Tonite, Tazz & I dined at a restaurant that is the very definition of all things classy.
Let me set the scene for you: We roll up to the restaurant which basically looks like a giant red barn with green trim. The sign reads "Smokey Joe's BBQ: Restaurant & Road House" (WTF is a Road house?) The smell of tasty barbequed vittles wafted through the air, we stepped inside: a dingy 70's style cafeteria with picnic tables covered in green & white checkered vinyl on which to dine.
Tazz and I exchanged nervous looks but figured what the hell and walked up to order.
I got the 1/2 rack of baby back ribs & string beans. Paco, my server, presents me with a tray on which he slaps a piece of parchment paper, on top of which he chucks my ribs & the string beans SANS PLATE! In case you can't read well allow me to reiterate:<b> THEY DONT SERVE YOU WITH PLATES!!!!</b>
We get to our table, sit down & eat and then I realize I hafta take a squeege. If only I had an RNF bathroom inspection sticker (I wouldnt have wasted it in this hell hole!)When I get back from the bathroom I realize that Tazz has sampled all three BBQ flavors (Original, Spicy & Neon Radioactive Orange) We dont know what the halflife on the sauce is so who knows if he'll be alive to post tomorrow.
Anyways the place was pretty dumpy, the food was decent but over all I give it a half star (just cause I feel bad for draggin' tazz there, I have to make it seem decent, at least I got us free starbucks!)
Have any of you lucky people out there been forced to eat in such vile conditions? If so lets hear your war stories. Oh, and I pose the question to you: Does dirty restaurant = food thats more gooder?
