In case you hadn’t figured it out by now, I HATE fancy restaurants. I was really tired and hungry today when I left the Jackson office so I went to a place near the hotel.
I knew I was screwed as soon as I walked in the place. There was a person whose job was just to place the cloth napkin on my lap and fill up my water over and over again.
The only thing I recognized (and that I would eat) on the menu was a Filet Mignon but even that came with something called ‘White Truffle Demi-Glace’. And alls I can say about that is WTF is that? So I told the waiter that I didn’t know if I liked that stuff so please put it on the side. Turns out it looked like gravy but….it was brown. And yet the description clearly said ‘White Truffle Demi-Glace’ so I know they were just messing with me.
And if only I had a mechanical engineer with me I could have figured out how to get salt out of the metal contraption on the table that looked like a men’s cologne bottle.
I’m here two more days so tomorrow I’ll be on the hunt for Waffle Houses and Micky D's.

Ha-ha, that is especially funny when they place the napkin on your lap! Well, at least you get to eat, unlike some people we know.
OH....too good for Denny's, eh? I waitressed at a fancy restaurant in St. Louis in the early days. I actually had to pop the lobster out of its shell at the table and hope it didn't fly across the room! It was a pain in the ass.
p.s. I also have a blog with Google, although I've been remiss lately.
