According To Who?

I was taking out the trash this morning and picked up the weekly paper.  I am not a regular reader of the paper but decided to take a look today - every now and again I get crazy like that.  Anyway, I was flipping through and saw an ad for a competitor.  This is actually a business that opened after we started The Little Brick House.  I have not heard a lot of good things about them and I am really not worried about them.  In any case I saw their ad and decided to take a closer look.  I was stunned at the sandwiches they were listing, it was like they came in and copied our menu.  I guess we should be flattered but I am not.  Then I read "the best Philly cheese steak in southern Utah".  Wow, really?  I was a bit amazed at the claim.  I believe I had the same reaction when I saw a different competitor saying they had the best grilled Reuben.  The best ______ , according to who? 

Anyone can claim their product as being the best.  That is an easy thing to say and try to claim.  Reality is a lot different.  The food will actually speak for itself.
