Blocking the Kitchen View

Years ago when we had dinner at Village Inn, we were seated next to the kitchen. Before our dinner was brought out, I glanced into the kitchen and saw our waitress eating our fries off the plate before she brought them out. I was utterly disgusted! Wouldn't you be? So, from then on, every time we eat out, I make sure that we are not sitting next or near the kitchen where I can see what goes in there. I don't need to know. Really. If the people want to eat my fries, that's ok, but I don't want to see it.

We had a date night last night with Rod and after seeing the movie "Australia" (highly recommend it but prepare yourself, it is 3 hours long. I had to make a potty break in the middle, and almost missed an important scene), we went to Magelby's for some chocolate cake. Sure enough, we were seated directly across from the kitchen and the swinging kitchen doors. Oh boy. That's going to be a problem. Rod told the waitress if she could find another table for us, and she said that there is one booth available shortly. Oh crap. "Noooo, it's fine, we can stay here", I said. Because Rod is so chivalrious, he came and sat next to me. Due to the size of his head, he was able to block the view to the kitchen. Thanks honey, you are the BEST! Am I weird?

Right behind his head and hand are the kitchen doors.

We might both be weird, but I don't like to look in the kitchen either. That was nice of Rod to take care of you like that.

Our waitress last night kept rubbing her face - her eyes and her nose. I was totally grossed out.

That is hilarious. The picture is classic. So, I want to know if Rod ate his cake with his hand on his head like that. I hope they brought him out a HUGE piece of cake for being such a gentleman to his sweet wife.

I don't think you are weird at all that is one of the things I don't like about Red Robin, you can see write into the food prep area from most of the restaurant. Gold star for my brother for being such a gentleman. Only 4 more days until I come home yippee.
