Late to the party, but plus fucking one on this whole chain. As a former server, I can't tell you how much I appreciate the empathy of folks like you. And the empathy is of course reciprocal.

I can't wait for you to get bored with this site and leave.

I would love for Patrick Stewart to get a hold of The Food Babe. He wouldn't go down as easy as he did to Mathilda.

Oh yeah, that storied Alabama rocket scientist heritage. Was that the Tuscaloosa Von Brauns, or was it the clan from Decatur?

Jesus. Just showing that last picture to my dishes made them scrub themselves clean.
