I was actually going to post something awhile back about difficulty getting reservations at places in the US. Money quote, "Getting into America's hot restaurants has become a sport, and as such unless you're part of the rich and famous sect, most folks have about as much chance of getting into the hip and happening places as getting to watch the Super Bowl." I would call this hyperbole except for a laughable time I had trying to get a table at Komi a year or so ago.

People in the US, what do you think - overblown, or is there a nugget of truth in this?
