  1. I have not, kind sir. Want to tell me about them?
  2. Start it up for me and I'll do it.
  3. Like reheating a fried pie?
  4. Wudja?
  5. Steak-Ums.
  6. I'd rather have chops than calamari.
  7. We haven't, and I haven't since the eighties. You like? First rule of Burger Club is that Burger Joint is on Broadway and 77th. That being said, I've heard mostly positive reports from Parker Meridian. Figured I should try them myself. They're cheap enough, anyway. I will try to keep it in mind to send you a special invitation for our meetings if the thread is too strenuous to keep up with.
  8. It's actually Jeat jet. Wait, you weren't doing Nine Stories, were you?
  9. So, are you definitely in?
  10. My fish monger in Provincetown was funny. Bob the fish monger, he was.
  11. Is that your final answer?
  12. Don't forget man meat.
  13. I'm with you, but will investigate further.

    And I thought, if you're going to rate the burger at all, it has to come out pretty much the way you order it. Like if you order black and blue and it comes out brownish and pink, it's not a specimin to rate. That's rating the restaurant, not the burger. It is the same as if you order cheddar and get mushrooms. It's not what you ordered, should be changed, and then rated. More on this to come, but I'll be away all day. Continue.

    Maybe LJC should search Molly's and Tavern on Jane?
  16. Correct. A bunch of years ago when I worked at Iridium in NYC, jazz club, shitty restaurant, asshole owners, I was doing reception during the day. The guitar player Les Paul was there every Monday night with his band. Sweet people. Anyway, some girl seemed to be calling for her boss, asked if she could make a reservation for les Paul. The french plural for Paul. I couldn't help spitting all over the phone and reservation book from laughing so suddenly. Then I felt awful for this poor thing. I did apologize.
  17. When I was at the Chinese lunch in NY several weeks ago and pronounced it HEWS-ton, no fewer than 8 voices responded in complete unison: "HOWS-ton" As one of the 8, here I write. Houston here in NY is named after a guy, somethingorother Houston. I have no idea who or what the Texas place came from. Sorry if this has already been explained. And I see that Bux has done it above.
  18. Suzanne, you're on fire today. Ear horn... strangely, I can't think of anything clever to say about an ear horn.
  19. I don't think we had Altoids when I was a kid.
  20. I have never seen this in a bathroom. Let's thank sweet Jesus for bathroom attendants.

    Good. I'm kind of glad that this Saturday will be on the small side, as the PM doesn't take reservations, and we might not be able to sit together if we're as numerous as we usually are.
  22. Yes I did, but I was looking around too. I'll print it out tomorrow. And I'll look at those other things then too.

    From Mr. Cutlets, we also have Veselka (yes, Veselka), Blue 9, Friar's Coffee Shop, and some place we don't know the name of next to the Old Homestead. Anything to say about any of them? bergerka, want to add em?
  24. Funny you said that. I was having an awful time looking aroung that coupon site. Too many words in too many places. I got scared and went away. Have you seen Schielke's Dorito thread?
  25. You make the arrangements, and I am THERE, buddy. This added to the scales, thermometers and charts, and I won't even be able to STAND the fun.
