Erace needs to chill on the whole “i’m afraid of the suburbs” meme. Who cares? I know its probably more of a literary device than anything, but big deal, you had to drive on 76. I do it every day.

With that said, Cantina Feliz is a great place in the suburbs. The ceviches are great, and the black bass entree is wonderful. The tacos are average. But the entrees are awesome. I assume they need to do more accessible things like tacos, enchiladas, etc. because it is the suburbs. I love it, and will continue to go back.

I was going to read the whole review to see how quickly I’d run into an arthouse movie reference or ennui-at-the-non-Passyunk-Ave-crowd dig; I didn’t need to go any further than “air hockey pucks” to know I was reading his usual clownish writing.

What’s with all the Erace-hate? Adam is one of our best, if not the best reviewer in town.

I can’t remember any arthouse movie references in his writing, and he doesn’t suffer from the same masturbatory prose that many of his peers rely on when they don’t possess proper analytical skills or ingredient/technique knowledge.

Erace knows his shit, and if you need proof, head to his market. It’s a destination for anyone that truly cares about great ingredients. That doesn’t happen by tossing darts and hoping you find the right product. He does his homework and eats like a maniac.

As a critic, your job is more of a challenge than just writing news posts like we do at The Feast, Meal Ticket, or on Foobooz. You have to tell a story as well as report facts, and possess intimate knowledge of cuisines from around the world. Bear in mind he writes for like 34 publications at one time, too.

Tight. Word.
