Who'd have a morsel of this
And a tidbit of that.
From ragons of lamb
And chicken every way,
To bacon and ham
And Beef Bordelaise.
With tastes like that
You become a gourmet cat
During the years that my wife and I toiled at our restaurant, her indoor/outdoor cats fended for themselves from ...

World’s Best Food and Drink ComboDon’t bother mentally processing the infinite pairings possible with food and wine, in any consideration of the world’s best. I must also leave out my personal childhood favorite of Tom’s Peanut Butter Crackers and Coca Cola (a treat I still indulge on road trips). There is no doubt that a ...

An $18.00 Martini? Do I Get to Keep the Barstool?We're your customers. That's right, we pay your bills - so listen up. If we weren't already dizzy from the Martini, the $18.00 tab you presented for the lone libation certainly set our heads spinning. Let's see, with a cheapo $2.00 tip - that comes to $20.00 for a drink. ...

It’s All in the AttitudeWe're your customers. That's right, we pay your bills - so listen up. We might forgive you for leaving the salt out of the beans; for too-thick vegetables julienne; for a tasteless soup; for an occasional tough chicken fried steak. Maybe even for making us wait a bit too long ...

What did You Order?We're your customers. That's right, we pay your bills - so listen up. Why can't you remember what we ordered? It's not like you've been on a sabbatical. Consider the difference.

What’s In a Name?We're your customers. That's right, we pay your bills - so listen up. We have names, and they're not: "Hi there." "Hey, welcome," "Good evening," "Good to see you," "Right this way," "Please follow me," "I'll be right with you," "I'll be your waitperson tonight," "Thanks for coming," "Come back ...

Just Give Me a Glass of Your House WhiteWe're your customers. That's right, we pay your bills - so listen up. Why can't we understand your wine list? We know what we like, but your wine list doesn't give us a clue. Ok, so we're not wine knowledgeable, don't hate us because we'd still like some wine that ...

World’s Most Uncomfortable BarstoolWe’re your customers. That’s right, we pay your bills – so listen up. Why are your barstools so uncomfortable? Do you really want us to jump ship and move to another bar where we can adjust our attitude in comfort? Before you defend your barstools, sit in one for thirty ...

Let There Be Light!We’re your customers. That’s right, we pay your bills – so listen up. We can’t see a thing in here. We’ve been in coalmines with more light. “Excuse me, but is this the wine list or the menu? Oh, I apologize, I thought you were a waitperson.†We feel like ...

The Drive-Thru BluesWe’re your drive-thru customers. The ones who pay your bills – so listen up. Ok, let’s admit it, we occasionally find ourselves in your takeout drive-thru line, particularly on football nights. Why can’t we understand anything your menu board says? It’s not a lot of fun sitting out here talking ...
