Not only that, but the recommended restaurants seem mostly tired and predictable – locales you can find in any upscale guidebook. There’s no insider’s feel to it (despite the fact that I myself have submitted a couple recommendations from the various European cities I’ve lived in . You’d probably be better off leaving this extra volume at home.
