Blogger Influence
I was flipping through some blogs when I landed on Flippa X’s post on Burger Boutique. The post opened up my appetite and 30 minutes later I was at Burger Boutique having dinner. I thought that was pretty interesting because I don’t do that with magazines. I never read a food article in a magazine and then acted upon it. With blogs I have done it a bunch of times already. Although this might sound strange but I think the reason is I find blogs more credible then magazines, or should I say more real..

Burger Hub is better…burger boutique is more like johnny rockets, as in it is junk food, not a good healthy burger

BurgerHub is way too hyped .. IMO, getting fresh burgers from Sultan is much better.

You did the wrong thing, if you had written a bad review on a restaurant, you would be eating free food now from that place.

WOW. I never thought you would land on my blog. Anyways, thanks for stopping by. I never thought i would influence this someone through my blog. Anyhow, hope you had a great meal :)

wtf is burger hub? and where is it? i am on a quest for good brugers in kwt and so far only JR has been the best.
i tried BB the other day and it was too greasy and overpriced, also highly pretentious, confused-kuwaiti-artfag trash. i was grossed out with the sweaty stink inside the stupidly dark place so i had to sit outside in that little area they set up in near the middle. fuck BB.

We have magazines with restaurant reviews? :/ Sounds more like marketing to me.
12. Marzouq | July 1st, 2006 at 1:22 am
I agree with 3baid! hehehe! Its true I have done more things, and bought more things from online reviews and blog reviews rather than magazines!
13. TweeZ | July 1st, 2006 at 1:46 am
LOOOOOOOOL, nice one Holla! Kuwaiti-artfag, thats a new one :)
14. holla | July 1st, 2006 at 2:20 am
yeah tweez there are a lot. just these confused gender kuwaiti nerd dudes that think photochopping macro pix they take on their digicam is really artsy.
digital art has always been full of trendy, pretentious fucks thanks to how easy it is to substitute talent for technology in this particular field. you can still tell though when someone actually has a solid artistic base thank god.
half of these fuckers can’t draw worth a shit with a pencil. i know bc when i took design classes in university and i always started my projects on paper, these fuckers were already whipping up cheapo crap in PS.
15. holla | July 1st, 2006 at 2:24 am
art in general is full of pretentious type shit but digi art is like 100000x more bc it’s more easily accessible to the average moron with a PC and a pirated version of photoshop.
somebody needs to design the perfect burger in burgerCAD.
16. Moey | July 1st, 2006 at 7:21 am

20. Marzouq | July 1st, 2006 at 1:52 pm
I agree with Mark about the Burger Boutique having a nice interior. I think some of the japanese places in q8 have nice interiors as well!
21. Mark | July 1st, 2006 at 2:21 pm
Hey Twaif which MacBook did you get and from where?
22. Sakta | July 1st, 2006 at 2:37 pm
BB sucks..i hate it , the whole atmosphere sucks..anyways they gave me old ketchup (have u ever heard of that, well thats what i got?) and the place has a smell,..Johnnnnny rulzzzz
23. holla | July 1st, 2006 at 8:28 pm
oh shit sakta i thought you would most def. like BB. yeah it has a really funky smell, like sweaty grease. i was in there for 5 mins and i came out and my clothes stunk for the rest of the day.
i think it’s bc the foundation was intended as a regular shop not as a resturant so it has no ventilation.
24. TweeZ | July 1st, 2006 at 11:55 pm
the place looks like a new-age brothel.
25. TwaiF | July 2nd, 2006 at 8:18 am

26. msabah | July 7th, 2006 at 9:57 pm
