FAQ

Why Rodzilla? It’s a nickname, from way back.

Commercially available products AND Restaurants? Yeah, I couldn’t decide. Nobody eats out ALL the time, and I needed something for the interim. I’d call my palate snobbishly unrefined, I do have an appreciation for the finer things, but I’m not going to pretend a but I’ll never scoff at a McNugget or turn down a Reeses Cup.

What do the ratings mean?  They’re letter grades.

Why no ratings for Restaurants? Too many variables to account for, whereas with commercially available products the chances of some major discrepancy between my snickers and your snickers are pretty unlikely.

Do you visit restaurants under pseudonyms to avoid being “found out”? No, I make reservations under my real name, but I never announce myself as a reviewer. A few owners, chefs, and staff members of my routine spots have figured it out, and I don’t take myself seriously enough to hide my identity. I like having interaction with people who are genuinely passionate about food, why miss out on that opportunity by trying to keep a low profile?

Favorite type of restaurant meal? Sushi. Traditional.  Nigiri. Omakase with Mooms mayne if possible.

Favorite meal at home? Pasta, on the nightly.

Favorite types of products to review? Probably ice cream, followed by cereal.

Are you fat? Au contraire, I’m a cyclist and I participate in regular weight training.

Pet Peeves? I hope you have a minute…

Yelp reviewers who complain about price/portion size at classier establishments. There is much more to consider than satiation when dining at such venues. Complaining about the cost of items at the supermarket, or an extra value meal is one thing – but keep it in context, premium ingredients cost premium prices.

People who tell me that a place was good because their california roll made with crab stick was “fresh”.

People who mix their soy and wasabi then drown their sushi.

Use of hydrogenated oils/trans fats: I’ll still eat products that contain a bit, but there really isn’t a need for them

People who chew with their mouths open.

People who try to say that eating this, that, or the other thing will make you fat. No; eating too much of this, that, or the other thing will make you fat.

Is this your real job? No, I do this for the lulz (I enjoy it). I’m a student majoring in Psychology. I’ve got a part time job working at the gym and a few other gigs. Writing/freelance – I’m up for it, you can contact me.

Will you add me to your sites I like page? If you have a site, and I like it – yes, but if you’re looking to climb to the top of review blogger high-school..look elsewhere.

Why are you so angry? I’m not. Damnit.

I want to know more. Ask away
