We owe a debt to British culture. The island gave us our language and forged our Revolution. It gave us the Beatles, the Stones and Shakespeare. It gave us Monty Python and Mary Shelley and "Masterpiece Theater."It also gave us something else, something not quite as noble. That something is our wax-museum infatuation with the British pub. Hard as we try to make it look like the real thing, it's never quite right. Get a Guinness, get a selfie, move on.

"Underrated" is an overrated word in the restaurant world. For the restaurant illuminati, it's code for "I know something you don't know." A secret, a discovery, an inside track. For the restaurants getting hit with that unhappy cloud of stripper glitter, it's a backhanded compliment at best. Underrated by whom? And why? And thanks, but I don't need your charity. Well, here we are. I'm not crazy about the word "underrated," either.

We expect a lot from our restaurants. Too much, really. We open-carry our expectations like loaded guns for the food, the service, the decor and the kind of deference we'd never extend even to our own families. They're not restaurants; they're targets. For our disappointments, for our vitriol, for our single-star outrage. I'm guilty of it. When I heard that Chad Carey's Empty Stomach Group was opening yet another restaurant in San Antonio, I loaded my own expectations.

From Rebelle's lavish launch at the St. Anthony hotel to chef Stefan Bowers unceremonious firing in December, the restaurant's long and winding road takes another turn. https://t.co/2C1xENQyq5
For fans of the @MichelinGuideNA -recommended San Antonio barbecue joint @2m_smokehouse, here's a gift link to my @ExpressNews story on the rebranding of Blu Lacy Smokehouse as Castroville Barbecue Co. (It's an ownership split, but not the kind you think.) https://t.co/jfJc1jtodO
Can’t wait to see how they weave orange construction barrels into the narrative of “1923” as they film on the streets of San Antonio. https://t.co/aGitF9UQrT
