About F*Yeah
Life's too short for mediocre meals and overpriced hotel rooms.
You know that friend who actually tells you when you've got spinach in your teeth? That's me, but for restaurants and hotels and the oddball from time to time. I’m not here to write poetry about micro greens or wax lyrical about pillow menus. I’m here to answer one question: Would we go back?
The Rating System
It's simple: F*Yeah or F*No.
F*Yeah means I’d spend my own money to return. It means I've already recommended it to my mother, my boss (!), and that person I’d be trying to impress on Hinge if I had not married the most wonderful woman already. These are the places that make me believe in the transformative power of hospitality – whether it's through the perfect french fries that save a terrible day, or the hotel staff who somehow know exactly when to offer a late checkout without being asked.
F*No means exactly what you think it means. Maybe they served chicken so dry it could be classified as jerky. Maybe the "luxury" hotel room's view was of an air conditioning unit and came with bonus bedbugs. Maybe the service made us feel like I was inconveniencing them by existing. Maybe the "boutique experience" was just IKEA furniture with a 300% markup. Whatever the reason, I’m not going back, and I’m saving others the trouble of finding out why firsthand.
What F*Yeah Is Not
This isn't a typical review site. No stars, no points out of ten, no "diamond" ratings for hotels. A place can't be "3.7 out of 5 stars good" any more than someone can be "kind of" pregnant or "somewhat" on fire.
What F*Yeah is not:
A marketing platform for "luxury experiences" and "bespoke stays"
A collector of comped meals and sponsored hotel stays
A cheerleader for $45 burgers masquerading as "elevated pub fare"
A believer in the myth that thread count equals quality
A place where "constructive feedback" means sugarcoating the truth
Another voice in the chorus of bland, careful hospitality reviews
What This Is
I’m someone who care deeply about good food, genuine hospitality, and telling it like it is. I believe that life is too precious to waste on disappointing meals and hotels that mistake pretense for luxury. I believe that honest criticism makes the industry better, and that praise means nothing if you're not willing to also say when something sucks – whether it's a $400 tasting menu or a "five-star" resort charging $50 for parking.
Sometimes I'll make you laugh. More rarely I'll make restaurateurs and hoteliers cry. But I'll always tell you the truth, served straight up, no chaser.
Welcome to F*Yeah. Let's live.
