The preferred protocol is that people who work for/with a restaurant post comments that disclose the fact. Pick a name. Feel free to post. But they tell people how they're connected to the restaurant. So the first comment was great.

They brought us chips and salsa. I must admit that I am a chips and salsa fiend and the chips were thin and crispy and the salsa was fresh and sassy -- lots of raw onion. I prefer grilled vegetables pureed into salsa, but this fresh version was tasty -- if you enjoy raw onions, which I do. <br /><br />We began with the Jade's Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17913142700237905390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6242128247197293599.post-83776945827428070672010-10-28T11:28:00.719-04:002010-10-28T11:28:00.719-04:00The Baltimore Sun just ran a very complimentary re...The Baltimore Sun just ran a very complimentary review of it (http://bit.ly/9yoWl2).

Yes, the owner's kids help out at the restaurant, but I like that. And the owner stopped by our table for a chat and couldn't have been nicer.
