Preface: Todd thinks I pick the worst restaurants and worst movies ever. Sometimes he is correct.
So last night I told Todd he could pick wherever he wanted to eat because he was hungriest and grouchiest. He suggested Golden Corral. Oh, try again my friend. So after way too much time looking into places nearby, he told me to pick between two and I picked a place we hadn't tried yet.
It was a tavern. I get that tavern means bar, bar means bar food, and bar food is bad. My appetizer plate had a quarter-sized wad of gum stuck right on the top. And the waitress didn't even notice! Should have left then and there. Then the appetizer wasn't good. Todd's DP was flat and watered down. (Really, how do you mess up DP?) The chicken tasted like 3-day old, re-heated rubber--it was maybe the worst chicken ever, including Pinterest fails. And the BBQ sauce was so gross I literally could not eat it without thinking I might throw up. We paid way too much for half-eaten, horrible food. And, extra bonus, we both got sick from it!
The. Worst.
Meanwhile, the "cold" weather post-Sandy scared us indoors. All those warm layers are just way too much effort. (How did I survive Chicago?) During this little pre-Winter spell we've watched every episode of "Revenge"-- we have no answers for why we watch this horrible show with horrible acting and a horrible plot. In not-horrible TV news, I've devoured 2.5 seasons of "Parenthood,"which is some of the best TV ever.
Today was lovely and sunny and in the 70s again. We went back to Umstead Park for a little nature walk to see the leaves (still turning) and stopped by the international market for some Guarana--the only two gringos in the tienda got some weird looks. Worth it: we needed a guaranteed good treat after last night. The worst.

I love Parenthood!
And sorry about the worst food ever. Did I ever tell you when we stopped in RI on our way back from Cape Cod while we were in CT I let Dustin pick where to eat for lunch. The place had great reviews on urban spoon so we sat go and get seated and take a look around. All old people and the menu didn't look appealing and I'm pretty sure the mob ran their business there. We got up and Dustin mumbles something about not realizing it was a sit down place and left. It was awkward. But then we had the best tex mex food right near Brown University.
Love Parenthood. Just watched a recent episode and tears were literally streaming down my face.
That's so funny because we just started both Revenge and Parenthood too! What's even better is that I'm always telling Jon that you look like Emily Thorn (I think she is pretty by the way!) in Revenge!
I'm sorry I know I shouldn't laugh at your expense but this post was hilarious! I'm so sorry about the terrible food, terrible, service, and the terrible stomach ache that followed... but I laughed through the whole thing! You're the best!
