Quote on Capitalism

Posted in Uncategorized on December 28th, 2009 by admin – Be the first to comment

“Capitalism lacks romantic appeal. It does not set the pulse racing in the way that opposing ideologies like socialism, fascism, or environmentalism can. It does not stir the blood, for it identifies no dragons to slay. It offers no grand vision for the future, for in an open market system the future is shaped not by the imposition of utopian blueprints, but by billions of individuals pursuing their own preferences.”

~Peter Saunders, “Why Capitalism is Good for the Soul”

Best food in Spartanburg, SC

I know most people will never go to Spartanburg, SC just to visit. But if you do, these are must visit restaurants.

  • Best Thai Food - Bangkok - the best Thai food I’ve ever had, and awesome customer service.  Every dish at our table of four was excellent.   Request the spice tray if you like something different or to add an extra kick to your dish.  They also serve crispy wonton strips while you wait.   Prices are pretty good considering what you get.  $8-15 for most dishes.
  • Best customer service and good food - The Four Seasons/The Cellar - the fancy restaurant is upstairs and if you drive around back there’s a door to The Cellar which is a neat bar and it serves the same food.  Amazing burgers and the owner waited on us even though we were the only people sitting downstairs at lunch time (most people visit The Cellar in the evening).   She was insanely kind to us and by far the best service I’ve had in the South (Ruth’s Chris is an exception).   The desserts are to die for and everything is homemade.
