RE: RE: Re: [FairfieldLife] RE: Places to Live That Suck
I decided to check out the FF food scene, using Yelp. This set of reviews is hilarious: Thai Deli 120 West Broadway Fairfield, IA Review from Mango D., Las Vegas, NV 9/16/2006 5.0 star rating This stuff is like crack when we come to town. Make sure you come in when it is fresh. (After dome is good) We cant get enough of the creamy coconut potato dish. And the tofu and squash dish as well. They both go great mixed with the fried rice. The noodles are good sparingly when super fresh. I cannot find anything like this in California. Sigh... Fairfield, must you taunt me so! Review from Nicholas J. San Francisco, CA 1/12/2010 1.0 star rating. The reason you'll never find a Thai restaurant like this in California is because you can usually find actual Thai people voluntarily living in the coastal regions of the country, and very few of them are likely to express an interest in consuming the watered-down Grandy's buffet slop this dismal little cafeteria tries to pass off as an exotic Asian experience. If I were forced to explain their longevity, I would have to say that I believe they remain in business primarily because of the cult school up the road--an institution which seems to supply them with a steady stream of stoned Dave Matthews fans, all of whom would be lucky to successfully locate Thailand on a map after hyperventilating through the magic levitation classes their hippie parents pay for just because John Lennon told them to in a dream. Review from Max S. Fairfield, IA 5/24/2009 2.0 star rating It's dirt cheap but man does the food blow. Review from Will M. Seattle, WA 7/23/2010 1.0 star rating They nickname this place Thai Smelly. It's small town Midwest buffet meets new age crowd. Absolutely awful food. It's dirt cheap for a reason. I mean honestly, I don't know how this place survives - I wouldn't eat here if it was free. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, fairfieldlife@yahoogroups.com wrote: Richard first mentioned the food deserts concept on Tuesday. It took you until today, Saturday, to decide that Fairfield was a food oasis? It's funny, because even though I don't live in Fairfield, it would have taken me about two seconds to figure out it was a food oasis.

I could definitely walk to our local health food store though it would take about 15 to 20 minutes. There is another one on campus just outside the women's Dome so that's also a possibility. We have a locally owned convenience store/gas station, Logli's and Iowa has a chain of them called Kum N Go. Oh and Farmers Market twice a week so people can buy fresh, buy local. Yay Fairfield!

that was great Doc! and in my opinion this quote If I were forced to explain their longevity, I would have to say that I believe they remain in business primarily because of the cult school up the road is what most of the world thinks of MUM and the Movement.
