An NNTP "list active.times" request to news.math says this newsgroup
was created "Sun Jul 26 18:36:14 1992", but not who did it.
Actually, that's only when this particular news server started getting it,
it's older than that. I found these postings in my old logs.
Some things have changed a lot:

How about a somewhat negative recommendation?
I recently ate at the new St.Jeromes Chicken place in the nearby
University Shops Plaza. The food was about as expected for this
chain. What was interesting though was the waitress sitting in
the corner. She was taking the knives and forks from the dish-
washing basket, carefully polishing them, and wrapping them in
napkins. Fine, except while she was doing this she was puffing
away on a cigarette, and presumably putting a nice coating of
ash and tar on the cutlery. So, in addition to having to request
non-smoking seating, we now have to ask for non-smoked utensils?
It makes one wonder what the cooks were doing in the kitchen.
And some haven't:

I suppose "best" depends upon one's tastes.
If your food background is German, you might like the Harmony Lunch
burgers. Otherwise, you're best advised to stay away.
The nicest description of their burgers that I've heard is
"deep fried lard balls". This is only a slight exageration.
When I visited the place a few years ago they would use an
ice-cream scoop to scoop up a ball of very-fatty ground pork
from a large barrel, and this was flattened and fried. The
melted fat that ran off wasn't lost though, it was mixed with
large quantities of onion and served on top of the burger.
And I have a reference to kw.general from 1985.
So the kw.eats newsgroup is well over 20 years old
(as are Prabhakar and I).

Wow. Some things never change. (And strangely, I'm tempted to
actually try Harmony Lunch now. :)

Yeah, like the quality of food in this town.
Try it once. --PR
(PS I did have a decent meal at Pupuseria Latinos, which had the
virtue of being cheap and friendly [the service, not the meal]. Not
the best Salvadorean food I've ever had, but not the worst.)
