Join Me for Lunch at the Bon Ton Cafe (New Orleans)

Note: I was impressed with the feedback generated by yesterday’s feature on the best restaurants in New Orleans (READ: A RESTAURANT GUIDE TO NEW ORLEANS). It’s good to know many others have similar tastes and recommendations. Here’s a follow-up with a review that explains more about a typical New Orleans dining experience.

Warning! Do Not Eat at this Restaurant!

I just finished walking two fucking miles through the mountains of North Carolina only to find the ending point of my destination closed for business.

I did this not just once, but twice. Once on Saturday, and again a second time on Sunday.

You might ask — at what precise hour of the day were my two excursions?

My first venture ended at 2:20 pm. My second venture was completed at 1:05 pm.

Question: What kind of fucking pancake house padlocks its front doors at 1:05!

I’ll tell you precisely what pancake house. Stick around. Grab a chair. Pop some popcorn. Better yet — make some pancakes!

Don’t Fuck With Butter

I have a rule. It is this.

DON’T FUCK WITH BUTTER.

Pretty clear. Simple to understand. Easy to follow.

Why I’m Now in Favor of Waterboarding

The best Italian restaurant in Las Vegas is…

….Olive Garden.

According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal and the annual “Readers Choice Awards” released yesterday, Olive Garden was voted as the “Best Italian Restaurant” in Las Vegas.” This appeared in the 2013 edition of the “Best of Las Vegas” section.

Excuse me for a moment.

Bwwwwwwwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Guess Who’s (Not) Coming to Dinner?

When someone with impeccable taste in food and dining invites me to dinner, I usually accept.

However, after a recent debacle, I’ll have to re-think this policy.

This “friend” invited me to dinner at a restaurant I knew to be fantastic, but which I hadn’t visited in years. He casually mentioned to me that some of his other “friends” would also be there. Fine.

I showed up on time. My next vision was right out of a horror movie. I was astounded to walk in and see twenty strangers sitting at the table. Strangers! His friends!
