I used to frequent www.chowhound.com when I lived in Los Angeles to find new and interesting places to eat. Well, now I live in Chicago and I have a 3 yo which means I never eat out at any place without a kids's meal, so I don't need chowhound so much anymore.

I posted on the Texas board looking for help with dinners downtown since Sun and Mon I'll need somewhere to eat while at Leadership (my dir will be at the upper level dinner) and figured I'd make it interesting.

While there, I noticed that chowhound has other forums devoted to cooking products and gadgets and decided to do a search for Pampered Chef. BAD IDEA!!! They are bashing us there! I saw a post by Becky (pamperedbecky) trying to stick up for us, but by and large they have something big against PC over there. :mad:

There are plenty of people from the area on this board you could ask for suggestions. The only eating out that I have done when I was visiting in the last few years was one mexican restaurant and it was ok, not fantastic, and we picked up pizza other than that we usually eat in when we're in the area, so I can't help you out there, any more anyway. I wish I could visit more often though :(
 
Oh yeah, and I guess we will have to go check out this chow hound now, lol.

That's funny that you found that. I probably did a search a long time ago (I forget....I haven't visited that website in months) and found the same posts you did. I don't even remember what they were talking about. Was it the chopper or veggie peeler? I sort of remember that.

Becky, I think your post was in reply to someone who had somehow come to own a "used" stone and she wanted to clean off the discoloration! LOL!
 
Yeah- from the sound of that I am sure they are PC experts justified in bashing our products...don't people have anything better to do than post all day online to other people??? LMAO!!

Okay- guilty as charged...
