Merrill Merr!

Zagat's Southern California writer Merrill Schindler muses on "playing a restaurant critic” on a recent episode of Flavor Flav's Flavor of Love: "What I did wrong on the show was to… smile. I smiled a lot. Actually, I grinned like an idiot the whole time. I think it was just part of my look of astonishment – the sort of look a deer in headlights would have if deer smiled. I should have been channeling Anton Ego from Ratatouille. Instead, I was Paula Abdul on American Idol." [Zagat Buzz]
