That’s so you can leave still hungry. That ain’t no diner, you know.

I remember thinking that same thing at the first expensive restaurant that I went to.

Tea roots don’t take up much space…

“And how did you find your steak, sir?” “I moved a couple of the peas, and there it was!”

“….mashed French tea root, sounds mouth watering…………NOT!

Foo-foo food restaurants, are like over priced fancy brand clothing. You pay extra for the name – when you can get equal, or better quality and value elsewhere.

He said he’s amazed while still looking at the food, dude. No bite had been taken; no morsel had touched his tongue.

Welcome to the world of nouvelle cuisine…

It reminds me of the episode of “Rumpole of the Bailey” when he wanted to order bangers and mash in a fancy French restaurant.

He ALSO complained about the small serving of what he ended up picking from the menu (no ‘bangers and mash’ on the menu).

He complained about going home hungry.

Of course, by the end…the owner of the restaurant owed him a favor for winning a case, so Rumpole WAS allowed to have a proper plate of ‘bangers and mash’ in a quantity that satisfied Rumpole.

I went to an expensive restaurant with friends once. One of the ‘sides’ that were served with my chicken was called sea something but I had seen the same stuff growing beside the roads. Bunch of phonies.

reminds me of the commercial about the military guy who supports his chef sister and her little food.

I can’t eat in those types of places. I have the appetite of a gourmand, not the budget of a gourmet
