We are slowly getting settled in. I won't bore you with details, but it has not been a stress free move nor an easy one...
I am making a few changes to my blog - not only will I talk about my crafting and the happenings of a stay at home mom, but I will be sharing recipes and reviewing local restaurants and activities.
To that end, I'd like to talk about my lunch experience today. I thought it would be nice to have a lunch date with my son. We discussed options, and he decided he wanted Winstead's. They have been around since 1940, and have your typical diner fare.
First of all, they seemed awfully shorthanded. We were brought water, and then we waited for a bit. Colin ordered the grilled cheese sandwich with a side of fries. I ordered the BLT without the cheese. Colin and I chatted about some stuff while I looked around, and hoped he didn't hear all the foul language coming from lawyers at the next table... I spied some fries on the counter - pushed out of the way and forgotten. Soon I saw our sandwiches up there, but no fries. The waitresses kept reaching up over the fries - a couple of times they almost had fries in their armpits! ewwww! In the meantime, a BLT was sent back for not holding the mayo, and a burger was sent back for having cheese... I knew in my gut that this lunch was not going to end well...
So, we finally got our food that had been sitting up there for at least 10 minutes. And guess what fries we got! Yep, the armpit fries!!! eek! I promptly sent them back,and peeked in my sandwich. I had cheese. I opted to scrape it off vs. sending it back, but I did let the waitress know. I personally think it was the kitchen's fault - as it appeared that only one person and the manager were working back there - but the waitress said it was her fault. We ended up getting the fries and BLT of our bill, leaving only the grilled cheese. It was a nice gesture, but I'm not really sure we'll be going back in the near future. There are too many other places around here to eat to have to deal with that.
On the bright side, Colin loved his grilled cheese! And other than being heavy on the mayo and the tomatoes not tasting quite right, mine was ok. The bacon was super crispy, just how I like it. I tasted Colin's new fries and they were pretty tasty. Not greasy and not over salted.
Well, there's my first KC post and first review. I have another review in mind of someplace we went recently - Genghis Khan Mongolian Barbeque. I want to compare it to my favorite Mongolian bbq in Manhattan Beach, CA, Big Wok.
