Starved again?I still can?t shed that

July 29th, 2010

Starved again?I still can?t shed that pesky hunger habit?I walked into a restaurant with great food, slightly stiff prices, and weird service.

Sometimes I?m hungry enough to put up with weirdness, but yesterday, was another matter. The sheer absurdity of the joint got to me.

Here?s the scene. It?s 4:45 on a Friday afternoon, and I haven?t eaten a thing all day. Nothing would be better than a nice piece of prime rib, a tangy thousand isle dressing, hot bread, garlic mashed potatoes, and a glass or two of St. Francis cabernet.

Hey, it?s Friday, okay!

I walk in and ask for a booth where I can stretch out. I?m 6-2, bundled up against the wind, you get the picture, and, the place is two-thirds empty.

In addition to the main dining area, where few patrons are congregated, there is a more delightful, adjacent room; replete with those old fashioned, overstuffed red booths you can still see in my hometown?Chicago?which I like for comfort and sentimental reasons.

Ok, I?m a big, bundled up, hungry, sentimental sap.
