Rich & Donna's Top 11 Rules for Fine Dining
Like most people we like to eat out from time to
time but we also like really casual, unpretentious places. Over
the years we've developed a list of rules for choosing a place to
eat. Therefore, with apologies to Letterman and Jeff
Foxworthy: A restaurant
might be too fancy for us if...
11: The water glasses
have stems
10: The table has an
actual tablecloth (a laminated table top with a red and white
checkerboard pattern is best)
9: The napkins are made
from cloth
8: The restrooms are
labeled 'Gentlemen' and 'Ladies' instead of silhouettes of a man and woman.
7: The menus do not have
pictures of the food
6: The ketchup (not
catsup) and mustard are not in plastic squeeze bottles
5: There is no chalkboard
by the entrance listing the Daily Specials
4: The word 'Restaurant'
is spelled with an 'e" at the end.
3:: Something other than
country music is playing over the speaker system
2: There is no sign on
the door saying 'No Shoes, No Shirt, No Service'
And the most important rule:
A restaurant is way too fancy for
us if ...the wait staff is dressed better than us.
