So, the Facebooks have a new thing where they ask you to compare places you have checked in at, and vote which is better. In theory, FB generates yet more valuable marketing data about consumer preferences, and while it might work well for, say, a Pat's vs. Geno's throwdown, there are some bugs in the system -- various friends have been asked to compare, say, that once-in-a-lifetime trip to French Laundry to, say, that sushi place in the lobby of your building you get lunch from when it is raining and you are depressed. At times, it amuses the corporeal host of The Cod to "check in" at Subway restaurants when he is not really eating there. Thus, FB asked:
It's a toughie! Both restaurants are committed to Eating Fresh. Subway gets the nod on price and number of locations but Craigie has a deeper menu and a more ambitious beverage program. What do YOU think?
Let's put it this way. I would have had a leg amputated to have been at the Mason Dixon dinner at Craigie on Main.

And Sean Brock may well have served it up if you did, Marco.
