My all time new favorite thing is when people call to make a reservation and then tell me what’s available.

Hi. I’d like to make a reservation for Wednesday night. You have a 7:15 available according to Resy.

So if you know what’s available, why didn’t you just make it online. It would have saved us all time.

Or.

Hi. I’d like to make a reservation for Wednesday. For 8 people. Perhaps you could put us in one of the private rooms.

Yes I could.

And I will.

Because it’s the only place 8 people will fit. If you want to sit together.

I do appreciate that people want to come eat with us. It’s just funny being on the phone with people sometimes.

PS. On the opposite side of things. I love when people tell me what bar stool they prefer.

One side looks at the kitchen.

The other TV’s.

It’s so much easier to organize before the night starts. Instead of in the middle of a busy shift.

Kristen likes seats 9 and 10.

The Smith’s like 13 and 14.

The Jones’s don’t care as long as the face the kitchen.

Perhaps there is no making me happy.

We were quiet tonight.

Never slow. I’ve always believed that the word slow breeds complacency. Always quiet.

We were quiet.

Two restaurants in town reopened for the season.

It was chilly today, but the sun certainly indicated spring is on the way.

And many people were invested in the final four.

So because of the quiet, I took a few minutes before the second turn to look through next week’s reservations.

Two stood out.

The first a man who’d made a reservation for his wife’s birthday.

No big deal.

Except he insisted we call him to discuss what we do for special events.

I’m not sure what he’s expecting. We offer dessert. And a candle.

A birthday is not a special event. Especially for two people.

The second request was more interesting.

Woman left the following note:

Carnivore way of eating. Animal products only. No sugar, no sauces, no plants. Limited spices “ok” but just salt is perfect. Thank you. I am hoping to be able to order ala carte, animal products only. Let’s be honest, I am coming for the BEEF! We are looking forward to it!

Hmmmm.

I love meat!

A lot.

But I can’t imagine how unhealthy a completely meat centric diet would be.

My gout would explode.

My cholesterol would sore.

Can’t imagine how my stomach would react.

Tune in on Wednesday when I report back in.

Meanwhile.

I’m glad tomorrow is my Friday.

Ready for some R & R.
