when, where and what did you eat to form that opinion?

3 years ago, Bangalore India, it didn't matter, it was all terrible.

Too many Indian Restaurants in Folsom.

Too many? By what measure? Here's the Folsom demographics according to the city's website:

Racial Diversity
· White 80.5%
· Black 2.5%
· American Indian/Alaskan 0.1%
· Asian 8.6%
· Native Hawaiian/Islander 0.1%
· Other 5%
· Two or More Races 3.2%

By looking at population data, I would think Mexican restaurants may be deemed to be one too many...but most of them are doing well...good food with good value and good service...will go well. Early toast is thriving but Grandma's in the same address had a hard time...

Dude, its Naga, never take her seriously....

it'd be like anyone saying, there's too many Asian buffets in Folsom, we need more pizza places

actually, there are too many Asian buffets in FM and we do need more (above average) pizza places.

Anyway, that's a discussion for later. I'm still busy keeping up with your burger reviews.

Did you guys see the news about the Asian buffets over in Fairfield (or somewhere over there) getting busted for unfair labor practices. Stuffing 20+ illegals into a single house, wages of $450/month for 12hour days x 6 days per week. I guess that's one of the secrets for having cheap food in today's economy (where the good restaurants are going out of business, like Z's Bistro, Express Gourmet, etc) -- no labor costs. Another reason not to go to Asian buffets if the value seems surprising high (or perhaps even if not). Whoops, geeez, where did that soapbox come from?

wow! that's pretty hardcore, glad to hear that place got busted.

Interestingly enough, Naga made a statement about illegals being used at some Asian buffet(s) nearly a year ago - I'm gonna have to give her props for calling that one

An Indian restaurant by the name of Mylapore is supposed to open on Oct 10th near Safeway. I do not know if it is going to be just vegetarian..

My husband threw a FIT on one of his cooks because they tried to get their brother-in-law a job with what they KNEW were fake papers.

OK - so the rumors are true...the guy I talked to at Udupi Cafe was probably an employee....from what I gather, the one at Safeway is owned by same owner as Udupi and the plans are for same menu....

Guess where I'll lunch on the 10th...

We sold Goodfellas to a gentleman who is opening Mylapore in mid October. I wish him sucess in a complex that is very troubled... Great wraps just closed it doors for good. But hopefully Mylapore will do very well. Goodfellas is still going strong with catering!

CHICAGO (Reuters) - U.S. restaurants are enduring their toughest time in 17 years as tight credit and falling home prices compel consumers to eat out less or spend less when they do, a National Restaurant Association economist said on Wednesday.
