Finding a great restaurant

As far as tv shows - Marc Summer's Restaurant Impossible is a good documentary to watch for places to avoid like plague. These places are supposedly rehabilitated by the show - ya right! Soon after the cameras leave the buzz dies down I'm sure these lazy slob mom 'n pop restaurant owners go right back to their old ways.

Yep! Got taken to one in Palm Springs for my B day. Struggling BBq joint that was featured on the show. Nice interior care of the producers, but BBQ that serves Wine? The interior should have been serving Italian. 1st clue theres trouble coming... Arrived early evening when any other BBQ place has the 1st load off the Smoker, and people everywhere, but not one person in site here nor did they have any Ribs or a couple of other things I dont remember now. We left.. They've probably shuttered the place by now.
