Menu, Please

From the tips and tricks department:

I recently encountered a situation where a restaurant that I had been to many a times previously, suddenly and without warning, changed it's whole menu. What's up with that? And their business was good, so I don't see the rationale for the shift.

You know how it is in a place that you frequent. You've already experimented over the course of a few years on what works and what doesn't. You have your set lineup, in which there are quality backups, and of course a robust first team.

So now they hand me a menu with what appears to be rocket ships and so many fancy colors I would need 3-D glasses just to make out what's going on. Obviously the person in charge either stopped taking their medication or spilled their management skills down the drain.

After glancing over the menu with the assortment of "new" items, I asked the waiter if I could order my old favorites from the previous menu and he said "Yes."

Whew! Good thing I have those memorized.

As long as they didn't change the cocktails menu, I'm okay with that.

But if they start selling amphibians, then I can settle with the classics : McDonalds or KFC!

At least they had your favorites!

I'm with KMM. If they mess with the cocktails, then it's all over.
