I liked the premise and the setting, but didn't fall in love with the characters or the slowish pace. It's a "Shop Around the Corner"/"You've Got Mail" situation — a sort of mistaken identity trope — set in the Milwaukee restaurant/food critic scene. All of that should be right up my alley, but it omits the correspondence aspect (or, rather, turns it on its head: Al's writing creates animosity, his presence attraction), which turns it into a more mundane love story, and the characters just aren't snappy enough. I did like the title, though, and the writing is solid.
