Return of The Fat Girl

Today B discovered that no Simply Thai is safe - no matter which one he dines at, he will likely be served by his most hated waitress, The Fat Girl.

The Fat Girl, as he refers to her, is a chubby, ill-tempered waitress who works at Simply Thai. She would rather spit in your face than bring you a refill on your iced tea. B dislikes her so much that for the past two years we've had to eat at the echoey, hot-box Simply Thai near the mattress store rather than the cushy, Simply Thai with booths.

Today, when B, The Chef and I walked into the hot-box Simply Thai, B spotted the Fat Girl from across the room, and we had to stop him from walking back out again. He reasoned that since she was behind the register, she had finally received that long-deserved demotion and wouldn't be serving us, but 5 minutes after we had sat down, here she comes - all scowling and round.

I thought for certain there was going to be a scene, and we would never be able to eat at Simply Thai again, but surprisingly, B and she were civil toward one another. There were no dramatics, no dirty looks, nothing - just flat customer service and one aloof customer.

Food: 4/5 (even with ill-tempered staff, Simply Thai is one of the best Thai places in Seattle)
Atmosphere: 1/5 (minus 2 points for each awkward moment)
Good times: 5/5 (The Chef always makes everything better)

The Jack Shack

We've all been either too busy or too lazy to write about our lunchtime adventures, but know this - we have had lunches - some were fabulous, others were sadly disappointing (Mali Thai) and at least one was down-right scandalous (Joey's). So to make up for the long absence, I'll thrill you with our adventure to: Joeys (their apostrophe is missing, not mine)... Even though I was warned , I had to see it for myself. Joey's is Cowboy Ugly and the Pussy Cat Dolls Lounge all rolled into one, great-big southend jack shack. To get the full effect, we sat in the bar where all the waitresses are 1. Former female strippers, 2. Current female strippers, and 3. Really know how to sex up an entree so you'll want to buy it. At first, I was overcome with the smart, sleek interior design. I felt like I was at The Parker in Palm Springs . The architecture is open and modern, the colors hip, and the booths are sleek. I was so busy ogling the fabulous design that I didn't even s...

(New Feature!) J Tries Something Different

After an extended absence which involved first graduating, then spending a couple of months doing nothing that required thinking, J makes his triumphant return to Tummy Tukwila. Endlessly attending University of Washington has resulted in many routines that he is now trying to break. One of these routines is always ordering the same thing at restaurants. From now until 2010, J will select something he has never or rarely eaten at the T2 gang's familiar haunts, and review his experiences. August 4 Familiar Haunt: Joeys [sic] J's Routine: Better Beef Dip with Skinny Fries The T2 crew was joined for lunch today by frequent guest star Power Womon as they headed to Joeys for a healthy dose of T&A (that's "tasty" and "appetizing," pervert) vittles. At first, everyone tried something different--Joeys had a bland, unappealing male host instead of Paris Hilton, and the crew sat in the actual restaurant instead of the bar, an experience not unlike attending th...
