C'mon Wolfie, this would be a public service. Gawd knows four star
restaurants are expensive, if you can give us a heads up from personal
experience on which of those 180 restaurants we should avoid that would
would be awfully good of you. You HAVE eaten in at least one of those
restaurants, right ? And the meal was utter crap, right ? So, which
restaurant was it ?

Methinks the restaurant raters had more on their agenda than you or I
would, just as the editor of a FF rag has nothing but kudos to say about any
rod from a maker that pays to advertise in his magazine. I'd bet many
restaurants didn't make the list because they didn't realize they were
supposed to fawn over the raters. (Yeah, I know Mobil doesn't publish a
restaurant magazine, but I bet their raters paid less than I did and got
more attention). I have eaten in six of the restaurants on the current list,
and although none of them was a disappointing experience, by those standards
I can think of four restaurants within 50 miles that deserve to be on the
list. IMNSFHO, omission from the Mobile list isn't a good reason to lump an
establishment with all the other greasy spoons.
