The Sunday review is of Regi's American Bistro in Federal Hill, which has been around since 1978.
My first draft of the review included about five paragraphs of what an editor said was "sausage-making.
I felt it was important to divulge that I worked at Regi's back in the 1980s, when Regi Elion still owned it (before there were child-labor laws, obviously), that I recognize the current owner of Regi's, Alan Morstein, when I see him on the street, and that Morstein for a while contributed a weekly "market report" to this blog before I took it over.
I then talked about what effect all of that had on my ability to remain impartial and unbiased in my review of Regi's.
All of that is information you should have, but it was clogging up the review.
That's why it's nice to have this blog.
