An entertaining food blog with restaurant dining disaster stories
Not long ago I went to a restaurant to celebrate Oktoberfest with my boyfriend and a friend. We ordered few beers and some appetizers. Fifteen long minutes later we received our drinks, and it took an additional half hour for the food. Apparently there are two calamari dishes, the appetizer and a sandwich. We thought […]

My father wanted to have lunch for the purpose of making an important announcement, he had decided to remarry, and so we went to a restaurant near my sister’s home. It was a nice enough looking place, I’d describe it as a step up from the “flare” type of eatery, and since it was lunch […]

In 2007, 500 people set the Guiness world record for the largest underwater formal dinner party. The 3 course meal was served in a swimming pool in Acton, England. More than likely the dinner conversation was kept to a minimum. Hopefully the taste of the wine shown being poured in the video below wasn’t affected […]

Hey Dev, I like my steak prepared medium-well. All too often, however, I receive it overcooked and dry. I hate to go through the trouble of ordering it undercooked and rare. What do you suggest? – Chad Where I live, everything is on the crispy side, if you know what I mean. Personally, I’m a […]

My wife and I were on vacation in the Caribbean. We were eating in a nice restaurant by the beach, enjoying a leisurely dinner. For reasons I can’t remember, we got into an argument and she ended up leaving the restaurant. Unfortunately, I had left my wallet in my hotel room and therefore had no […]
