Food media Christiane digs Barcelona; Southern Art, not so much

The cover is a 2.5-star review of Barcelona on North Highland. Christiane spends a good bit of time every year in Barcelona, so she knows that city's food well. That makes it all the more remarkable that she has very little critical to say about the restaurant's food. She does, however, note that "the noise level and pounding music suit a carousing younger crowd."
The issue also includes a great roundup of roti restaurants and a two-star review of CariSoul Cuisine, an Afro-Carribbean restaurant inside the Darlington Apartments. Cafe Dominican and The Marlay House also earn two stars, while Octopus Bar, the after-hours operation at So Ba in East Atlanta Village, earns 2.5 stars. Finally, there's a guide to finding good fejoada, the Brazilian stew, and an unflattering first look at Southern Art in the Intercontinental Buckhead, plus a ton of gossip.

I have read Lauterbach's reviews and views for years now. I definitely respect her palate, experience & pedigree.
She has given a couple of restaurants that I have worked at very good reviews.
But I am getting tired of reading her condescending words. I agree with them half of the time and think she is way off base the other half.
When writing about Jamon Iberico in the Barcelona review, she notes "after eating this you will see how weak your local charcutier is." - Well, true we don't have any acorn only fed Iberian pigs being farmed in our countryside. And yes, we are relatively new to the charcuterie game compared to our European friends... But why you gotta be such a condescending beotch about that? We are learning quickly and charcuterie around town is getting better every year..
