9 Meals at Pat and Oscars

 

Pat and Oscar, let’s cut to the chase.  Your food sucks. 

 For 80 bucks you can order some chicken, salad, some bread sticks and some pasta, right?   Let me do the math …ok, so it probably cost you 16.53 to make the meal.  Hmm, what did you use the $63.47 on???  You probably use it on customer service trainings that no one ever pays attention to.  

 Well, on behalf of the MP (my place of work) I would like to thank you for blaming us for “forgetting” to take our salad with us.  We apologize for not taking the initiative to dig through YOUR refrigerator to find it.  Also, thanks for the chalky chicken and the sour pasta.  

Most importantly, thank you for the stomachache, the garlic breath, and the empty spot in my wallet that used to hold the $8.00 I contributed to this “b-day group lunch”. 

Woops, almost forgot, the extra $20.00 can be used for a small b-day cake and a 12 pack of Coke. 

$100 Dollars goes a long way.  Enjoy your awkward, silent b-day lunch!

14 Whatameals

They say you can’t judge a book by it’s cover. They also say you also can’t judge a food establishment by its orange striped roofing!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Of course, by “they” I mean I, and by “food establishment” I mean Whataburger!

I saw a bunch of restaurants that looked a little like this when I was in San Antonio visiting my sister. It was the overall look of the restaurant that reeled me in- the orange stripes looked so cheesy but strangely inviting. And the name, “Whataburger.” I just had to try it out for myself to see if I would be muttering those words in a creepy but satisfied sounding way (does that even exist?) as I ate. Unfortunately, no words of the sort were even spoken.

I just got acquainted with this burger joint no less than three hours ago and let me tell you, Whataripoff! Combo meals were priced at a hefty $6-7 for an entree, fries, and a drink. My family and I ordered the Whataburger meal and the Chicken strip meal, each sitting under $6.50. $6.60! For a combo? Restaurants charge that much for burger meals! I thought this was a fast food joint? You could get three items anywhere else for three bucks! Whatamistake on our part. Our only plus for the day: Whataburger’s fried apple pies. For $1.22, you can enjoy flaky, fried apple goodness over and over again! Just don’t forget to let the pie cool down first otherwise you’ll end up with a burnt tounge and a half eaten pie that you won’t want to touch anymore.

In reflection of this whole, “Whataburger Experience,” we can at least we got the Whataburger curiosity out of our system. Now we know what a Whataburger tastes like! So thanks, but no thanks Whataburger. We’ll see you around.
