I'm Yelping This!

I know that many swear by Yelp reviews like the gospel. But after watching a Funny or Die clip on "Yelp Reviewers", you might take a second look at as to why people write on Yelp. Yes it's painfully funny because for people like me it rings so true! Hahaha.

These Are The People in My Neighborhood

This has been a tremendously melancholy week for us at Madame Tam. First the rain in the bay area was relentless. And just as it cleared up news came that Steve Jobs had died. Though I did not know him personally my children told me that they've seen him around town. To them, he is like a deity. His employees often eat at my restaurant and this week their sadness was very evident as they lamented to me about the immeasurable loss. Together we grieved a collective sigh and helped each other through the grief. So in honor of Steven Jobs who was both Buddhist and pescetarian, I will try my best to incorporate more vegetarian dishes in the coming year.
