A trip into bizzaro world

[Mark Sommelier]

...and to keep this food related, Apu 'chiliing his loins' in the Quickee Mart ice cream freezer when trying to impregnate Manjula.

this thread = hilarious.

a) i have never been to said restaurant, but the "Alice in Wonderland quality" reminds me of a bar across the street from me. i went in for a beer one friday eve, and there were 6-8 Hasidic (sp?) rabbis standing around watching a big-screen tv football game on the sabbath!

b) i have also never eaten at an IKEA, but i have multiple friends who insist that the meatballs with lingonberry sauce are the best. and who make it a "destination restaurant" for those meatballs.

c) The Simpsons is hands down the best show on tv, IMHO. every time Matt Groening renews the contract, i silently thank heaven.

...and to keep this food-related, remember the "sacrilicious" pancake (is it a pancake?) in the fridge, that (doh!) Homer eats?

The episode where the Simpsons go to a new restaurant with a 50's theme. The first thing on the menu:

POLIO BURGERS

HK Dave-

Did you know Keg and Gotham are owned by the same guy (along with Hyatts)? Total stranglehold!

[HKDave]

annanstee, did you say Hyatts? I think you mean Hy's. ...

Yes, I know all have the same boss now - his name is David Aisenstat, and his Dad was Hy Aisenstat (as in Hy's Restaurant). I saw a great quote from him once. Someone asking him what key mistake people make when opening new restaurants, and he replied 'serving something other than steak'.
