I just loved Jason1's spirited defense. I also thought that post was a nice entry into Chowhound for people who didn't use it. Many of the regular Howard County posters ended up on that post.<br /><br />@Jen -- Thanks for the Web site.

In retrospect, my post was ...Yeah, I'm Ivysmom. In retrospect, my post was more negative than it should have been. I think that my comments were dead on, for maybe 10 years ago. And certainly those overpriced, mediocre food places are still here and still crowded. But in the past 10 years or so, some very good places have come into the area.
