The "Gastropub"

I object to restaurants call themselves "gastropubs". First of all, the term "gastro" makes me think of flatulence, so it doesn't really endear me to an establishment. Second of all, I think its presumptuous. It's a restaurant calling itself "gourmet". If you want to serve high end food you have to just do your best and let the customers decide if your food is Gourmet. Same thing with a place that sells booze and food. If your food is good and your beer is good then you'll get labeled as a gastropub. If not, your just a bar and grill, which is fine. But calling yourself gastropub doesn't make your food or your beer selection any better.

I'm pretty sure we don't have gastropubs in IN.

By the way. King's Row in Old Town also sucks donkey balls.
