On M's suggestion, B and I went to ACME Bowl for lunch today. I had the veggie burger, and B had the Chipotle burger, both were above average for bowling alley fare, and the service was good, but slow. I suspected that our waiter was also the cook, since he would disappear for periods of time into the kitchen, and come out later with trays of food.While the restaurant was slow (there were only two other tables besides us), the alley was busy with lots of teenagers, single ladies, and divorced fathers with their kids.
There was one family whose mother and father were both such bad bowlers that their three sons, ages 8 - 5 were wiping the alleys with them. One final score was Mom: 60, little Johnny: 75. All I kept thinking was - how embarrassing to be so bad at a sport that even a child is better than you. I mean, even though I myself bowl a 65, at least I don't have some toddler hanging around trying to showing me up!
Anyway - it was a fun adventure, and outside the norm. B and I have decided to dedicate at least one day a week to trying something new, so stay tuned.
Food: 3/5 (minus a point for and over-cooked veggie patty)
Atmosphere: 5/5 (major points for entertainment)
Good times: 4/5 (next time, we'll have to bowl a frame)
