Just get wings the size shown in all of the pictures! I actually enjoyed the taste of the spicy wings.

Don’t kid yourself those nine posts would be replaced with:

1) other bloggers posting crap you wouldn’t bother to read otherwise (many of which have nothing to do with midtown OR lunch)

2) links to forum threads you wouldn’t bother to read otherwise (DOS hint: the few that care are already in the forum)

3) other exaggerated and embellished “issues” loosely related to midtown or lunch blown way out of proportion (Street Vendor Project I’m looking at you)

4) pandering to the LCD with innuendo, sexual repartee and adolescent dick swinging.

ML was struggling for content before Zach moved to Ca. mostly due to the narrow scope and limited universe of subjects. There’s little choice nowadays but to troll the other blogs in closer proximity to midtown and rely on people of considerably less talent, focus and gravitas than our beloved rotund (if only self-proclaimed) one. It was a labor of love that turned into a business and suffers for it, nothing new under the sun. We continue to return hoping some of that magic will return but it’s becoming an increasingly difficult exercise in futility only kept alive by inflated tolerance levels of frustration and misguided optimism.

Been there, done that, long before the Internet was accessable by those other than universities and government employees I ran a popular BBS. My experience is that the brilliance of community has a finite lifespan (rarely more than a few years). It was much easier to disolve things when the luster faded, it was simply a matter of refunded subscribers dues and donations and pulling the plug. In many ways the increased exposure (by orders of magnitude) and ad revenue insures the longevity, inevitable dilution of content and proliferation of mediocrity.

Carrion, children

I just did a quick count and there have been 9 Kyochon posts on ML in March…. NINE. Over a type of food that we already have plenty of in the city, and frankly wouldn’t be all that exciting even if Kyochon had the best Korean chicken wings on the planet. It’d certainly be worth a mention, but nine mentions?

What’s sad is that this overhype machine takes focus away from interesting things happening food-wise in the city. Those 9 posts could’ve been used to cover new and interesting spots around midtown.

ML staff, try to use your heads here. Instead of getting sucked into the hype going on around the blogosphere, let’s stay focused on discussion of new, interesting lunch choices in midtown. Stay in touch with your readers instead of staying in touch with eater, seriouseats, fork in the road, etc, etc etc

and you refered to yourself in the 3′rd person.
