Had a quick work session with Kevin - we went to Hugo's at 12:15 and it was an hour wait. I will now never set foot in that restaurant again. We went to CPK and it was empty. Normally, CPK is full. Go know. It seems that the "hip" factor has now moved over to Hugo's. Can't go to ANY other restaurant. Of course, what these people are doing there at 12:15 is anyone's guess.
You chose a NATIONAL CHAIN restaurant over something local? Talk about horseracing.
Given the choice, der Brucer and I will always go local over chain. Of course, our breakfast choice (after a puppy-sitting visit with Tinker, Magic Mommy's rat terrier, who has been locked in their trailer while they went down to Ocean City) was between the Crystal Cafe, very local and highly loved, and the local IHOP. Just the thought of the chain breakfast option is nausiating.
Me? I had the shrimp and crabmeat omlette with home fried taters, and a nice cup of grits. Der Brucer had eggs over easy, scrapple, and an equally nice cup of grits. Try finding
that at IHOP.
Very pleasurable.
