- Mike ordered the Lamb Kabob.
- Jeff went off the rails and ordered a Cobb Salad. He was eating lighter because he had demolished all of Joe’s Ahi Tuna Wontons earlier in the evening…. DELICIOUS!
- We also ordered some lighter, summer beers to accompany the meal. Krunkin’ in the afternoon. Yes, Jeff had the Blueberry!
- And we were honored to get a pop-in from Rob Mondavi of Folio Wines. He stopped by to taste Jeff’s beer and talk about wine, conversation and friends. Look for Mike and Jeff in Napa, California SOON!
Conversation Topics
- Restaurants and Technology- How the places we go to most are doing things right – and wrong – when it comes to using technology. Reaching out to customers is just the tip of the iceberg, how about ordering via iPad or taking a satisfaction survey on an iPod Touch? Having a Twitter account is far different from using that account to engage customers. And what about Textaurant and other firms that are giving customers better ways to connect with the places they like to dine at most? There’s a lot to talk about and learn when using technology to run a restaurant!
- When is Lunch NOT Lunch? - Mike is freaked out by the concept of having breakfast food for dinner. But it doesn’t stop there. He’s also against mixing designated foods at the wrong meal time. Jeff was too astonished to bring up Lupper or Brunch, but had the wherewithall to share his love of breakfast at any time of day or night. Also mentioned was the time-honored practice of going to Denny’s or iHop at 3AM to have breakfast after a night of boozing.
- RANT! LITTER - Mike went off again on the madness of people throwing trash out of their windows and how the world’s biggest litter producer is probably Dunkin Donuts. Mike believes that Dunkin Donuts is responsible for the downfall of society and the non-beautification of the globe because their cups are all over the place. Jeff contended that if Dunk’s wasn’t so successful, there’d be less of their litter around. Catch 22!
