Blackeyed peas were undercooked, not >overcooked, as she reported in her review. Probably an over-response to her review. The only thing worse for a restaurant in this town than a bad review by Phyllis is a rave by Phyllis. If the hordes of sheep that follow her column don't overwhelm a kitchen, the restaurant management's response to the nits she picks result in undue attention paid to the nits rather than the things that got them the good review in the first place. I have seen this happen time and time again. I try not to visit a Phyllis-reviewed restaurant for a year or so after the review appears. That is usually enough time to let things get back to normal. It is not for nothing that this month's Washingtonian magazine list Phyllis as one of "Washington's most powerful women!" -- Glen Foster <foster@css.gov>
