Another issue that Bourdain noted in Kitchen Confidential is that the same friends who say you should open a restaurant are the same ones that keep dropping by and expects a bunch of comps and freebies and never pick up a check.

Give him a break, eating that boot is the only chance at a dinner break he’s gonna get while in crunch.

Damn, son. You're supposed to lick the boot, not eat it.

There’s a bloomin’ onion on this menu. A fucking bloomin’ onion. Who the hell is eating here/paying these prices? Why? And sweet corns? Is it a mix of a variety of corn? Several different sweet corns from around the world? Or do you get several mini cobs of corn? Even so, corn is both singular and plural if you’re…

Hey, at least you have Justin Beiber Norwood. ;P GEN X RULES! :D

Boomers caused both bubbles. They are the ones controlling the money supply and the interest rates and they are the ones that decided that investments should be made into various industries. And they are the ones that will soon retire and have the power to suck this country dry.

oh yeah, mixtapes (and later burned CDs) were "free" music back in the day... you just might have some kind of ad or sound effect right before or after your song. A small price to pay!
