Catching up with T2

It's been pretty busy around the compound lately - here is a quick rundown of our lunchtime adventures as of late:

Fill It Up (My Basket of Fries)

J and I ate at Red Robin - it had been a really long time since we'd been there, but the same wait staff is still there. Our favorite is Horsetail Woman. She has the longest French braid I've ever seen, and she is quite possibly the longest Red Robin employee on the books (she's always been there, and she's a pro at what she does). J guessed that her favorite pastimes include collecting Breyer horse figurines, and scrap booking - maybe at the same time - she's that good.


Pita Pit & Frau Farbissina

It was the fastest eatery opening in the history of Southcenter. The Pita Pit opened sometime early last week to the great delight of all of us southenders dying for a happy sandwich place.

The cashier lady is the newest addition to T2's growing cast of southend characters - the way she screamed: "bringoutthe TUUN, AH!" to the guys working the line after I ordered a tuna pita, I dubbed her Frau Farbissina. I'm certain that she will provide T2 plenty of lunchtime entertainment.


T 'n A and Billy Ocean

For kicks, Lady J met me at Joey's today. I wanted to get her reaction to Southcenter's very own Coyote Ugly. We sat on the bar side to get the full effect.

As usual, the bar was filled with dudes trolling for that spare girth comment, and 80s tunes that surely make them remember their glory days when they had heads full of hair and lives filled with virility. I assume this makes them want to spend more money, but since I'm not a dude, I can only guess the affect of what T 'n A coupled with Billy Ocean and John Cougar Mellencamp does to those poor, lonely guys.

My apologies to Lady J. Next time you get to pick where we go.

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...

M. Dares Casino Food

Today, we have a special report from faithful (and intrepid) reader, M. on the Riverside Casino: Today I rolled the dice and had lunch at the Riverside Casino. Thai Curry Chicken Fried Rice was highly recommended to me by someone....that I can only assume doesn't eat out much. I mean the guy raved about this dinner and I just don't get the hub-bub. But they do have pad t hai and I'm a sucker for pad t hai so I might actually venture back one day. Their parking lot is packed lunch & dinner hours and I mean PACKED! I don't feel I have solved the mystery is it food or the card games? On a positive note, the service was fast. You will not get a seat at the Baccarat table - that area is non-stop action from open to close, but the restaurant portion has plenty of open tables if you go before 1pm. The place is open 24/7 and serves breakfast, lunch or dinner anytime. No website. The place does not smell like smoke - it had a recent remodel and is decent. And I have easil...
