Large Marge

Dear Margie's, (Camp Bowie West)

Can your hole-in-the-wall charm go too far in hurting my dining experience? It's a close one. But you have passed. With a D. And D stands for diploma. Sitting in those round booths made me feel as comfortable as an alter boy sitting on a Catholic priest's lap. If you shift out of the way of a broken spring you fall into the grand canyon. So, this got me thinking, "Could the owners just be using this hole-in-the-wall schtick as an excuse to not have to fix things?"  The wait staff looks like the leper colony of people at your local DMV.
This goes to show you that good food can make these things tolerable. I had the spaghetti with fra diavolo marinara with side salad. The portion size is amazing, and the salad dressing was generous.  They filled my bowl with lots of onions and peppers and I was satisfied. The lobster au gratin dip is a must. A cheese filled bowl with chunks of lobster and a loaf of soft slightly toasted french bread to dip. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy rough places to eat and street vendors serve amazing cuisine.
Side note- I just heard of a kick ass food truck outside of Baylor All Saints that serves grilled cheese with bacon. the Ninja will attack soon.
But, I feel Margies uses its rough exterior to get away with laziness of repairs and proper wait staff. For now you get a pass, but the Ninja never forgets. Food is still great but fix the damn booths.


3 out of 5 stars.

For my Mini Ninjas

If there are restaurants that you want me to target, let me know and I will attack. Gather together my mini ninjas and we will expose these taste bud criminals and celebrate the true.

The Wild Mushroom will make your panties drop!

Dear Wild Mushroom ( 1917 Martin Drive
Weatherford, TX 76086),
I must say it did cross my mind why I drove out to Weatherford to eat. Well, let's just say when I tasted the butter on that first piece of bread it made my curly pubes stand up straight. My wife and I each ordered salads, they were good but I really wanted to go down on that bread more. We ordered the brie and garlic appetizer which I said when it arrived that I used to order this at a downtown Ft.Worth restaurant, Randalls Cheesecake Factory years ago.  Although what the f ' was that bread, it tasted like bread flavored lava rock?  Then it came, I had no idea I was about to make love to the best Chicken Fried Steak I have ever had. You browned the steak before you deep fried it. You are a genius. If I don't see you mentioned for best chicken fried steak in the the Ft.Worth publications I will finally know that Masseys writes those guys checks every year. How can Masseys, which serves a breaded cutlet, be voted "best"every year for that piece of shit? As I was eating it I was thinking my wife is going to get it tonight. Although the drive home made her sleepy and I had to pleasure myself to this picture. My wife had the Halibut that had the best rice ever. It was cooked with coconut milk.  "Winning"!!! When it was dessert time our waitress, told us the extensive cheesecake selection. I started thinking it they ordered every flavor Ben E. Keith had. Until I asked if they were made here and she said they were and it was a pastry chef from Randalls (click click, I knew there was an influence). Just a suggestion for her, start by saying our homemade cheesecake selection. So, piss on you, Wild Mushroom, for making me check my gas tank next time I want to go out to eat. Watch out, Bonnells, you now have legitimate competition.

Watch the for the Lease sign soon.

Dear Brownstone( Ft.Worth West & 7th development),
Have you every asked  the extremely hot girl who lived in a new trendy neighborhood out on a date only to find out behind those Jolie lips and Gisele body is a shallow, tasteless waste of space girl who lies there waiting for you to finish? Well, if you haven't, going to your restaurant is the closest comparison. You had so much going for you. Your place is divine, you live in a fantastic new area, and a menu that says southern inspired makes my libido go crazy.    How can you serve chicken livers with a sperm donation size sauce on the side? I went there with a group of two couples not including my wife and I, we each had different things, hoping to share. But who wants to have pot roast without absolutely any seasoning?  Or how 'bout stuffed chicken that taste like a shoe with stove top in it? Also, it would be nice if the server check with us on the meal before we are finished. I shit you not, all we needed was salt for someone and we had to flag down another server after we waited 15 minutes from the time our entrees were served.  Our waiter came to our table 25 minutes after we received salt to ask us how was the food.  For the math majors out there reading my rant, that's 40 minutes before we saw our server after our meal was served.  Finally dessert, I passed, but some brave souls ordered the banana pudding. No freaking sugar. How can mashed up bananas not be sweet. For god's sake, its dessert. Thank you Groupon for giving me half off this meal.
 Brownstone you are the reason that the food Ninja exists. For as long as I go, I will find girls like you and expose your inner beauty. BEWARE FORT WORTH RESTAURANTS , THERE IS A NINJA IN TOWN.

The birth of a new NINJA

The origin of this ninja is like the discovery of a superhero who learns his new powers. A purveyor of justice, a person who hears the cries of thousands of people who get sick and tired of tainted food reviews. I am the Food Ninja. I will not take free meals, I will pop in unannounced, you will not know me or see my face. Executive chefs, restaurant owners be aware of the new vigilante in town. For his name is the Fort Worth Food Ninja.
