Totally agree, Syd. When I was a teen back in the 1980s, if I didn't "check in" with my air force Dad, he'd have called the restaurant to see if I was still there. (That was way back before cell phones!) And heaven forbid if my date parked us in the driveway for longer than 5 minutes! But that's another story...
Plus, I can never recall waiting more than 15 minutes for a table, thanks to dad. If the hostess didn't know how long the wait was, or if it went past 15 minutes, he was right there politely asking her what the problem was. No response - no customers. We'd leave and offer to return when it was less busy.
I still think the kids got riffed, big time. TCF dropped the ball.
Hahahaha!! (Of course, if I had said it, people would be calling me names...)
You said it, honey.
Oh, Docmo - I think I love you! That's how you eat oysters...
Thanks, Team 11-11. I'm looking forward to trying out your place when it opens.
PS - Will you offer charcoaled oysters a la Drago's in NOLA? ;-)
