Sometimes a crime is so heinous, so unspeakably monstrous that it needs to be called out again and again and again.\u00a0 Allow me to set aside my usual anti Guy Fieri rants to join in the chorus against Man v. Food\u2019s appalling choice of location in Ann Arbor.<\/p>\n

Tios?!?!?!?!\u00a0 Are you fucking serious?\u00a0 I don\u2019t give a shit that Adam Richman probably has some research hack choosing his places to eat, it\u2019s his show and this idiotic abomination is on him.\u00a0 It\u2019s like someone ran a meth lab out of his basement.\u00a0 Sorry pal, you are culpable.<\/p>\n

I engaged in a back and forth on facebook with one of our readers where we speculated on Adam\u2019s choice.\u00a0 I hoped he would eat the Suicide Wings at my favorite wing location, Mr. Spots.\u00a0 The reader suggested Bomber, which would have left much amusement if he lost the challenge because John conquered that one.<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n

As for the real choices, no argument with Blimpy, although since Fieri was there it wouldn\u2019t have hurt to try somewhere new.\u00a0 Now you just look like Diners, Drive Ins, and Dives bitch for going there, so tell us how that feels Man v. Food?\u00a0 You like being Guy Fieri\u2019s bitch?<\/p>\n

I won\u2019t argue with the choice of Maize and Blue Deli.\u00a0 I\u2019m a fan and have been since I first ate there in 1993.\u00a0 I still rank Zingerman\u2019s and Amer\u2019s higher but no problem with Maize and Blue.\u00a0 Solid deli with amazing sandwiches.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But Tios?\u00a0 Holy shit is that embarrassing.\u00a0 Anyone who has even the slightest idea of what authentic Mexican food is can recognize Tios for being the half-assed poseurs that they are.\u00a0 John and I can argue until we are blue in the face about whether La Fuente or Los Amigos is better, but one thing we can agree on:\u00a0 Tios sucks on a truly epic level.\u00a0 For further info I refer you to my favorite of John\u2019s award winning Tios posts.<\/a><\/p>\n

And I don\u2019t want to hear any of this \u201cTios is ranked best Mexican\u201d or some other whiny, idiotic bullshit like that.\u00a0 The fact that Tios has won that award speaks volumes about Ann Arbor\u2019s lack of decent Mexican restaurants.\u00a0 Sorry Ann Arbor, Ypsilanti owns you as far as Mexican is concerned.\u00a0 You have to stretch credibility, but since Prickly Pear<\/a> calls itself a \u201cSouthwestern Caf\u00e9\u201d I will call it best in Ann Arbor.\u00a0 Certainly better than Sabor Latino.<\/a>\u00a0 Would anyone argue against that?\u00a0 Prickly Pear\u2019s dumpster leavings blow away Tios.<\/p>\n

My level of outrage over this has surprised me.\u00a0 Adam Richman, I thought you were cool.\u00a0\u00a0 Isn\u2019t there a game show for you to host?\u00a0 You might as well put some backward sunglasses on and spike and dye your hair.\u00a0 Loser.<\/p>\n

As an addendum to this, since I have not officially reviewed Tios yet I vow to visit sometime within the next month and give it a fair, impartial review.\u00a0 I haven’t eaten at Tios\u00a0in over 10 years, so in the interest of fairness I will make another attempt.\u00a0 Ugh.\u00a0 It’s been a while since EP went into the belly of the beast, and I will take one for the team and give it another try.<\/p>\n

Also, I am back from my trip to Philadelphia, which was quite solid.\u00a0 I plan a muti-part post on Philly dining and my road trip there and back in the future in a segment called:\u00a0 Jeremy Eats the Road (not literally).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
