You have a few good meals, tell friends and/or post about it on the net. Said friends visit and wonder why in the *&^&% you'd ever send them there for such drivel. I do a few reviews for local BBQ places around here and make it clear, that the food I got that specific day was worth the drive. However, you could show up 5 hours later and get fodder.

Misinformation on menus is the ultimate though. Recently I went to a restaurant near Youngstown, Ohio. The billboard out front had a cowboy on it and said "Authentic BBQ". I asked the server what kind of smoker they used (knowing those ribs had been baked) and she said..."Oh no, the owner makes the guys go outside to smoke" Need I say more?
