Corky: I'm making quite a mess...someone pass me a...
Jimbo: No napkins!
"Members of the over-the-sink dining society have to reprimand an invited guest for forgetting rule #1!"
no, you don’t get it … the idea is, all the mess falls into the sink, and all you need to do is wash it all down when you’re finished. the mess you make on your face is completely different issue!
Reminds me of a great Elaine Boosler joke: " I found a new restaurant that really makes singles feel at home; there are no tables, just sinks all around the wall."
Three at a sink is a little crowded. We have two sinks in our kitchen, a double and a small wash-up. We can safely handle three. Food on face is why you have that little sprayer thingy. Proper preparation includes having a towel alongside the festivities.
With the way they’re standing there, food is going to get all over the counter & floor. Probably more than in the sink itself. I prefer to Sit & eat. I’ll use paper plates & napkins/paper towels, thank you.
I usually prefer to eat at the table or in front of the TV, but over-the-sink eating is the best for a rush snack (no prep, no cleanup)or for something excessively drippy or sticky (napkins won’t do the trick and you were going to have to go to the sink anyway to rinse the sticky mess off your fingers).
Eating over the sink is the occasional, rare and solitary guilty pleasure. What is he thinking to have others present? Each must find the path to the sink for themselves. Enlightenment might be a taco that got out of hand, a juicy orange you were peeling and are now consuming, or even the last bite of ice cream trying to ooze its way free of the cone. Sinks are potential safety nets. But they are so only for the inventive souls for whom timing, necessity and proximity create an alternative dining experience. Finding it out with coaching, or worse, from a group trip to the sink is cheating! It’s also not as fun.

If they’ve got a big screen TV over the sink, then I see how this could work.

Eating over the kitchen sink raises the obvious question: “How do you watch TV?”
Just go into the front room, sit on the couch, put a garbage can between your legs, and go nuts.
