Who's ate at...? (first ever rfc revolving restaurant review poll)

OK... here's how to play....

A member names a restaurant they've visited, maybe including the name,
location, what they had (have) and some "had better/had worse" review of some
type. The membership can reply only if they've been there too, closing the
reply by asking the same question of another restaurant THEY'VE been to.

This thread should no doubt splinter into a million sub threads in no time if
played right.

I'll start,..

Who's been to:
Pat's Cheesesteaks, Philadelphia, PA
Had a cheesesteak w/American cheese and fried onions.
Had much better!

I think no takers. You'll have to try again. If three
tries and nobody's been to any, you're skunked.

==============================
OK - I'll start.

"Al's Breakfast" in Mpls/StPaul (can't remember which)
Barb?????????????????
I ate a half an order of eggs Benedict (one egg. half a muffin,
Canadian bacon and scratch Hollandaise with fresh asparagus) and a
"Wally Bue" pancake: tender, moist buttermilk batter with fresh
blueberries and toasted walnuts.

Best breakfast I ever ate in my life.

Lynn in Fargo
Barb had an omelet with asparagus and Hollandaise.

Lynn in Fargo...

Wait, you didn't RTFM!

I began the game at Pat's Steaks. You had to have been there to continue
that restaurant in game.

So you'd answer...

Pat's Steaks, yep, been there.
Had a cheesesteak with mushrooms and cheez-whiz.
I've had worse.

Have you been to: Al's Breakfast" in Mpls/StPaul?

Being Player #3, Al's Breakfast is now a place in the game to continue
from.

NOW, Barb could reply, I've been to Al's, etc. and close, offering up a
restaurant she's been to, etc., etc.

Also to clarify the rules, anyone at anytime during the game can also claim
"I've been there" to any posted restaurant and again close with their "Have
you been to... [my visited restaurant]".

Best,

Andy
Player #2

Membership,

I see a couple glitches with "Who's ate at...". One, being there shouldn't
be any player #s. Too troublesome! It shouldn't actually be a game! Two, I
can't imagine how such a splintered thread could be conveniently observed
by the members on a Usenet delivery basis.

Impossible?

Any ideas?

Best,

Andy

What was I thinking.

www.Yelp.com is a mushrooming resource you can carry around in your pocket.

Somplace anywhere, want to see a movie, it'll fetch the theaters around you,
show you the films and times and GPS direct you there.

Same for restaurants. Need French Thai when you're in El Paso, TX, it'll
probably get you there.

The cell phone (iPhone, here) is so indispensable. I don't see the point in
furthering the game. It wouldn't serve the wandering masses!

[Game closed]

Have you ever ate roadkill? :-)

Another good reason to kf gmail, along with three responses int he
thread on teaching kids to cook, all quoting the previous post and
without anything added, and all gmailers.

Deer vs. Car.

BTW, that didn't include me low-siding my motorcycle when the front wheel's
contact patch hit a flat aluminum can and WHAM!!! I was slammed into the
road. My head hit first. If it hadn't been for my helmet, I'd be dead.
Instead I got up with a few knee scraps, raised the motorcycle and rode
home.

And BTW, I listen to local radio frequencies and when there's roadkill of
any kind, if you call the game commission, upon their approval, it's yours
for the taking.

Ex & Ex sis-in-law pulled my leg, while leaving Margate, New Jersey after a
weekend stay, driving the back bay swamplands (heading back to
Pennsylvania) there were countless roadkill turtles. They told me that the
Bookbinder's (famous Philly fish cuisine) restaurant trucks would scrape
them up off the road and turn them into their snapper (turtle) soup, which
I'd tried and enjoyed. I protested in disbelief! They couldn't hold it in
too long before they both burst out laughing!

Minneapolis, but right on the St. Paul border. It's in Dinkytown,
which abuts the U of Minn. Barb and I squeezed ourselves in there one
morning and, lo and behold! Barb's jam was sitting on the shelf in the
kitchen area. I still have the picture of Barb and the staff with a
jar of that jam someplace around here.

You could about throw a rock and hit the DH's family homestead from
Al's - their place is right below the "witch's hat" in Prospect Park.

>Best breakfast I ever ate in my life.

Pro'lly b/c the joint only seats a dozen or so customers and by the
time you're seated, you'd eat sofa cushions and think they're tasty!

We ordered eggs benedict there and watched one of the cooks
make Hollandaise from scratch for our order. It was pretty
impressive. Good coffee, too. While we waited, Barb ran back
to the car for supplies and handed out crackers with her jam
spread on them to the customers.

It was a hoot.

Minneapolis. :-) Dinkytown, the 'college' residential/retail area
adjacent to the NW edge of the main campus in Minneapolis. I
understand that you can send a letter addressed to "Al's, Dinkytown,
USA" and it will arrive there. :-)

I'm glad you remember, because I didn't. :-o) I usually have the
Eggs Benny because Grinna makes the hollandaise from scratch and it is
quite delicious. The Wally Blues are outstanding, too.
