NewMexiKen had a poor experience in a Taos restaurant Saturday night. Bottom line, the cook had an “emergency wedding” to attend and the replacement wasn’t up to the task.
The replacement appeared to be a serial cook — the orders came out one at a time with every indication the next table’s entree was started when the previous table’s dinner was served. (We waited more than an hour after ordering.)
And let’s just say, that even after the wait, things weren’t cooked to order.
It was an otherwise fine restaurant (other than the food Mrs. Lincoln … ), not at all like those described below, but it reminded me of my list, published here before, of the top ten reasons to judge a restaurant unsuitable for a pleasant night out:
10. You pay before you eat
9. You pay after you eat, but you stand in line and pay a cashier
8. More men eating with caps on than those without caps
7. The piped-in-music is louder than the TVs
6. Soup served with soup spoon already in soup
5. They fill the condiments while you’re at the table
4. Menu includes photos of the food
3. Menu includes samples of the food stuck to pages
2. They wipe your table with a wet rag
And the number one reason to chose another restaurant if you want to impress your date or customer:
They wipe the seats of the chairs with the same rag
