Pei Wei - Restaurant of the Day.......Huh!?!?!?

Since when does a chain restaurant get featured on this site, let alone one that does not appear to have been reviewed?  Did they pay their way to get promoted?
 
Something isn't right about this.

There are more than one chain restaurants reviewed and blessed by Roadfood.com.

Just another example that this site is rapidly becoming food.com, nevermind the "road".

Well, I see the one that was reviewed is located in Denver. I can assure you that Pei Wei Diner won't be on my list for my upcoming trip to Denver in a couple of weeks

Are you guys seeing something that I am not?  I see a Tucson, AZ restaurant listed as today's ROD, and I don't see any reviews in the Colorado restaurant reviews, either.

Perhaps your eyes  repel "chain  food" and your mind automatically replaces it with another restaurant in its place. 
 
It was there this morning, it was actually Buffetbuster who pointed this out to me- Looks like they have since replaced it

Coincidentally, I have been to a Pei Wei before and it was in Tucson, on the campus of U of A.  Yeah, I know, but it was after a week of eating almost nothing but Southwestern food and the person I was with loves Chinese food.  It was actually pretty good.  As TTM points out, it isn't even listed under Colorado.  Very strange!

BTW, the restaurant that replaced it, Juice N Fruit, looks fantastic!

Perhaps, then, it was something that just got sneaked past the review editors (i.e. they didn't realize that it was a chain....possible if they don't have one in the local area)?  If anyone has a link to the review, I would be curious to see it. But, I suspect (and I obviously say this without having seen said review) that it was a user-submitted review - not an editorial staff review.  If so, it further emphasizes just how much weight I personally put on those user-submitted reviews.

TTM-
Which explains why you didn't go to my reviewed Pierogies Plus while you were in Pittsburgh!

That would be ONE explanation.  I can think of two or three others right now.

There was no actual written review, but the photos were taken by Stephen Rushmore.
