Thanks for the close eye, Karl. That's the preferred spelling, though some do it differently. Just wanted you to know it wasn't carelessness...
How is that a preferred spelling? Leaving the letter N out of restauranteur? Step down already and let's get some fresh blood in the Dining section!!! You're a has been, like the steakhouse era in SouthPark that you hated.....out with the old!!
Notwithstanding my seniority, I post this for spelling aficionados who might worry:
