LIFESTYLE editor's note

When it comes to living your life, some times it's better not to listen to yourself and take advice from the experts.   For example, if you were attacked by a gang of mafia baddies in the middle of the night, it would have proved wise to have watched that Steven Segal marathon the night before, wouldn't it?   Therefore, TDink's lifestyle section is committed to tell you where to spend your hard earned clams on the best restaurants and best travel locales.

Our food critics span across the west coast, or at least places in the west coast that matter(sorry, Barstow), and they provide you with an the inside track on restaurants that deliver the goods, and those that are as overpriced as a New York Yankee payroll.   Our critics break down the appetizers, the meals, and more importantly, the drinks faster than John Madden can say "Tough acting Tinactin".

Our travel section dissects where the hot spots are around the globe, and gives solid advice on what is a must see and what is a must avoid.   If you're like me and have a hard time figuring out where the bathroom is in my own house, or if you're just a first time traveler looking for some guidance, TDink is the site for you.   And everybody else too.   But especially for you.
