Albeit it was a Wednesday at 4:00pm the food was cold and the service colder! I mean even in Philly where BBQ isn't a big tradition I much prefer my hometown food. Please don't take offense I'm just being honest. I just flew in from Philly and happened to come across Everett and Jones, and I must say I'm highly disappointed!!!

I was very disappointed by how it was presented on your show. The food there is authentic and widely varied. The food shown on the program did not begin to show what is available. I moved away from Los Altos four years ago and try to go there whenever I am in the area. It was depicted as the friendly place that it is and that is due to Larry, Jennifer, and the rest of the wonderful staff that works there. For me it is the best Chinese food in the Bay Area and I am sorry that one of the participants had such a bad experience.
