Nice to see some new blood in there. One thing though: why does Rumrunners ALWAYS win the People's Choice Award? I've always found that resturaunt to be average at best. Full of tourists with bland uninspired dishes. I guess the view is nice...

That will be my last Taste. I thought it was extremely over crowded this year. People got drunk and rude so quickly. It's a shame for me because I've been to all of them and usually it's a big highlight but the crowd has just out grown that venue.
People, including other service professionals love Rumrunners for the people that work their and their constantly good food. How many restaurants are really constant down here? I can always count on getting nice friendly service there. There servers do not change every six months. Their food at taste is usually no where near the best, but it's people's choice, they are voting for who they like the best. But most of the food at taste this year was very sub par to me.
