The look of panic on his face when the young woman he was with started interrogating the both of us about who he was with the last time the was there.

More than two decades ago and this incident has stuck with me.

Son! Back in the day, when I was a Cheesecake Factory host I blew up some guy’s spot horribly. I’m sure I ruined his night/weekend/month.

This is something franchise restaurants don’t factor in when they train employees to “welcome back returning guests.”

What really gets lost in all the talk of Joe Camel being a bad role model for kids is that, as bad as a role model as he was, he was an even worse driver.

I’m with you chocolate ice cream is incredibly pedestrian. That said…Jeni’s Milkiest Chocolate is outstanding. Not only the best chocolate ice cream, but chocolate ice cream that is worth eating.

Sequel! Or update? How about ranking the Billboard Top 10 songs during your likely window of conception?
