Antonio’s #2 – from yesterday’s Raleigh N&O, by Greg Cox:

The Detroit-style Coney dog might not rank up there with Buffalo wings as one of America’s most popular regional food specialties, but somebody in Durham is sure gobbling up a lot of them. Barely a year after brothers Antonio and Mario Altahabe opened their first Antonio’s Coney Island on N.C. 98, they’ve opened a second one in Phoenix Crossing Shopping Center (826 Fayetteville St.; 687-7000).

My church has visited this restaurant several times. We have had a nice time on every visit. We have had as many as 12 people at one time, and service was very fast and with a happy attitude. I have had a hot dog, cheese burger, chicken gyro, and philly cheese, all seems fine to me and my church. By the way Antonio is so cute. Lisa

I have eaten her three times now and the dogs are great. My favorite thing is the loose hamburger. Which is loose ground beef in a hotdog bun. Somewhere between a sloppy joe and hot dog chili.

Since the text of the original post that I was complaining about has changed I don’t think I need to do a review. Thanks for the changes RPP. I hope the hot dogs are good.

Blewgo, instead of wasting our time whining about a perfectly fine review of a non-hot dog menu item, why don’t you get off your lazy arse and go try one of their hot dogs and tell us if they’re any good or not?

Maybe I’m naive, but I assume that most of our readers are smart enough to take our posts for exactly what they are, which may not be much, and use them to make a slightly more informed decision than they otherwise would have been able to make about whether to eat somewhere. There is always a trade-off between depth and breadth. This blog is obviously about breadth–we want to try, and then tell people about, as many places as possible. People can certainly believe everything they read here, and what they do with that information is up to them.

You have taken on the role of food experts by writing about your dining experiences. Many people will believe anything that they read on the internet. By not using some restraint and common sense in what you write about a business you can easily cause it to fail.

Yes, bloggers can have a significant impact, but that shouldn’t restrict them from expressing their opinions as they wish, whenever they wish, about whatever they wish. As CD/RPP writes, we’re not professional critics…
