Ya know, Shoe, you MIGHT have more success if you DRESSED. . .a myriad of . . .um . .flaws . . .can be minimized with a shirt. . .as Edith Head said, “If it’s ugly, cover it up.”
Since there are no entrees on the table and the waiter STILL hasn’t shown up, doesn’t that the tardy waiter will EVENTUALLY serve Shoe and his philosophical date a GOOD meal? If so, why does Shoe argue that the absent waiter doesn’t agree?
In my little patch of paradise, little cafes and street “restaurants” are ubiquitous, so selection often comes down to what they’re serving that day or the prices. These little bodegas served great food for a very reasonable price. Service is fast, friendly, and efficient – which is more than I can say for the so-called upscale restaurants (with some exceptions).
My wife and I can afford to dine out down here. A full lunch (soup, main course, juice or coffee/tea) averages $1.50 -$2.50 per person and dinner with non-alcoholic beverage costs between $2.50 and $4.50 each, depending on what you have.
BTW The average price of a meal at CHILIS in the Mall runs about $17 – a burger is somewhere around $8+ and draft beer is about $4.50! I can get a great burger with everything on it ( real cheese, a fried egg, a slice of fried mortadella [balogna], tomato and onion, and fries ) at a little neighborhood restaurant for $2.50! Guess where I go, when I’ve got a craving for a burger?
Some of the best meals I ever had were at plain old “mom and pop” places. I went to an “upscale” place once and they served tiny portions for outrageous amounts of money. Even the portion wasn’t all that great, taste-wise.

Anyone else notice that restaurants are now very expensive, have mediocre food and poor service?

Fast good or cheap. Choose two.

Sometimes, no matter how patiently you wait the good stuff never quite makes it to the table.

I guess the cigar is just part of his persona, even in a restaurant.
