OREGON: Getting dinged by diners - (Portland Business Journal)
May 12, 2008 – 5:42 pmThe microwave in Kevin Hutchinson’s pizza restaurant is for boiling water.
For tea, not pizza.
It’s not a detail pertinent to the operations of his restaurant, Carboni’s Wood Fire Pizza and Pasta in North Portland. But it was something Hutchinson found himself explaining thanks to an unflattering review posted anonymously online.
“That guy who wrote that bad review talked about my microwave and how I take shortcuts. If anyone knows my practice, I don’t take shortcuts. My dough takes three days to make,” Hutchinson said. “I have to back up and explain every little thing on my practice.”
