Michelin guide is great for when I travel and want to eat amazing food. Bib gourmand has made me eat so well on every trip, just insane value
Seems like there has to be a better way than Michelin.
I love fine dining, but all I’m really looking for is a simple way to differentiate between actually good food and an expensive place that is good at marketing. I’m not capable of telling the difference between 97/100 and 99/100 dishes, I just want to avoid getting ripped off.
Check out bib gourmand, you get great food for decent prices. The food isn’t super expensive and as good as the starred restaurants, but the quality is close and the prices are very reasonable
Yelp, ldo
There are actually several Michelin star places with moderate prices - or at least there used to be.
There is. All the 3 star top end places are very expensive but the one and two star restaurants include a ton of value options.
I’ve never been to a m star restaurant and felt like I got “value” lol. Don’t think I’ve spent less than $400 (for 2).
Yeah I don’t mean “value” like a ValuPak of hot dogs at Walmart, lol. Just a reasonable dining out price.
Agreed. I stopped going to see my mom because her husband insisted it was too hot and we have to be inside. Even the screened porch wouldn’t do.
After that I’m saying hell no. If I have it and seeing them means a 1/5 chance they catch it and given that a 1/5 chance one of them dies (husband is in his 70s, with multiple comorbidities), I’m not going to have that on my conscience. I’ll literally never forgive myself until I die.
I haven’t been careful enough to be so certain I don’t have it that I’d be willing to gamble someone else’s life whom I love on a 25:1 shot.
My friends in Melbourne say it’s a bit weird having to smelt iron in their backyard and bow to a picture of Mao every morning but not too bad.

TX with >200 deaths today
Nearly 1,500 so far nationwide
My daughter’s elementary school having a zoom meeting rn to discuss plans for the fall. Over 500 participants on.
Random temperature screenings before entering; isolation room staffed by someone in full PPE for students who don’t feel well during day; anyone who goes to isolation must provide negative test result and meet other criteria before they can return
Out of the top 10 days for most new cases in the Czech Republic, 4 have come in the past 6 days. And the other 2 days are weekends where they only process a thousand tests or so per day.
Today was the highest total since April 3rd.
Ideal environment for starting schools.
How come Sweden’s death rate looks like this? Herd immunity or other?
Attempt at herd immunity backfired
Why are their deaths now down to ~0/day?
The population of Sweden is about the same as the CR and the CR has had 2 covid deaths in the last week. So Sweden’s total probably isn’t abnormal. America’s total is the abnormal one.
Did you look at the chart? (I know it was a crappy mobile link). Sweden has a higher death per capita than the US, but it was one big spike that tapered down to very low now.
I don’t know that they haven’t changed to New Zealand style lockdown, but if they haven’t, it looks like herd immunity.
AFAIK, they didn’t have a lockdown for months after it hit and then imposed restrictions when herd immunity plan was too fatal.
The UK appeared to try something similar but bailed earlier. Not sure though.
