Shopping today, I got pretty hungry and went to a Mexican Restaurant. I try to avoid chain restaurants and go to local places. This one opened not too far from my house about 5 years ago and I’ve been there a few times.
4:00 is kinda between times and I was the only customer in the place. The two wait staff were at the bar and looked at each other as I came in. After a couple of indecipherable mutterings, the woman said “Let’s flip a coin”. After the flip, the guy came over to my table. “Oh, I feel good about this”, I said. “You should”, said the woman with somewhat less than convincing enthusiasm, “He won the flip.”
I asked about what beers they sell and the guy pointed at the menu where there were two columns. One had a list of mass-produced water with quasi-beerish flavoring added and with recognizable American “brewery” names. The other was populated with Mexican beers at “imported” prices and Sam Adams. “I’ll take the Sam Adams”, I said and he said “We’re out of that. Really, that’s the only beer we’re out of”. So I went with Dos Equis Lager which was somewhat interesting and which I nursed until I finished my Steak Fajitas.
