Yelp Review of the Day

Lara W.'s Reviews | Berkeley | Yelp

"Homeroom
Category: American (New)
Neighborhoods: Temescal, North Oakland
Update - 10/24/2011 ROTD 11/30/2011
I want to set the record straight.

My family decided to go here one night, and I came along, with a 3 star expectation.

Well, I'm a moron. I WAS WRONG,OK?!

I tried the Exchange Student or the Foreigner or something like that and it was so good. I made sure to get the greens added to the mix, which indeed made a big difference in my enjoyment of the dish. But the pepper and pecorino were apparently just what I needed.

Some other diners at the table had the sharp cheddar which was fantastic, and my brother had a meaty mexican mac n'cheese which I didn't eat but sounded brilliant.

The salad was excellent.

The service was even more excellent.

Conclusion: EXCELLENT.

...
EXCEPT:
for the hipster jerks
hungrily waiting to eat here
who wouldn't get up from the curb
when I was trying to park my car
because they hate me for driving
and they have big calf muscles from biking
and they're all attitude
and they're probably not even from Oakland
so go back to Missouri or whatever. Posers.
Thanks.
O
wait
I don't need to be polite to you
because you roll your eyes in the direction of politeness.
the end."

I think it's the constant self-deprecating sense of humor + the Engrish + the vulgarity that make him so damn hilarious.

You must not have ready the bottom portion after "Except".

Your comment though made me look at her pictures in which this was one of them in her profile pictures.
