Wed, 9 May 2001 12:02:44 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Shecket - I came to London fearing the worst in the food. I ate some "last meal" type dinners in the days leading up to my trip, with burgers, fries, and deli sandwiches around town, back home in Columbus, OH. When I arrived, however, I discovered that London...

My take on Steak 'n Shake

Tue, 12 Dec 2000 14:50:23 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Shecket - Steak & Shake is great for when I want a break from the usual rotation of Wendy's, Mcdonalds, Taco Bell, etc. It also makes for a good road stop meal. It is not as economical as the aforementioned restaurants, so I only go every once in a...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Shecket - Time Warner just added Newsworld International to their digital lineup in the Columbus area, and after just an evening of viewing, I can already see why.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Shecket - To most people, our electoral stalemate has dragged on long enough such that they are longing for the tranquility of politics as usual.

Fri, 29 Sep 2000 09:03:45 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Shecket - Each year, at my school, we organize a fantasy baseball and fantasy football league on Yahoo!, with both students and teachers participating. This would be very difficult to do on ESPN.com, since each team costs $20, which is not compatable with our...

Wed, 2 Aug 2000 20:00:50 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Shecket - I first discovered google when I learned it had won an award among search engines. I found it very surprising that I had never heard of this site, so I had to try it.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Shecket - Sunday night, at 9:00 PM, most people are probably watching the X-Files or Who Wants to be a Millionaire. I, however, have found the most lively, unpredictable, entertaining half-hour on television.

Wed, 7 Jun 2000 04:59:34 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Shecket - If the Bucs truly got "robbed", as brwnmack said they were, it was simply a case of the NFL officials giving them a taste of their own medecine.

Old Country Buffet Syndrome

Mon, 5 Jun 2000 23:04:53 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author Shecket - This place is bad. There's no question about it. Unless you have a hankering for, say, macaroni & cheese, you'd be best to skip this chain.

Thu, 20 Apr 2000 12:07:30 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Shecket - Say what you will about Queen, but there is no denying their stage presence. With the exception of their ill-fated North American and Australian tours in their first years, one would be hard pressed to find anybody leave a Queen show disappointed.
