RJ Grunts, many times. Being a cheapskate, "the meal-in-itself salad bar" seemed like such a deal that it took me years to realize that, given the respective prices, I could essentially get an awesome sandwich for about $3, if I was ordering the salad bar, anyway. Of course, if I did that, I couldn't eat nearly as much salad stuff. Such a dilemma for a fellow schmendrick!<br /><br />"...their menus, which are goofy in a Grateful Dead meets Robert Crumb cartoonish fashion." Fine description.

And if I ever open a restaurant I think Wildwife could be an interesting name.Connellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18406704590565406630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-85046634571579968192021-06-09T09:08:27.681-05:002021-06-09T09:08:27.681-05:00If it's any consolation, I missed "Wildwi...If it's any consolation, I missed "Wildwife" too. What leapt out at me was "schmendrick," which I know will come in handy someday soon when speaking of myself.<br /><br />johntatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10088632798195131329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-87315168261357435872021-06-09T06:14:49.217-05:002021-06-09T06:14:49.217-05:00I wish there were a way to convey how unfunny typo...I wish there were a way to convey how unfunny typos are. They're embarrassing, and represent both human error and overtaxed editing.
