These restaurant "snippits" are complimentary appetizers and food for thought to "dine on" while considering holiday restaurant excursions.
CLEANLINESS
This will come as no surprise to my friend Tom Treloar, but a national survey commissioned by SCA Tissue North America and administered on-line by Harris International reveals what many already know: Restroom cleanliness is key to how diners view a restaurant.
Eighty eight percent of respondents felt that overall restaurant cleanliness is reflected in the cleanliness of the restroom facilities. If they do not keep the restrooms clean, how can we expect the kitchen to be much better? It is one of those things universally understood but rarely spoken about and now revealed by survey.
In a survey that was 52% female, 48% male, 52% married, 30% with children and 52% older than age 45, Americans indicate the restaurant industry needs to get out their brooms, dustpans, mops, sponges and plungers if they want to keep diners coming back.
GIFT CARDS
Keeping in mind that Scam Examiner Karin Malchow advises caution when buying holiday gift cards this year since bankrupt companies are not required to honor such things, this examiner remains on the gift card bandwagon, at least when it comes to restaurants and holidays.
During the holiday season, many restaurants offer special deals to lure diners into purchasing gift cards as Christmas gifts. It is a beautiful idea, especially if you like to eat, and it is the best “one-size-fits-all” idea since gifting cash. Just be careful to understand the rules, (some deals require waiting until at least January for redemption), and you could take home instant savings of 10%, 20% or more. It is also OK to give the gift cards to oneself, or to me, for that matter.
INSANE BURGERS
While surfing satellite TV for something interesting to watch, I came across the show, “The Top Ten Places to Pig Out in America”. One of the top contenders was a place in Boston called, “Eagles Deli”. I watched in amazement as stacks of patties became enormous burgers meant for the consumption of one, lone assailant. I had to visit the website.
At the website, I found information more incredible than what I saw on the show. Eagles’ biggest burger is the “Challenge Burger” which includes five pounds of beef, 20 slices of cheese, 20 pieces of bacon, five pounds of French fries, one half sour pickle and fountain drink for just $50. Except for the lone fountain drink, that’s a meal for a family of five, but is intended for one, lone gunman.
If that is a bit much for your tiny tummy, they also offer the Paul Jones with four pounds of beef and five pounds of fries for $35, the Reilly at three pounds of beef and five pounds of fries for $25, the Cowabunga with just two pounds of beef and two pounds of fries for $20.00, the Godzilla with a meager one pound each beef and fries for $9.50 and, for your girlfriend, the King Kong at only ½ pound of each for $7.50. Naturally, all come with a fountain drink that you are more than likely to need.
I suppose they offer more “new millennium friendly” dining experiences, but the big burgers are their specialty and their trade. I sent them along an email and hope they will have pictures for me soon since there are none on the website. Trust me, these burgers are huge! Check out the menu at www.eaglesdeli.com and come back soon to check out the pictures.
