The Internet as the Truth…for Asians.   Is it true that a good restaurant review - perhaps accompanied by a few choice photos - will fill an opening day with…Asians?  In a time when the Internet becomes more and more a reflection of reality, is it the case that one ethnicity above all relies on the Internet what it sees to be the “truth?”  Why is it that you can’t eat a restaurant unless you’ve read all the reviews online?  Why is it that a few bloggers (or worse, those people who write on the food websites) influence what an entire race eats one restaurant, one meal at a time?!   Can’t we figure out what to eat on our own?
