Vacation...all I ever wanted...





I'm off for a week and I ain't doing shit. Sometimes it is good just to sit back and catch up with everything around you. Yes, I know its great to go on a vacation away from home, but when you get back and have to go straight back to work, don't you wish you could take a vacation from that vacation?

No such thing this week for the Mad Chef of M Street. I , well, ain't doing shit. Well, except for going to Vegas Thursday to Saturday or Sunday. Can't remember which ones, the Mrs. booked for us. I will be visiting friends in high places in the Wynn Hotel & Casino, dining at all those places we only read about over here because I have a few friends that are chefs out there. I fully expect to see food I just don't get to play with over here, otherwise I will be disappointed!

Oh yeah, since I didn't post many other stories about Restaurant Week, I will tell you that we did have a customer come in saying that they were allergic to Caesar dressing...so they wanted the house salad instead. Ummm, OK. Or how about the 2 people that wanted to split their menu for 35.08 and one person ended up complaining about their half of the entree. The final tab came out to 22.08 and they wanted it on 2 separate credit cards, leaving a 50 cent tip on each receipt. This is not the first story I told about 1 dollar tips, right Bob??.

Peace out people, I will write again before I leave to go test my luck at the black jack tables!!! And The Brain will post something unfunny this week, I'm sure.
