Universal Hub shares the harrowing news of a food blogger who was invited to the “VIP” opening of newish Fenway pub Sweet Caroline’s and suffered an ever-so C-list experience. Among the restaurant’s offenses were an absent red carpet and styrofoam-ish appetizers.

Bemoaned blogger The Boston Foodie:

“Let me just say up front that this was so ungracious a reception we wondered if it was really happening or just some weird dream, the kind that food writers have.” We usually have dreams about foie gras donuts, but whatever. Anyway, TBF was later ordered to wait outside in frigid tempts, where a hitherto present red carpet somehow vanished; later, TBF was subjected to “a tasteless square of what was described as pastry but was really more like styrofoam injected with a microscopic portion of lobster. In my opinion, I even doubted it was lobster.”

In conclusion, the “shoddy, inexcusable service” was nothing less than a “revolting violation of trust. You are a true, lasting, memorable disappointment,” he scolded.

Sean Young totally would’ve known how to cope with this, right?

The comments at UH are pretty priceless, too.
