"Finally, the secret recipe of the Krabby Patty will be mine!"

Which I think would work just fine in this scenario. A big part of the plan was a building that is already underutilized during the rest of the week. And the extra income allows the building to be in a more central location. Although I hardly see how you're going to put a McDonald's into a building and not have…

If chili looks photogenic, I'm betting it's not very good chili. It's supposed to look like a hot mess, it's just not supposed to taste like one.

I have friends in NJ, and Bob's Big Boy is as good a reason as any to pay them a visit...

I once saw a woman order plain hot water for her kids, then proceed to pull out packets of instant cocoa at a restaurant that served homemade hot chocolate. They tipped precisely 10% to the penny and left their stupid instant cocoa detritus everywhere.

"So, technically the trendy pub in LA hawking "Kobe beef sliders" isn't doing anything illegal."

I think another important thing to consider is whether you are someone who is disciplined enough to invest on your own. One benefit of contributing to an employer 401(k) is that you never see that money directly. There is no temptation to not contribute "just this once". It's very set-it-and-forget-it, and for the…

The sad part about Kobe beef is, not only is it not Kobe, (as in, from the Kobe region of Japan), it's not even Wagyu beef. (the breed of cattle known for it's marbling)

I worked as a bartender and the mark up is astounding. I also had to laugh when someone would upgrade the vodka or something in a long island. You are paying 7 dollars more for 1/2 of an ounce of different liquor. There is total 2 or 2 1/2 ounces in the drink. Can you really taste it?

Actually, the fact that they didn't go with Chik-Fil-A has to be the most baffling part of this whole story.

Never ate bread on the ship again.

And who kneads a yeast infection? Not me.

That's an innovative way to get a yeast infection.

Tea, Earl Grey, Hot.... Aaaaaamennnnnnn.

I never give anyone the chance. To be fair I don't eat that much, but I do eat fast. Which gives me the perfect opportunity to eat as much of whatever I like, and be full before the rest of the crowd is halfway through. So chomp away my fast eating friend!! it's good, tasty and strategically advantageous!!

I have no problem doing even the same time, as long none of it is without moving. I hate been idle behind the wheel.

In the mid-nineties, I worked as a bartender at a sports bar/restaurant on the Westside of Los Angeles. The best description I can think of it that it catered to the lunch crowd from 11 - 3, the local drunks and sports fans from 3 - 9, and the cokeheads from 9 to close (and well beyond). One of the managers was…

This isn't a restaurant story, so I'll share it here.
