QotD: Chez Me
If you could open a restaurant, any kind you want, what would it look like and what's on the menu?
Submitted by A is for Amy.
In high school I had this awesome plan to open up a restaurant with food based on works of Great Literature. The menu would feature such dishes as:
- Grapeleaves of Wrath
- Cherry Orchard pie
- Count of Monte Cristo sandwich
- Breakfast of Champions (similar to a Denny's Grand Slam)
- The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock do I dare to eat a peach melba
- The Jungle mystery meatloaf surprise
- Dante's Inferno spicy chili
- Moveable Feast all-you-can-eat buffet
I can’t think of any more right now but you get the gist. At some point, probably in college, I decided it would be better as a bar and then I could just focus on the various signature cocktails of the Great Authors. Hemingway Tequila Sun Also Rises or what have you.
Needless to say the restaurant I would create today would be much different. Now my dream is to open a rice pudding boutique to serve as a front for my crime ring.
