing they served and she in a nasty attitude responded what they had and I chose the Italian dressing.
When the salad came to the table the server had honey mustard and she did ask if everything was of and I stated fine. the waitress taking the order should have let the sever know what kind if dressing was ordered. I must say the ordering waitress did come around and notice that the dressing was wrong and brought me the correct, with a snotty tone to her voice, her what you ordered, and a smirky smile!!!!!
This was my first time at your restaurant and that will be the last!!! ;-(

I've eaten at that particular Red Robin before. The service was acceptable (they didn't mess up the order, but it took awhile for the food to come), but the food itself wasn't memorable in the least. Sounds like your waitress wasn't very pleasant, but at least she corrected the mistake.

Manager with an "I just don't care about you" attitude
Posted by
SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS -- I took my kids to have lunch at Red Robin, and my son stands on the padded side of the booth and all of a sudden he disappears. The seat of the booth slipped down and my son ended in the hole of the both. After a few minutes the manager comes around with a very lazy tone asks "what happened?" so I fill out the complain form and that was it. After paying for our meals, I have the manager come back just to let him know that for being manager he is lousy. He showed no empathy for my son, or me or the situation.
I never heard an "I'm sorry for what happened" "do you want or need to call any medical service?" nothing! This man just does not have any service skills!

I'm very glad that your child wasn't injured. What I will say though is that these booths are not meant to be stood on, but sat on. They are not a place for a child to stand on or climb all over, because there is a good chance of something like that happening. Just thankfully your child was okay, and instead of getting angry with the manager you should stop your child from standing on seating areas in restaurants so they don't hurt themself.
Skye on 07/17/2011:
I'm sorry your son fell through, but as posted, booths are not made for standing, and it's up to us, as parents to supervise our kids and keep them safe.
You said he didn't offer to call an ambulance/medical services, so I'm wondering was your son seriously injured?
Anonymous on 07/17/2011:
You expected the manager to apologize for you allowing your son to stand on their furniture that is designed for sitting? The manager probably was relying on you, as the parent to determine whether medical services were necessary, as well as his eyes that evidently registered the fact that your son appeared fine, if not shook up a little from the unexpected surprise of the result of abusing the furniture.
trmn8r on 07/17/2011:
Red Robin? One of our members was banned from that place. Don't hear much about it, which is fine by me.
Skye on 07/17/2011:
Wasn't that member banned from Red Robin, because they went streaking during the peak dining hours?
trmn8r on 07/17/2011:
THAT is the one! You have a photographic memory, Skye.
madconsumer on 07/17/2011:
wow sounds scary to say the least. hopefully your son is okay. the manager could have at least asked if he was okay, and offered you the choice of medical treatment if you felt if it was required.
very helpful review!!
Fufu487 on 07/18/2011:
I agree that she seat probably shouldn't have just come loose. But where is your parenting in letting your child stand on the furniture? Maybe this is close to home for me, but I deal with children all the time climbing all over the barrier rails of my ABM machine as if it were a playground. And parents barely even watching them or telling them to stop. But by george, if one were to fall and hit their head..
Nohandle on 07/18/2011:
How old is your son? Just curious.

Waitress served our COLD food on a tray with dirty dishes on it ! Nasty, sarcastic manager implied that we were liars.. DISASTER!
Posted by
On a Sunday afternoon, the 6 of us arrived at Red Robin in East Stroudsburg, PA. Five of us ordered burgers and one of us ordered a soup/salad entree. When my sister's soup arrived, it was cold. The waitress returned with another soup but it was on the same tray as another customer's dirty dishes. She told her that she didn't want it because that was disgusting and she tried to deny that she put it on the same tray as the garbage even though we all clearly saw her do it.
A few minutes later, our burgers came and they were cold as well. When we complained, she told us she would get the manager to handle it. The manager came over to us and was extremely nasty and condescending towards us. He acted as if he didn't believe that our burgers were cold and questioned us in a very aggressive manner. Then, he turned to my sister, who was eating her salad and sarcastically asked her if her salad was cold too. She said "Uh, Yes but it's supposed to be cold". He responded with a smart ass remark saying "Well, if their burgers were cold then your salad should have been warm since they had to have been sitting there waiting for the waitress, right?".... Then, he got even nastier and said "What exactly would you like me to do here for you? Freshen up your burgers?".. He rolled his eyes and walked away.
We found that to be very unprofessional and disrespectful. We weren't looking for any freebies, just some understanding. We had no reason to lie about not being satisfied with our burgers. We're very disappointed with the staff's service and behavior.
I really hope this doesn't happen again to another customer because no one deserves to be treated like a liar and a fool just for trying to get what they paid for.

I've only been to an RR once. the only complaint we had was how hot it was, cos we were right under the heater. but they moved us so then we were happy.
I don't particularly remember the food. but I don't think it was bad.
I do remember getting cold soup once when I didn't expect it, but that was at some cuban restaurant in Seville, Spain. And the cold soup was a refreshing surprise because it was very hot outside.

To everyone calling me a liar... just FYI.. the 3 reviews I posted didn't happen all at once. They took place over the course of a couple of years. The only reason I posted all of them at once today is because I just discovered this website. Call me a liar or an exaggerator all you want but these things DID happen. I have better things to do that make up 3 stories.
Skye on 07/25/2010:
You should contact their corporate office. No need for them to get so disrespectful and snarky towards all of you. You went out for a nice time, and ended up being aggravated.
Here is the link:
Skye on 07/25/2010:
YT, how many reviews have people posted, regarding an experience that happened years ago? The op wants to share her experience with M3C, and the part about the soup on a dirty tray with other customers dirty dishes was disgusting.
Ytropious on 07/25/2010:
And she sure can, but I know that personally my mind warps things the longer it's been since it happened. Maybe the OP remembers things differently then they really happened.
Anonymous on 07/25/2010:
Cee, what a nasty experience. I would have walked out. If they don't care enough about their customers to at the very least NOT put fresh food next to dirty, nasty plates from a pack of strangers, well, that's enough for me to leave, much less the deplorable attitude of the manager.
CeeNoelle on 07/25/2010:
@Ytropious First of all, this particular experience was only 2 months ago and all 6 of us still talk about it because we couldn't believe how we were treated in a restaurant that we all visited quite often so it REALLY was as bad as we remember it. Second of all, how can you justify putting someone's food next to garbage? I don't even know how to respond to that. and Third of all, I didn't want them to reheat my burger or give me a new one. I just wanted the manager to know that his employees need to be re-trained.
Venice09 on 07/25/2010:
There's a lesson to be learned here. Never gather up all your bad experiences and write about them all at once. While it may seem like a good idea when you first discover a complaint site, it does look suspicious to the readers and it can diminish the importance of your reviews.
Skye on 07/25/2010:
Why should the op not be able to write all in one day her experiences, even if they are bad? She said she just found this site, and wanted to share what happened. She has every right, just as everyone else, to come here and post freely. It's a shame a new member should be made to feel bad about posting her reviews all in one day. Isn't that what this site is for? Her reviews are well concise and well written, and she has valid complaints. I don't think it diminishes the importance of her reviews. But this is a rough crowd at times, lol.
Venice09 on 07/25/2010:
Skye, she has every right as does anyone else. I neglected to say in my post that it might be a good idea to give some sort of time line when writing multiple letters in a row. That would clear up any suspicion about the complaints. And I wasn't just referring to this OP. It applies to everyone. Three complaints in a row does tend to raise a red flag.
Skye on 07/25/2010:
I hear ya Venice. Like I said, she just found this site, and seems happy that she was able to find this place, and needed to share these, long over due complaints that she has.
Venice09 on 07/25/2010:
Skye, that's why I didn't comment on these reviews when I first saw them. It did seem like a case of someone finding this site and deciding to post about past experiences. I'm glad the OP came back to explain. I know it shouldn't be necessary, but there are people who make stuff up and unfortunately they ruin it for everyone else.
Skye on 07/25/2010:
And there are people who make it uncomfortable for new members to ever want to return and post, due to unnecessary comments, and ruin it for new members, as well as current members. You know where I'm coming from, like I said, this crowd can be rough at times. I know her first reviews have all been complaints, but at least her reviews are easy on the eyes, lol.
Venice09 on 07/25/2010:
I know what you mean, Skye. When I wrote my first letter over on PFB many years ago it was a rude awakening, but I learned a lot from the comments. I honestly see both sides of this. After reading as many complaints as I have over the years, I too am sometimes suspicious. But I always try to give the author the benefit of the doubt. On the other hand, letter/review writers who leave themselves open to comments should take possible feedback into consideration and cover their bases. I'll bet the next time this OP writes a review, she'll see it from the reader's standpoint and address any skepticism right from the get-go. And that's not really a bad way to write a letter or review.
Sheriffs Uncle on 07/25/2010:
When I saw all of this earlier today, my first thought was that the op probably just discovered the site and therefore had more than one story to tell. I was disappointed to see the OP being discredited, since none of the stories were earth-shattering unbelievable. I guess, like Venice said, had there been some sort of time-line, then maybe it would have been more obvious what was going on, but is it so hard to figure out that the OP had three stories? She never said here's what happened to me TODAY at breakfast, lunch and dinner!
Alain on 07/25/2010:
Hopefully my comment won't be canned this time. I said earlier that it was possible that all this had happened, but I guess it was taken as being insulting (it was not meant to be). I had mentioned a time frame. Mia culpa and all.
Skye on 07/25/2010:
I enjoyed CeeNoelle's reviews.
After all, we all know of a certain member, who I shall not mention by name, who basically only wrote reviews, regarding the lack of highchairs in food places. Now of course, lack of highchairs, is a very valid complaint, but after a while, it seemed she only visited food places, in order to take highchair, or lack of highchair inventory. She also liked to post reviews if she did not win certain soda contests.
Skye on 07/25/2010:
I also think CeeNoelle's complaints were not outlandish. After all, we all have read complaint reviews, where people were not happy with a meal or service. They felt they were entitled to have the entire meal compensated, along with gift cards for free meals for the next 10 years, lol.
Venice09 on 07/25/2010:
The fact that CeeNoelle wasn't asking for anything was a clue. That's one of the reasons I hesitated to comment.
Skye on 07/25/2010:
Well not everyone who has a bad experience, automatically wants something. I hope CeeNoelle continues to post on M3C. I like her.
Alain on 07/25/2010:
Agreeing with you, Skye.
Augustus2099 on 08/07/2010:
To CeeNoelle I agree with you if this happened to me I would Walk out the door and not pay for disgusting food thankfully they don't have a Red Robin anywhere in Mississippi.

High Price for Sub-Par Food
Posted by
Last Saturday me and the girls had a "Girls Night Out" and went shopping.
We decided on getting burgers and fries and came upon Red Robin. This was all of our first times eating at this particular chain and decided to try it.
The decor is nice, albeit the atmosphere is very loud. Not a big deal since we are all mom's and are used to an insane amount of noise.
Our order was simple, one Mushroom Swiss Burger, one Guacamole Bacon Burger, one California Chicken Burger, and a Crispy Chicken Burger. We also ordered two freckled lemonades and two Dr. Peppers.
It took 20 minutes to bring out our drinks, the lemonade I ordered was so sweet it made my teeth hurt. Yet the strawberries were bitter. I asked for a water.
When our food came 10 minutes later they gave us the wrong order. The table next to us got our food and we got theirs. After an argument with both the server and manager we finally got them to admit their error and waited another 30 minutes to give us new food.
We finally got our food and we were completely unimpressed. The burgers, while good, were certainly not worth $10.00 (US) we paid for them.
The toppings were plentiful, albeit too much in my friends Guacamole Bacon Burger. So much so that it actually took away the taste of the actual burger. I'm all for toppings on a burger, but not so much that I can't taste the meat.
The steak fries were just O. K. They were hot and crispy but lacked any kind of flavor. Even with salt the fries were still just bland. None of us wound up eating them.
My California Chicken Burger (no mayo) was good, again, not worth the $10.00 (US) I paid for it, but it was better than something you can purchase at a drive-through.
All in all this restaurant wasn't worth it and we left disappointed with both the food and service.
The prices are way too high for what they are offering and certainly not worth it. You are and will be better off going to Culver's or even Burger King.

I love Red Robin, but have quit going there because of their prices. As you stated, while the food is good, it's not worth what they charge.
Anonymous on 06/17/2009:
I stopped going to Red Robin because almost every time I had to send the burger back because it was either cooked wrong (one time the middle was still frozen), had toppings not ordered or the order took a very long time (40 minutes)to be delivered. Frankly $9 for a burger when it's not even fresh lean beef is way over-priced.

No Burger is worth ten bucks.
BokiBean on 06/17/2009:
What is a freckled lemonade..I want one!
yoke on 06/17/2009:
The portion size is also small, IMO. We went there 1 time and had to stop at BK on the way home because my boys were still hungry.
Anonymous on 06/17/2009:
Agreed. Red Robin is good, however, not worth the price.

What makes a California chicken burger a California chicken burger? Guacomole?
I've been to a Red Robin once and was not impressed either.

fuddruckers, has some good burgers.
PepperElf on 06/17/2009:
o wow. I thought they were going out of business
they closed up all the Fud's around the interstate here

They might have not been to one in over a year.
Starlord on 06/17/2009:
Thank you, Princi. They are opening a new Red Robin in Lakewood, just up the road from Lacey, and I think we will pass. We have a Norma's burgers here in Lacey that has what they call the John Wayne burger that has won prizes for the best burger in the country. For $7 it and the fries that come with it are more than I can finish at one sitting. I was not allowed to vote helpful, but two thumbs up here.
Principissa on 06/17/2009:
Star do yourself and your wallet the favor! For four of us to eat including drinks and tip it came out to over 65.00! Too expensive for a frozen patty heaped with so much topping you couldn't tell there was a burger in there!
DRVROFRED on 06/17/2009:
I also wanted to know what freckled lemonaid was so I looked it up. Red Robin has the recipe online. It's basically lemonaid with strawberries in it. That makes sense when the OP said the lemonaid was too sweet but the strawberries were sour. Made my jaws hurt when I read that part [ouch]!
Anonymous on 06/17/2009:
I won't eat at Red Robin after reading that they have some of the most fattening food compared to other chains. Princi, you're right that ya'll should have gone to Culvers. The food there is always really good.

Host and Manager
Posted on
CITRUS HEIGHTS, CALIFORNIA -- One week after my surgery, I took my family to one of my favorite restaurants. The host told me 20 minutes. which was cool to wait. Well, 20 minutes turned into 45 minutes with lots of attitude. The manager, all he sad was, I'm sorry and no accommodation. One question, can I get the number to a corporate he sad no. I will get in touch with them but now I do not know how soon I'll go back there if I will at all. MOST HORABLE EXPERIENCE EVER.

It used to be that when you filed a complaint on the Red Robin website, it was forwarded to corporate.
The wait wasn't that bad, so I assume the manager's attitude is what resulted in "the worst experience ever." Can you describe the negative part of what happened in more detail? What kind of "accommodation" were you hoping for?
FoDaddy19 on 09/01/2012:
Based on my experiences the stated wait times at restaurants are at best rough estimates. In my book if the stated wait time is more than 10 minutes, I simply go elsewhere.
Anyway some clarification would be helpful
1. You mention there was lots of attitude. How so, and was the attitude mutual?
2. You mention "accommodation", Were you expecting a discount or something? I don't think that would've been doable as they would've had to offer the same kind of consideration for everyone else who was waiting longer than they thought they would.
3. The corporate number can be found here
clutzycook on 09/01/2012:
45 minutes isn't a bad wait, 8r? You're more patient than I am!

Free Lance-Star
CULPEPER, Va. - From the roof of a three-story building across the street, Ed Bednarczyk, using time-lapse photography, captured the return to the State Theatre's refurbished marquee.
"The people of Culpeper have waited eight years for this day," said the State Theatre Foundation's executive director.
Tuesday morning, a crane lifted the "State" sign in place, with the "Air Conditioned" sign going up during the afternoon.
Wednesday, both sides of the marquee, the area where letters are placed to inform Main Street motorists what is playing at the theater, will be attached and the front of the Culpeper landmark will be much the same as it was in the 1970s (When the theatre opened in 1938, it was the Pitts Theater).
"I think the people will be energized now that the crown jewel of this theater is back in place," Bednarczyk said.
Electricians will spend the next few days wiring up the marquee in anticipation of the theatre's Grand Illumination celebration to be held between 6-8 p.m. Dec. 19.
"Once again those lights will shine brightly on the South Main Street motorists," Bednarczyk said.
The marquee returned to Culpeper last week after three years in Ohio. During that time, it was refurbished and stored by the Wagner Electric Sign Co. in the town of Elyria, about 30 minutes outside of Cleveland.
"It returned right on schedule," said Bednarczyk, who noted that the $9 million State Theatre renovation project is also right on schedule.
Culpeper entrepreneur and native Greg Yates bought the run-down theatre building in 2003 and deeded it to the newly formed foundation. The State Theatre had closed in 1993 ("Free Willy" was its final showing).
For almost a decade, the foundation has struggled to raise funds not only to restore the movie house (which also has a large stage) to its former glory, but also to enlarge the building to include offices and other amenities.
The theater will show vintage films (courtesy of the Library of Congress' Packard Center in Culpeper), hold stage productions and host music shows on what foundation officials hope will be a seven-day-a-week schedule.
Work on the outside of the facility is almost complete and a 10-day grand opening is set to begin May 4.
"Then Culpeper's next renaissance will begin," Bednarczyk said.

He's cute. And he's stylish in a very british way... but I don't find him hot at all... I could become straight and marry Giada though...
He's cute. And he's stylish in a very british way... but I don't find him hot at all... I could become straight and marry Giada though...
am I the only one who thinks he's hot?(A) Anyone have pictures? of Jamie Oliver?
I used to think he was yummy, but for some reason that changed.
I remember wanting to watch 'The Naked Chef' thinking that it would be him cooking in the nude, but unfortunatly, it wasn't. He annoys me as well.
'And does he notice my feelings for him?
And will he see how much he means to me?
I think it's not to be.'
Did I see where his studio were he filmed his cooking segment burned, I seen it on the news but really didn't pay that much attention.
he's cute, but i think dave lieberman is hotter
I used to think that Jamie was just plain gross. ...and I mean finger-in-throat gagging.
But, strangely enough, I found out what an awesome human being he is for all the charity he does and how he really is passionate about cooking and food... my opinion of him changed completely.
He's such a great guy that he turned hot. Weird, I know. I'd do him.
He was quite heavy in the last picture I saw of him.
"I'm chanting even as we speak, sweetie!"
Sorry but I can't stand the guy. Something about him makes me turn over whenever he appears on TV.
I LOVE him...he is so sexy and grungy in a non grungy kind of way!!! And his heavy accent is so sexy!
"I'm Beginning To Love Myself A Little More Everyday"
I love Jamie! I've watched every episode of every show he's done.
I really admired the school lunch program he managed to get going.
He stopped me from ever eating a chicken nugget again.
I think he's very cute but only as long as he keeps his mouth shut. That tongue thing he does when he speaks is very offputting. It just ruins any idea of sexiness for me. He really should have been taken to a speech therapist as a child.
I've always thought he was cute...not hot but cute. He has that bit of whimsy that is always interesting.
I love Jamie Oliver, so fucking hot. And his lips just make me fall in love more.
love him love him love him. his wife jules is one lucky woman.
i think he is adorably cute!
How in thee hell did i miss this thread????
I would give my life to meet him
if i was approached to give my life up just to meet him, i'd sign up!!!
i'd do him...........i always get hard watching his show
I think he is pretty cute but he is annoying.
Don't stop me now, don't need to catch my breath , I can go on and on and on. When the lights go down and there's no one left I can go on and on and on. Give it to me, yeah.
I think he's very cute too!! I think Tyler Florence is very cute too! I saw him on Momma's Boys last week. Tyler has put on some weight more recently. But they are both still doable. I'd like to see the Food Network get more hot guys on their network.
blech he just looks like the kind of guy with cheese under his foreskin
Marcos De Torre
He's geting fat. slowly.
i never liked his thick lips.
love men, adore men, never know it could be soo gooood
I like him, but he always bothered me a little bit because he did that naked chef show and never once took his clothes off or even at least cooked in an apron. Total false advertisement.
i love him for his food etc - i have all his books and a LOT of his merchandise
So much beauty in Life , shiny on the outside - empty on the inside. I get lost sometimes , blinded by the flashing lights - distractions always in my mind.
Id luv to play with Jamies bum cheeks!!
random thread.
who is jamie oliver, btw?
He's a cute English chef...chunky ass!!
Jamie was so cute ... before he got fat. The curse of being a chef.
Cute....but I hate him so much.
Watched food revolution a few times. An incredibly unlikable guy. He is so bitchy and demanding that he would take situations where he could actually make a difference, and through his attitude drive everyone away. Then he would act shocked and offended when at the end of the episode he was being ignored.
What a douche.
Instead of taking the food he found and making it healthier. He always insisted on totally replacing everything about it. Which is why he failed everywhere he went.
He's definitely past his Use-By date.
Pudgy, obnoxious, foul-mouthed.
He can't comb his hair or wash his face
I know that he went to a farm and slit open a lambs throat on one of the british tv shows. I think he is a total scum-bucket.
And he can shove his ideas about food UP HIS ASS too.......
He was at his cutest and best in The Naked Chef. After that programme, he lost his appeal and I didn't watch any of his other shows.
It's funny just how badly he has been received over in America. I haven't seen any of the American shows so I don't know exactly how they've portrayed him but he always comes across quite well in the UK shows. Not my favourite chef to watch but he has good intentions (and I love his recipes). He has said he found the American chefs really difficult to work with and customers unwilling to change.
I find him cute. Boyfriend material rather than a quick fuck; he can make breakfast afterwards!
Ooh, I definitely agree! Total boyfriend material. So cute, and his recipes are kinda fun to make. I wouldn't mind a few naked fakes of The Naked Chef! Hee-hee!
Preferably him lying with healthy fruits and veggies around his body....
La Vie Boheme! No Day But TODAY.
The idea that people need to eat more healthy are right. His opinions on how it should be done are moronic. He treats food like an all or nothing proposition....either its 100% organic, low fat, low sugar, healthiest option imaginable or bust....which isn't how the real world works.
I tuned into the show expecting to side with him 100% from what I had seen on ads for the show. His methods were designed to fail though....because failure makes hot TV.
He thinks 100% grain-fed beef is healthier than processed burger with pink slime and other additives. He's wrong?
He thinks whole chicken is healthier than processed particle chicken. He's wrong?
He thinks fruit juice is healthier than pop? He's wrong? (Albeit not necessarily lower in sugar.)
He thinks plain milk is healthier than chocolate and strawberry-flavoured milk. He's wrong?
He thinks natural fruit flavouring is healthier than artificial flavouring. He's wrong?
He thinks baked is healthier than deep-fried. He's wrong?
He thinks whole-grain bread is healthier than white bread. He's wrong?
He thinks home-made is healthier than most fast food. He's wrong?
He thinks olive oil is healthier than hydro hydrogenated oils. He's wrong?
He thinks pizza isn't a vegetable. He's wrong?
All these form the basis for what he believes about food and it's supported by nearly every medical doctor and nutritionist out there.
He's fully supported by Dr. Oz. Is Oz wrong too? I know a morbidly obese family with type II diabetes who certainly think so. The only things colorful they're eat is that way because of artificial food coloring.
Sorry but I don't think you people know WTF you're talking about. All this ignorance about food and this reluctance to change is exactly why today's generation is the first in history expected to have a lower life expectancy than their parents.
Yeah, he was so cute in his Naked Chef days. He has put on a few lately. He's still pretty cute though.
Check out my Tumblr:
However, what you describe is NOT what was on the show. My mentality has nothing to do with it. His douchebaggery on the show did....and yes he set himself up to fail for drama. I have no doubt whatsoever he was a massive douche intentionally. Doesn't sound like someone with people best interests at heart to me.
He was vaguely cute back in those days but right from the beginning I've had this urge to reach through the television and grab that annoying tongue of his.
Surely he could paint some anti-inflammatory drug over that giant tongue so his speech could be a little more intelligible.
He's a twat. Ruining British food. I had nothing against him until he decided that everything had to be healthy.
Give me the Two Fat Ladies any day.
Here's a real breakfast:
Americans need to keep their guns so they can protect themselves from gun violence just like Nancy Lanza did. And like Chris Kyle did. And like Gabby Giffords did. And like Tom Clements did. And like Michael Piemonte. And Joseph Wilcox.

Little Things You Can Do to Improve Your Life...Right Now!
Feeling stuck in a rut? You don't need to big changes to make your life better. Make these small, mindful moves to improve your mental and emotional well-being in a big way.
Laugh Off Stress
When faced with an annoying situation—like being stuck in a traffic jam you could have avoided—don't beat yourself up about it. A study at the University of Luxembourg found that if you laugh gently at a misstep ("Hey—at least I'm getting some downtime here") instead of belittling yourself ("I was an idiot to take this route!"), you'll be less tense and feel a greater sense of well-being. So swap those derogatory digs and try humoring yourself—nicely.

I wanted to try a different oil and I am impressed with the rice bran oil. It glides easy, and blends very well with essential oils. My clients like it! I just ordered more! Great product!
True to the description, this oil absorbs very quickly into the skin so it doesn't support a smooth glide the way some other oils do. It is possible to get a nice glide by using a little more; use less oil for more deep tissue types of modalities. I love that this oil does not leave my hands or my clients feeling greasy or slimy. It has very little scent, but does evoke the clean fresh smell of reeds or other water plants.

I have a Utica cleaver. It's fugly, but gets pretty sharp.
I have a Utica cleaver. It's fugly, but gets pretty sharp.
The difference between try and triumph is a little "umph"! NO EXCUSES!!!!!!!
If it is made from 1095 as a lot of American carbons as I've been told, you should be fine.
Here's a couple I have on hand:
I have no idea what the 14" bullnose is, and I'm rather scared someone used it as a fireplace poker at some time in its life. The little one is Ontario Knife.
I have a couple other really old ones in storage from my great grandfather (same place these came from)...I'll have to dig them out!
Looks like a sword for a tiny pirate, or a large butcher knife for breaking down big cuts of meat or even whole carcasses. If you had one of those and a cleaver you could probably butcher just about anything.
Its actually very thin though, 2mm at the handle, tapering to 1.5mm right before the upsweep in the spine...where there's a false clip on the other side. Its a weird knife lol, almost like a machete. One of the others I have is similar in length, but is a narrower blade, without the bullnose tip. It's just a long, curved taper to a point. Similar thickness though.
Very cool knives, guys! I say the Utica DESERVES some new shoes.
Cris, the 14" scimitar/breaking knife was likely intended for professional use. The breaking portion would most likely hit about 2.5mm at the spine, while the thin overall blade shows it's age, in my mind. The 70s seemed to produce fatties, but older blades were thin, largely because it worked. I'd love for Son to add his perspective on these.
Take a look around at: www.sharpandshinyshop.com
Email me at: firstname.lastname@example.com
In other times people looked differently to knives than we, knife nuts, do. And they didn't have the material we do have. A perfectly common way of sharpening in Europe was using a coarse SiC stone with a lot of pressure, and deburring with a coarse steel. Or a piece of wood with fine sand.
Finer natural stones were used for razors only.
That is gorgeous any special technique?

10 Land-Use Strategies to Create Socially Just, Multiracial Cities
posted Mar 04, 2010
- Develop a widely shared, long-range vision for social justice, and set targets. Advocates for climate-change policies have proposed CO2 reduction targets by 2050. Social-justice advocates should set targets for poverty reduction for the same year.
- Find ways to meet the short-term survival needs of marginalized communities while generating longer-term outcomes that benefit society as a whole. For example, invest in projects that meet the urgent transportation needs of low-income residents while building toward a world-class public transportation system for all.
- As an alternative to sprawl, create public policies to stabilize, reinvest in, and redevelop older inner-ring suburban communities and encourage economic and racial diversity.
- Manage vacant properties consistently with principles of social justice and CO2 reduction. Transit-accessible vacant buildings can be acquired, held, and managed by nonprofit housing groups in ways that pre-empt speculation and promote community stability. Vacant buildings in newer suburbs can be adapted to community uses such as day-care centers, reducing local transportation needs.
- Replace aging or underutilized commercial strips with revitalized corridors that link inner cities and older suburbs through public transportation. These sites, with pedestrian-friendly, tree-lined boulevards, are ideal for mixed-income housing, with opportunities for small, locally owned businesses and community organizations.
- Set aside 20 percent of new residential development for affordable housing and promote transit-oriented development—residential or commercial projects that are high-density, walkable, and close to public transportation. A commitment to affordable housing and community services in these popular developments can dampen the effects of gentrification.
- Build and strengthen social-justice institutions committed to regional equity, and link them all in powerful statewide and national networks.
- Reduce the patterns of concentrated wealth and concentrated poverty in neighborhoods. Create opportunities for affordable housing in privileged and job-rich neighborhoods and, with the help of community-based organizations accountable to residents, develop middle- and upper-income housing in poorer neighborhoods.
- Advocate metropolitan growth strategies that systematically reduce health disparities between vulnerable communities and middle- and upper-class society.
- Create opportunities for communities of color and other marginalized populations to participate in new business-improvement districts, regional collaborations, and governance structures promoting sustainable metropolitan development.

Beat Chicken Boredom: 12 Fresh Recipes
Ban bird boredom with these innovative and delicious chicken dishes.
Uncle Boon's Thai Roast Chicken
At Uncle Boons in Manhattan, chef Matt Danzer cooks chickens in a giant rotisserie oven, but the birds are equally delicious roasted on a rack in a home oven. Heres what makes them so good: Theyre brined, then rubbed with a combination of coconut cream and kaffir lime before roasting, yielding golden, crackly skin.

Central Bank's Ultimate Basketball Experience
I've been a diehard fan of Cardinal basketball since the day I was born, so you can imagine my thrill when given the Ultimate Basketball Experience with Rick Pitino.
The annual event hosted by Central Bank took place inside the KFC Yum! Center, where guests received an inside look at UofL practice as the Cards prepared for their game against South Florida on senior night, Feb. 29.
The team split up in half to play some five-on-five as the Cards worked their offense against the style of defense they expected to see USF play against them on Wednesday.
Following the practice, guests mingled inside the Evan Williams Bourbon Bar, sipping cocktails and enjoying hors d'oeurves, while Coach Pitino spoke candidly with the crowd and answered questions.

The PLUS compounds and PLUSfoam® we use in a selection of our flips are 100% recyclable. More typical materials like rubber, EVA (ethylene-vinyl acetate) and PU (polyurethane) foams traditionally used in footwear are not currently 100% recyclable. To "reuse" these materials, you have to chop them up and feed up to 30% of that "regrind" into the virgin batch of material (a higher percentage of recycled content compromises product function). Therefore, typical production scrap can account for 30-40% waste by volume when common footwear materials are used. Unlike PLUS materials, this waste ends up in the landfill or incinerator.
PLUSfoam Product Performance Benefits
• Great cushioning and rebound for exceptional comfort
• Excellent traction on both wet and dry surfaces (rocks, boat decks, etc.)
• Resists moisture and bacterial growth so they won't stink
PLUSfoam Environmental Benefits
• Landfill-free alternative to traditional foams and rubber (100% recyclable)
• Reclaim process generates limited carbon output
PLUS simply collects the reclaimable materials from both the consumer and the manufacturing process then cleans them thoroughly by washing or screening. PLUS grinds up the materials into medium-sized scrap generally about two-square inch pieces. The company puts these materials back through its basic processing methods to reform new sheets of foam – adding in more foaming agent and cure agent only. In another process, the ground-up scrap is placed under heat and pressure only – no glue or any other substance is added. This creates sheets that can be cut and formed just like normal foam for new flips, midsoles, flooring, etc.
PLUS compounds can be recycled again and again as long as it is kept in a "clean" form and clear of other materials such as outsole rubber or upper shoe materials. When these materials are introduced into the reclaim mix – PLUS is well prepared to "down cycle" these batches into things like decking materials, park benches, paint brush handles and floor tile pads.
Reclaim Process – Recycling Your Flips
You can drop off you PLUSfoam flips in any Patagonia Common Threads Recycling Bin or send directly to:
PLUSfoam Reclaim Center

Think Outside the Bars
Page 2
White Backlash
But a backlash was also brewing. Anxiety and resentment among poor and working class whites was on the rise. The truth is that poor and working class whites had their world rocked by the Civil Rights Movement. Wealthy whites could send their children to private schools and give them all of the advantages that wealth has to offer, yet they were a tiny minority that stood apart from the rest of whites and virtually all blacks. Poor and working class whites—the regular folk—were faced with a social demotion. Their kids were potentially subject to desegregation and busing orders; their kids were suddenly forced to compete on equal terms for increasingly scarce jobs. Poor whites were better off than African Americans for the most part, but they were not well off—they, too, were struggling for survival.
Felon disenfranchisement laws bar 13 percent of African-American men from voting. Polls show 8 in 10 Americans support voting rights for people who have completed their sentences.
What lower-class whites did have, in the words of W.E.B. DuBois, was "the public and psychological wage" paid to white workers, whose status and privileges as whites compensated for low pay and harsh working conditions. In retrospect, it seems clear that, from a racial justice perspective, nothing could have been more important in the 1970s and 80s than finding a way to create a durable, interracial, bottom-up coalition for social and economic justice. But in the years following King's death, civil rights leaders turned away from the Poor People's Movement and began resisting calls for class-based affirmative action on the grounds that whites had been enjoying racial preferences for hundreds of years.
Resentment, frustration, and anger expressed by poor and working class whites—as they worried aloud that blacks were leapfrogging over them on their way to Harvard and Yale—were chalked up to racism, leading to little open or honest dialogue about race and an enormous political opportunity for conservative strategists. "Get tough" rhetoric provided a facially race neutral outlet for racial frustrations and hostilities. H.R. Haldeman, President Richard Nixon's former chief of staff, summed up what came to be known as the "Southern Strategy" this way: "The whole problem is really the blacks. The key is designing a system that recognizes this while not appearing to."
The War on Drugs
And so the "War on Drugs" was born. Richard Nixon was the first to use the term, but Ronald Reagan turned the rhetorical war into a literal one. When he declared his drug war in 1982, drug crime was actually on the decline. It was a couple years before—not after—crack ripped through inner-city communities and became a media sensation. From the outset, the drug war had little to do with drug crime and much to do with racial politics. As numerous historians and political scientists have now shown, Reagan declared his drug war in an attempt to make good on campaign promises to "get tough" on a group of people identified not-so-subtly in the media and political discourse as black and brown. Once crack hit the streets, the Reagan administration seized on the development, actually hiring staff whose job it was to publicize inner-city crack babies, crack dealers, and the so-called crack whores. Once the enemy in the war was racially defined, a wave of punitiveness washed over the United States. Democrats began competing with Republicans to prove they could be even tougher on "them." Some black legislators joined the calls for "get tough" measures, often in desperation, as they sought to deal with rising crime and joblessness in ghetto communities. They found themselves complicit—wittingly or unwittingly—in the emergence of a new caste system. And many civil rights advocates found themselves exacerbating racial divisions, fighting for affirmative action even as they abandoned the Poor People's Movement that sought to restructure our nation's economic and political system for the benefit of people of all colors. They had accepted a racial bribe: the promise of largely superficial changes benefiting a relative few in exchange for abandoning the radical movement born in the 1960s that sought liberty and equality for all of us.
Poor whites had accepted a similar racial bribe when they embraced Jim Crow laws—laws which were proposed following the Civil War as part of a strategic effort by white elites to destroy the Populist movement, the nation's first interracial, political coalition for economic and social justice in the South. Time and time again, the divide-and-conquer strategy has worked to eliminate the possibility that poor people of all colors might see themselves as sharing common interests, having a linked fate.
It's time for me to break the silence.
"Mass Incarceration
in the Age of Colorblindness"
Video: Amy Goodman interviews Michelle Alexander.
"Your son is suffering because of a drug war declared with black folks in mind," I say after a long pause. "White people—especially poor whites—are suffering because of the politics of racial division. Latinos are suffering, too. The drug war as we know it would not exist today, but for the demonization of black men, and now your son, a young white man, is paying the price. Poor whites are collateral damage in this drug war. But whether you're the target or collateral damage, the suffering remains the same. Thanks to the drug war, we have the opportunity to see clearly how caste-like systems hurt us all, even though they hurt us differently or in different degrees. We must go back and pick up where Martin Luther King Jr. left off and do the hard work of movement building on behalf of poor people of all colors. Are you willing to help build a movement to end racial caste in America, a human rights movement on behalf of all of us? All of us or none?"
"Yes, I am," the white woman shouts loudly, unaided by a microphone. The crowd erupts in applause. She wipes a few tears and smiles. "I just need to know that my son matters, too. I guess we all need to know that we matter. That's what it's all about, right?"

I've been a listener of NPR for as long as I can remember. I grew up listening to Iowa Public Radio in Davenport, Iowa, and then tuned in to WHYY when I attended Bryn Mawr College outside of Philadelphia.
I began my career as a journalist in the print medium. As a general assignment reporter at the Boulder Weekly, I covered politics, the environment, agriculture, and sports. I won multiple Society for Professional Journalism awards, including first place honors for Best Political Feature Writing and Best Science/Agricultural Feature.
I began experimenting with sound and radio at my local Boulder community radio station, KGNU. I still remember the first story that I did for the station—about a "weed management" program by the city of Boulder in which it hired goat herders to graze their animals in weed-infested fields. The sounds I recorded brought the story alive in a way I had never experienced before. At that point—the summer of 2007—I was hooked. I had to do more stories for radio.
During my tenure at KUNC, I've been recognized by the Colorado Broadcaster's Association, Associated Press and RTDNA for my radio feature stories. I've received three national Edward R. Murrow awards, in 2010, 2011, and 2012 for feature and investigative reporting. In 2012 I received the Daniel Schorr Journalism Prize.
As a reporter at KUNC, my goal is to bring the voices of ordinary people to the airwaves—not just those of spokespeople or individuals in positions of power. I look forward to serving the region of Northern Colorado and meeting many of you in my journalistic travels. I also welcome feedback and story ideas, so don't hesitate to drop me a line via e-mail.

Ron Rembert to Revive His Socrates One-Man Show
Prof Reworked Plato's 'The Apology' after Decade-Plus Hiatus
October 31, 2013
When Socrates was placed on trial to defend his life as a philosopher in 399 B.C., he was found guilty and sentenced to death — he was forced to drink poisonous hemlock.
Some 2,412 years later, in 2013, Wilmington College's Ron Rembert will portray the classical, Greek Athenian philosopher and his audience will serve as the jury.
Rembert, professor of religion and philosophy, will present a one-man show featuring dialogue from Plato's The Apology Friday (Nov. 8), at 7:30 p.m., in the McCoy Room of Kelly Center. It will follow a Thursday afternoon (noon to 1 p.m.) performance for his philosophy students and other campus persons.
Rembert, who last gave his popular Socrates portrayal more than 10 years ago, has reworked the presentation and added dialogue on human virtue from Plato's Meno, "to show a little more of Socrates in action" before his trial.
"It shows Socrates' way of engaging in discussion and why that might be worrisome," said Rembert, who created the show as a result of a Texas Humanities Council grant while teaching at Texas Wesleyan University in the 1980s. He first performed The Apology at WC during his first year on the faculty in 1989.
He said the use of the word apology in this sense refers to a defense of one's actions rather than a statement of remorse or petition for forgiveness. Plato, one of Socrates' students, wrote The Apology, which is believed to be an accurate account of what Socrates said at his trial, although not necessarily verbatim.
(LEFT) Ron Rembert
"It's Plato's words put into the mouth of Socrates. It's Socrates' defense of his life as a philosopher," he said. "I want my students to hear the words of Plato in our own time and place — the text still has meaning for us.
"It's meant to be an educational experience, not just entertaining."
Rembert, who reworked the presentation with new material during his faculty sabbatical last spring, expressed how "meaningful" is has been for him to revisit The Apology after a decade-plus hiatus.
"I'm growing older and closer to Socrates' age, which was 70 at the time of his trial," he said. "I bring new experiences to it myself. I'm not 70, but I'm closer to it than I was the last time I did it."
Rembert wants to impress upon his students that "old can be good" even in a contemporary society that often places an emphasis upon youthfulness.
"In this case, an ancient text can be relevant," he added. "The emphasis always seems to be on newer, better, faster — I believe something ancient can be good too."
Rembert will invite his audience to be ready to act as jurors.
"The question is not whether Socrates is guilty or innocent, but is he persuasive? His defense seems worth considering."

Oh my the pictures that are just starting to filter in on the news programs are just horrific! Here in Michigan, we received some of the wind and rain but nothing too worrisome. This morning we had off and on sleet for about 6 hours but that has stopped now. I hope and pray we don't have anyone in our community in the path of this devastation. I have 2 creative team members in the Boston area, and 1 in New Jersey so I've been checking in with them and so far, everyone has weathered the storm thank goodness!
Hope everyone made it through the storm. No problems here or for my family in PA. I know Jodi (statements by jodi) is in NJ and didn't have any damage or loss of power either.

Mix in with tongs, adding a little of the cooking water, if needed, to make a creamy sauce that coats the pasta. Serve with extra Parmesan grated over the top, if you like.

Fancied some summery pasta and this caught my eye. Have just had it for the second time, having made some alterations to the recipe. We found it a bit dry the first time around and my husband wanted more lemon so I used 2 lemons, most of a pot of creme fraiche and streaky bacon rather than prosciutto (about 150g) which worked well and is a bit cheaper too. Much preferred tonight's version and definitely one that we will have again.

1st ) CONTROL the transition, if you know you can force it before a new shambler, do, if you know you cant, stop dps on lk and clear any excess adds if you can.
2nd) put the prot warrs vigilance on on the pala so he can constantly take adds.
3) pala takes first raging, prot warr takes rest so pala can grab lk in p2 - ardent defender for the win.
4) hunter frost trap valks, prot warr stuns, prot pala HoJ
in p2 EVERYONEEEE stack on the same spot except the tanks, stun and slow valks.
got any logs etc? it might simply be a dps issue, or maybe peopel are too busy trying to win the meters to swap to adds.
if the warlock gets grabbed by a valkyr ignore the valk, any good warlock knows to use portal when they get dropped.
