There is no vendetta here, but this is a thread about the most overrated restaurant.

I have been eating a CP since I was a teenager growing up in Berkeley in the 70's and always accepted it for what it is.

When I discovered it was receiving rave reviews and accolades, I went back to see if things have changed, but I have never had anything aproaching a good meal there.

You go to Harry's Bar in Venice for the Bellini and the experience.

You go to Chez Panisse for the mesclun salad and the experience.

Both will set you back a pretty penny.

The difference is that Harry's Bar rates a 19 while Chez Panisse a 28.

That's why CP is astonishingly overrated.
