To celebrate we drove around town, listened to cheesy techno music and stopped at the grocery store to a pint of Ben and Jerry’s.

A bottle of locally made red wine and a pint of Chubby Hubby later we were dancing in my living room. Dancing quickly became jumping and jumping turned into phonebook surfing.

What, you ask, is phonebook surfing? It’s when you put on music really loud and with bellies full of ice cream, you place a phone book in the middle of the room and run and jump on the phone book to slide across the carpet.

It was pure entertainment for 15 minutes until the phone rang.

I recognized my landlords number, turned down the music and acted as cool as possible. “Hellllo?”

“What’s going on down there?” He asked.

“Oh, are we being too loud?” Giggle, giggle… whispers of “be cool, be cool, just act cool.”

“Yeah, you are being a bit too loud down there.”

“Okay, sorry about that. I’ll stop. Have a goodnight Bill.”

The Final Dish: Phonebook dancing + Ben and Jerry’s + a bottle of red wine + a great friend = a guaranteed good time. Maybe too good a time.

Comment Guidelines
Be Respectful. Do you kiss your mother with that mouth?

Although the old saying, "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all," is swell, we encourage constructive feedback (ie, be polite), and recommend backing-up your comments with evidence/witnesses.

Be Honest. Look where it got Abe Lincoln. Well, before the evening at the theater.

We don't recommend complaining just for the sake of it (see number 1), but if you have a legitimate comment, it should be shared. Also, don't hesitate to disagree with other comments, even if your opinion is in the minority. If patrons aren't honest about their experiences, restaurants won't know that there is room for improvement. And there always is.

Be Specific. "The food was good" doesn't cut it.

Each dining experience is unique, so if a dining experience moves you in any way, by all means, share the details. Choose the sensory details that impacted your experience the most and describe them in your postings. Other foodies will gobble it up—literally.

Be Concise. 'Nuf said.

What? We thought it was pretty clear the first time.

Be Helpful. Sort of like how the elves and reindeer help Santa.

Will what you have to say improve the restaurant's ability to provide impeccable service and improve the dining experience for others (again, see number 1)? If so... help away.

Show a Little Pride. No Jane or John Does please.

If you are too embarrassed to put your name as the commenter, you probably should re-evaluate your comments (you know the drill... see number 1). If you have sensitive information that you feel needs to be passed along, please use your best judgment and e-mail it to us to avoid public posting. We don't want you to have any post-post regrets.

Don't Name Names. Let's not get too personal here.

We know you want to share your experiences, both good and bad, but this isn't the place to publicly condemn or praise individual people. Feel free to comment on "the service", "the chef", or "the staff", but any positive or negative mention of specific names will be moderated.
