Plaza's minimum daily requirement of cheese.

but when will Strega update its tragic mid-'90s typeface? I wish Gordon Ramsay would go all Kitchen Nightmares on them and bring them into this century. (as far as the looks go, not the food - I've never been, never want to go.)

It's all about the bing. As in baddabing.

Yous know what I mean?

He looks alarmingly gaunt in that first photo. I have to admit, I haven't been by one of his restaurants personally lately to bump into him; could just be the photo.

sounds like he's exactly as trashy as he looks. ugh.

$25 at Market Basket gets you the same gruyere and emmenthaler experience for 1/3 the price. And no parking garage necessary.

your grandparents' dust-caked Appliance Avocado Green fondue set out of the attic.

My set is Danish wood. Very swinger-y.

Wow, you mean restaurant food costs more than the raw materials? What a scam!!! Next you'll tell me that going to the movies costs more than staying home and watching TV!

cost gap at the restaurant. My wife brings a big, empty purse; I surreptitiously fill it with banana slices and croutons.

Maybe bring an a plastic bag full of cheese as well...free refills!

the Ziploc with the double-zipper closure. I learned the hard way: this is not the moment to recycle the bread bag and twist-tie. The More You Know...

Oh, wait: I thought you meant for bringing the restaurant cheese home.

By cybah on Tue, 03/24/2015 - 5:47pm.

just go all out.. small gladware containers work the best! (and they're reusable!)

A vest with rubber pockets. That way you can take home your damp tea bags.

This idea is going to be huge on etsy any day now.
