Helen, I can't believe you used Sonny's and barbecue in the same blog post. This makes me question the credibility of your previous BBQ articles :-)
I have to agree with the comment regarding Sonny's and barbeque. The infamous closure of the I-485 location and the comments that ensued were an indication of the lack of quality in the restaurants as a whole. While it is easy to blame the economy on the failure of a restaurant, time and time again, in my opinion, Sonny's fails in the quality department. Keep the press releases to another section of the paper. There ought to be a minimum standard of food quality to receive a nod from Helen. While the Observer's blog response requires me to be anon. sign me native Charlottean, age 60, with lots of barbeque between the "ribs".
