Concept Restaurant Explorer Pillows

"Have you folks eaten here before, or shall I explain the concept?"

"This place is one of New York's best-kept secrets."

"And which regional cuisine would you be interested in this evening—Northwester, Southwestern, Southeastern, or Northeastern?"

'‘Because I said so' or ‘Just wait until you have kids of your own' section?'

Careful, the plate's probably still hot.

'We can order Lebanese, Thai, Italian, Indian, Greek or Chinese...'

"Compliments to the chef! Pass it on."

Your lobster was off!

"I come here for the pepper."

'I think I'll go home and eat'

'No, I'm not the sommelier; in fact, I don't even work here - I've just always wanted to try this wine.'

"How would you like your steak sir—really well done or raw? We've got a new chef."

"The after-dinner mint is the boss's idea. I think it's superfluous."

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

Haute Chinese

Pick Your Own Baby Lamb Chop

Platter confusion.

Bottomless bowl of soup

'Michelin stars? I don't think we have any, but one of the tires on the catering truck might be.'

Ethnic food springing out of a menu.

Man with a 'menu', woman with a 'womenu'.

'I wanted somewhere like England, but in Spain.'

'Heads it's mortgage payment, tails it's 1st growth Bordeaux.'

"Ooh, that looks delicious! Does it photograph well?"

"More croutons, sir?"

'I have a bad feeling about this place, Watson... and I smell a rat!'

"If you find a shiny lure in your fish dinner, the chef would like it back. He needs to catch more fish for dinner."

"Seat yourself. Grab a menu. Take any table. Hey, you know how to cook?"

'listen - it's haute cuisine, coming up the river from New Orleans.'

'Who orderes the roasted chicken plate and who ordered the soup?'

"You were right-we should have just split one."

"Have you had a chance to look at the menu?"

"Our Fettuccine is eaten with spoon and fork. Angle Hair gets a comb and scissors."

'I'm afraid the Chef's Surprise today is that he ran off with one of the waitresses.'

"Yum! I should have ordered dessert, too—can I try yours?"
