But for instance there's a place near me which is consistently praised by the press. I've never been, based purely on the fact that, if you decide two of you want to share a dish, they charge you $18 for the extra fork. It's opposite a delightful diner where you'd be pressed to eat $18 dollars worth of food.

He could just ask for an extra plate but it would probably cost $60john9blue wrote:What the fork?!? 18 dollars?jonesthecurl wrote:I think pretentious restaurants are the worst. If they can produce the goods, maybe I'll forgive 'em.

Bring your own fork. Go buy one. Share the fork. Split it in two with your bare hands. It's easier than getting one from them.

Sounds like you should expect them to be in the $40 range.jonesthecurl wrote:I think the fork (as well as being an actual fork) is a metaphor. I don't think taking your own fork would stop them charging you. DUnno. Never going in there. (It also means that there is going to be not a single dish that's less tha $18 in there...)john9blue wrote:What the fork?!? 18 dollars?jonesthecurl wrote:I think pretentious restaurants are the worst.

It's barely shy of my all time best for flavour, they are deadly consistant, wonderfully polite family run, in the same parking lot as that Redwater Grill place I'm complaining about, and to feed the kids with us and take home two lunch servings cost $1.30 less than that steak. Seriously what the mullet?
Hope you have a steller week Jones!

A woman I know finally got off the phone. Sometimes I just don't want to be bothered knowing that they got freaked out by a spider in their bathroom and how I suck for not driving 20 minutes to take care of it.
Re: the longest thread, thread - Occasionally NSFW
You didn't seem to mind the drive over when you dropped off the spider.
