Comments on: “Taste of Decatur” Not So Tasty http://www.decaturmetro.com/2010/04/25/taste-of-decatur-not-so-tasty/ News, Events & Discussion Sat, 11 Apr 2015 05:59:52 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=4.1.1 By: bsp2323 http://www.decaturmetro.com/2010/04/25/taste-of-decatur-not-so-tasty/#comment-37209 Tue, 27 Apr 2010 20:30:56 +0000 http://www.decaturmetro.com/?p=20705#comment-37209 The person/entity that perpetrated the “Taste of Decatur” on our community last weekend has now changed the name of that website to “Tour of Decatur”. Be warned…the URL is still the same (www.tasteofdecatur.com) so it’s the same person/entity who is planning another questionable event. Also, this Total Access Guide (aka TAG/MAG aka The TAG Firm) and its front man Stanley Ellis doesn’t seem to have any physical address. Go ahead…try to find one. As the saying goes: fool me once shame on you…fool me twice…I’m an idiot.

I went to their page before I even knew about Living Social’s deal. The website stated that there would be tastings, 50% off food, or buy one get one deals on food. In actuality 2 places had tastings, 2 had some variation of buy one, get one, and the rest had discounts that weren’t even close to 50% off.
I was aware it wasn’t going to be like Taste of Atlanta, and it still wasn’t even like what you were led to expect from the site.
I don’t care how much it costs, for $5 I expect something somewhat organized. I had to find out through other people that RockIt was where the will call ended up being. After that it was just sort of like here’s your stamp, bye!

That sort of flies in the face of most of the descriptions of people’s experiences with this event.

Just out of curiosity, what about your experience was so awesome?

Because you know, naming it with another main event in Decatur (TourDecatur Run) won’t cause more confusion.

Out all of this, I learned that there is a worthy & legit event to look forward to in Sept.
