"The menu just says fried fish, but may I give you a more compelling, surprisingly lyrical description?"

'Sparky, fetch me an impudent little chardonnay.'

"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."

'This might be the common ground we've been looking for.'

'Sorry sir, we've run out of parmesan cheese.'

"Will you have a Sphinx?"

"I've never heard of it, either, but nothing ventured, nothing gained, I always say!"

'I think I'll go home and eat'

"Waiter, there's a weapon of mass destruction in my soup!"

"Hmmm... low ash content. Smells like someone switched to canola oil... wait, is that tripe I smell?"

Jeff soon discovered his mistake in ordering the one ton soup.
