quick change

Ok, so I went to burger's supreme, which isn't on state street, or even in orem, but I saw a sign that kind of cracked me up


That has got to be about the quickest change from excitement to reproach, ever!

chicken dinner!

Ran this one past the misses and since she laughed, I figured it was worth blogging about.

Thanks to my mother-in-law for the pictured card. I was just thinking that once I have three (or maybe five) useds scratched off for say, carls jr, that I could ask something like

"I got all useds, what do I win?"

say hola (again) to sopes!

Well, hard to compare when you have only had one sopes, but now that I have two, I definitely liked the sopes of El Gallo Giro. Kind of funny, but google language tools can't give me a translation. Also kind of funny, that when our orders arrived, the cashier had to come and tell us which were our respective orders. Not your father's gordita.



I chose chicken for my meat topping. Gotta say, that even though autentico mexican food may not be my total cup of tea, I was really impressed at how much these folks seemed to want us there. The cashier did come out when I think our food deliverer perhaps sensed our confusion, and walked us through it all. They kept the rather yummy chips and salsa flowing. They even brought us a fork. How cool is that? Whereas I usually don't get too excited about tipping at places where you order at a counter, a food deliver delivers your food, and you bus your own table, here I left a tip. If the trash can says thank you, I think that means bus your own table. Considering the level of autentico-ness, I am surprised we didn't have gracias trash cans.

Guess I never stepped foot near the statue of liberty, I always thought it would be bigger. Darn french.

Victim of a little gandolfo's bait and switch. Well, kind of. The coupon was buy a sandwich, get one free. Too bad for me and drew, our particular statestreet gandolfo's, wasn't listed on our coupon. So whereas some places accept competitor's coupons, this one didn't even accept sister location coupons.



Funny enough, the one down the street did on a different occasion. The mrs and I like the occasional gandolfo's breakfast sandwich. We had a coupon as above, and figured we'd give it a go one saturday. I think we went a little later, and we got a full sandwich and a breakfast sandwich. The total came to like eleven dollars. The coupon said up to a nine dollar value, so naturally, our cashier took our coupon (though his location wasn't listed, though I didn't realize it at the time), and charged us two dollars and some few cents. We said, well, it should probably be more, since the breakfast sandwich would come free and we would pay for the full sandwich. Ok, he said, and charged us three dollars and some few cents. No idea what his algorithm was there.

And this of course would be post-cloverfield
