...the onion rings

"Stephen and I are today's special."

'I'll have the crab cake, and he'll have the crabby cake.'

"You'll love this. It's swarthy yet munificent, didactic and gregarious with hints of dogma."

"The chef is going to need more than just your ‘compliments’ tonight … he’s in one of his moods."

'Why, of course I remember our first date -- I had filet mignon, potatoes au gratin, sauteed....'

"Tonight, perhaps Mrs. Lewis would prefer this quiet little table for two from which to send back her entrée?"

'Waiter...my entrée fell over.'

"Can I tell you about a few items that aren't on the menu?"

'The braised toucan was fine...although I found the bill a little large.'

'It feels warm enough to me.'

"We make substitutions within reason, Madame. We can give you courgettes instead of the aubergine, but we cannot provide Jean-Louis Trintignant in place of your husband."

'I don't have enough money for a tip, but feel free to eat the leftovers!'

"Who ordered the moose en croute?"

'A HAMBURGER?.. really?.. I took you for the WEENIE type!'

"You and your daft inventions."

'Oops! It's usually the devil to get any to come out!'
