Fine Dining

The woman is finally seated. It’s a popular restaurant so she knew there’d be a wait. It’s known for serving only local products and preparing food using the traditional methods. In fact, she overheard someone a table over ask for an international beer and in response, the waitress scoffed as though insulted to her core.

“That is not from here, we do not have it. I will bring you something better.”

If you wanted an authentic experience, you dine here.

And so she sat, anticipation quickly bubbling up and drowning any angst that comes with waiting for a spot that may never open up. She browses the menu, the version that’s been begrudgingly translated. After hearing the waiter’s recommendations, she selects her entrée.

Waiter: Salad? Potato?

Woman: Yes please.

Waiter: Salad or potato?

Woman: Which do you recommend?

Waiter: Potato salad.
