Here’s the funny thing about that bacon:
I mentioned in the other topic that there was a small issue with the service. What had happened was that we were seated, and immediately, one of the underlings brought us water and bread and said that we’d be seen to shortly for cocktails, etc.
We got skipped, and I’m normally patient with things like that until people seated after us get served, and when that happened, I gently explained to one of the hostesses as she walked by that we’d not gotten any service beyond the bread and water, and she said she’d handle it.
Two seconds later, up popped our waitress, she offered a quick and pleasant apology, asked for our cocktail orders, and said, “Due to your wait, well of course comp those for you.”
Off she went, and about five minutes later, we were visited by the maitre d’ and he apologized some more, then sat down a double portion of “our house specialty, fried calamari, we can’t have you starving!”
It was a flippin’ mountain of it, and neither of us can eat that. I didn’t want to say anything and appear ungrateful, but MrsT doesn’t have that gene, so she pleasantly said, “That’s much appreciated, but neither of us will eat that.”
“Please, name anything else from the starters, and it will be yours!” - that’s how we ended up with the bacon, which was outstanding.
MrsT being MrsT did note to me, “The calamari was a double portion…how come this isn’t?”
