I found that playing dumb and making them explain the logic a great way to respond. It worked different ways. When I tended bar, guests would be shocked that I was unaware of the special drink that you ordered from the other guy that one time. "Someday I'll know ALL THE DRINKS!"

So, wait. There WASN'T a Penn State Pedophile scandal? (dad went to Rutgers many years ago and I will defend them with knee-jerk consistency, regardless)

As the song says, "It's been awhile...", so let's see if I can remember correctly!

We did that to Rick Bayless in Frontera. He actually came out and chatted with us. I was shocked and thanked him. I would never hold it against him (or any chef) if they said no.

From day one it sounded like sleigh bells. So it makes me think of anything but some random Cowboys game from the nineties.

Still my favorite!

It's like he showed them a magic trick.

Or Kirk, too...

Wow! If Kurt Gibson were still alive, he'd be pissed at what happened to his D'backs team. Or is Towers calling HIM a pussy too?

Aaaaaand.....done! (Burp). Damn fine sandwich. No complaints. Bread came out nice nice and crispy. I just needed to cook it for about 10 more minutes. My only change, I'll butter the bread before baking it.

Alright Burneko! The sandwich is in the oven. This better be good.

He had the "this is going on Deadspin" face right after that.
