I went back to re-read these reviews (I wanted to post them here) and now I can&#8217;t find them! \u00a0Now I don&#8217;t want to start any sort of conspiracy here but &#8230;. seriously&#8230; unless I&#8217;m totally losing it they&#8217;ve gone MIA. \u00a0 Anyway, I will ask is the food really that good? \u00a0 \u00a0I&#8217;m not a masochist anyway and I doubt a serving of moules et frites will change my life. \u00a0So, for now I&#8217;m happy going to the Sizzler Steakhouse.<\/p>\n<p>My advice &#8211; &#8211; guys lighten up! \u00a0The great thing about Sag Harbor is it&#8217;s a <em>friendly<\/em> town with not a whole lotta attitude. \u00a0 \u00a0 Yes, you&#8217;re the new kid in town and lots of overdressed and socially insecure people are posting \u00a0tons of photos on Instagram, blah blah blah. \u00a0 \u00a0 &#8220;Look I got in and you didn&#8217;t!!!&#8221; \u00a0 But this stuff wears thin when most of us are busy worrying about more mundane things like our families, health and paying bills. \u00a0Believe me the folks who are getting in WILL care when they&#8217;re the only people in the place. \u00a0 Otherwise, they wouldn&#8217;t be posting their dinners on line! \u00a0 \u00a0&#8220;Look I got in&#8230; and I&#8217;m the only one here &#8211; because nobody really wants to be here&#8221; doesn&#8217;t have quite the same sexy allure. \u00a0 \u00a0 I&#8217;ve seen it before over and over in the Hamptons and it will happen to you too&#8230; too much attitude can be the kiss of death.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, I was getting my morning coffee at Goldberg&#8217;s in Wainscott &#8211; a friendly place but I don&#8217;t eat carbs (lying). \u00a0 \u00a0When I came across the most interesting and delicious looking brownie. \u00a0 Now remember, I don&#8217;t eat carbs or sweets (lying again) but when I read the story about this amazing bakery I felt the need to eat&#8230; I mean contribute. \u00a0 It&#8217;s called South Fork Bakery. \u00a0 According to their <a href=\"http:\/\/www.southforkbakery.com\/home.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">website<\/a>:<\/p>\n<p><em>South Fork Bakery\u2019s purpose is to provide meaningful and<\/em><br \/>\n<em>supportive employment to South Fork residents<\/em><br \/>\n<em>with ADHD, Auditory Processing Disorders, Autism and<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Developmental Disabilities.
