God Bless the Pastry Chefs

[jsolomon]

I just had the funniest conversation of the year today. I'm still trying to get over it. It occurred with two pastry chefs at a local bakery.

Here is the situation: I am getting married later this year. I'm catering most of the reception myself, but I don't have time to do the bread-baking, so I'm simply subbing that out to a local bakery. No problem, right?

I dial the phone to Bakery X (name deleted to protect the teched)

BakeryX Employee 1: Hello, Bakery X, may I help you?

Me: Yes. Do you take special orders?

Employee 1: Yes, we do. What are you interested in?

Me: I'd like about 14-dozen potato rolls.

Employee 1: I'm not familiar with those. Let me hand you over to our pastry guy.

Pastry Guy: Hello? May I help you?

Me: Hi, I'm getting married, and I'd like to know if you can supply 14-dozen potato rolls for my reception dinner.

Pastry Guy: I'm not sure I'm familiar with that. I'll ask our general manager. What's a potato?

Funniest conversation this year. God bless the pastry chefs.
