The Stranger’s rival noticed that ads for Thomas Street Bistro appeared in the Stranger two weeks after the restaurant was panned by the paper, and the review was pulled off thestranger.com. The Stranger says the review was yanked because the restaurant was critiqued too soon, and that the bistro was given free ad space because of production errors in previous ads.
