Do you Support Fong’s Garden? Then Click it!
If you’re the kind of person who shows their love of something by clicking on it, here’s you chance to click on a Downtown Oconomowoc institution: Fong’s Garden! Amy Lin, an heiress to the Fong Fortune, has set up this FaceBook Group so that you can click your love at Fong’s.
Click, friends, click! Click away the bad feelings left behind by a negative story about the restaurant produced by Today’s TMJ4! Click! Click for a clean and shiny Fongs! Write on Fong’s Wall and tell them how they have very large egg rolls and they are, in fact, quite tasty.
We’ve eaten at Fong’s more times than we can count. At one point in our career, our downtown office was literally across the street from the restaurant.
Here’s the deal, though. The crooked thing about Dirty Dining segments like the one levied at Fong’s by TMJ4 isn’t that they report on alleged health code violations at local restaurants. The crooked thing about Dirty Dining Segments is that they imply that such healthcode violations don’t exist at every restaurant ever in the history of the world at one time or another.That restaurants occasionally get slapped with health code violations is a dirty, dirty fact of life.
Look, this is the only thing you can know for sure: Fong’s is certainly a restaurant, and it certainly is in Oconomowoc. And because Oconomowoc is a place that exists in the world, it has certainly had a health code violation or two from time to time. So has every other restaurant that has ever existed, ever. Trust em on this: If you knew the half of it, you’d never go out to eat.
So, Boo on Dirty Dining and TMJ4, not for targeting Fong’s, but for running a regular feature about dirty dining in the exploitationish and sensationalish way that TV stations do. Boo on you, Dirty Dining.
