Riley Hamilton responds: Threatens to become CL’s “extreme” enemy

First came Brian Ries’ harsh assessment of Chili’s. Then came the outraged response from Chili’s aficionado and Fort Lauderdale blogger Riley Hamilton, naming us to his “Enemy List.” Then we posted back. Now, it’s gotten personal, and Hamilton is threatening to add us to his “Extreme Enemies” list:
Not Exactly What I Had in Mind, Creative Loafing!
Relatively unknown blog, the 941, has again proved that despite how many restaurants they defame and how many souls they CRUSH (mine) they will not retract their offensive views on Chiliâs fajitas and buffalo chicken sliders (the latter, the reviewer admits, were âtasty enoughâ). If Brian Ries had ordered aMolten Chocolate Cake for his dessert, Iâm sure his review of â2 Kickinâ Chicken Crispers (Out of 10)â would have skyrocketed to at least 9 Kickinâ Chicken Crispers. After reading every blog post in the 941 canon, I stumbled upon anentry that mentions yours truly (me) very directly now adding [Chili's World-Famous Margarita] salt to the wound. The aforementioned blog post is entitledâMission Accomplished: Creative Loafing makes Bloggerâs âEnemy Listâ!â as if it was their âmissionâ to offend a Chiliâs-loving blogger and that they had just âaccomplishedâ that âmissionâ by making me cry. I have only been to Sarasota (the 941) once (because I was lost going to somewhere cool) but there must be something in the water rendering their taste buds (and possibly minds) goofy. If this situation is not rectified immediately, itâs possible that I will have to add their personal G0d-given names (because there are TWO offenders) to my âExtreme Enemies Listâ.
The post I have just made receives the highest honor of 10 Kickinâ Chicken Crispers (Out of 10)
