Re: SCOTUS
It's been pointed out on the twitters that Kavanaugh could simply travel to another state for dinner.
Also, why did he allow himself to get hungry in the first place?

Re: SCOTUS
Morton’s could have issued a bland statement about their customers should be left alone. They made it hyper political.
Are the frat boy and the handmaid and their elk so out of touch they didn’t know how most Americans would feel about this dictate?

NEW: thousands of people are booking "fake reservations" for Morton's Steakhouse, after the steakhouse served Brett Kavanaugh & publicly berated pro-choice protestors

Re: SCOTUS
That won't last long. They'll start taking credit cards to ensure the reservation. Lots of places already do that.
But yay for now!
The booking on their website is down. Don't ask how I know. Imma be making a few calls.

Too funny. Wonder if the head of reputation management is seeking new employment.

"Currently we are experiencing a massive wave (trending at #2 on social media now) of negative response to our comments yesterday as well as being bombarded at the local level with phone calls and fake reservations on Open Table," Scott Crain, the SVP and COO of Morton's, wrote to restaurant managers in an email obtained by Politico.
"I am making you aware of this because there is a good chance that your restaurants will also potentially have some people reaching out for comment and/or making (bogus) reservations over the next few days," Crain continued. "As I stated yesterday, our comment is always 'No Comment.' We don't respond, we don't retweet, we don't post on Instagram or Facebook, we don't do anything."
"Again, we do NOT insert our political beliefs at any time - not with an employee, not with a fellow manager, and most certainly NOT with a guest," he added in the memo.
Re: SCOTUS
Been to a Morton's once in my life and not on my dime. Pretentious and way overpriced.

In fairness, my only two R.C. visits were paid for by someone else (respectively an old roommate who at least until recently made way more than I do and liked to treat me to nice food when he was back in town; and a very rich family friend). So was my sole Morton's visit. My go-to for buying my own steaks in SoFla used to be a nice little Argentine joint in Hollywood's Young Circle, a bit north of the Miami-Dade County line; on my assignment here in London, there's a French bistro down the street that makes a Bavette (flank steak) with a shallot-based jus that is hands down my favorite in the U.K., and reasonably priced enough that I was, for awhile, going weekly.

Re: SCOTUS
I do frequent fancy steakhouses at times, but I think you can get a good steak for a good price at… Texas Roadhouse. I’ve had hit and miss experiences at Outback, but that may just be the particular one in NY we hit a few times with the in-laws.

I can do TX Roadhouse, too... But that has been hit or miss for me.

A friend's daughter who had just graduated from Hospitality School, and was working in a firm that managed several smallish restaurant chains said "Don't worry, you're just not in their demographic". I guess that's so, but it doesn't justify crappy food and crappy service.
Has everybody heard about the bird?

True story: The first time I was engaged, 28 years ago -- we're still friends today and laugh about this anecdote regularly -- my then-fiance and I had playmates all over the world due to that text-based internet multiplayer gaming form of MUDding (well, MUSHing, the RP version of text-dungeon MUDding, really). One of them was a fellow named Mark who lived somewhere in Oz. Mark was well known in our circle for being something of a health nut. One day, as a joke, Diana decides to regale him with tales of our previous night's dinner at the Outback, talking up such things as the Aussie Cheese Fries. She KNOWS what his response is going to be, but does it anyway. "Diana, that sounds revolting and we have nothing like that here." "But, Mark, you'd have been so proud of me, I drank what was basically an entire jug of water with dinner." And though Mark and I were more frenemies than friends, his reply to this day makes me chuckle: "Diana, I'd rather you have eaten the plastic jug and thrown away those fries."keith wrote: ↑Mon Jul 11, 2022 12:35 amI've been to an Outback in Australia twice.

Re: SCOTUS
This is such a fantastic example of how the right tends to see politics. _their_ stance isn't 'politics', it is just neutral and the correct order, while anyone else, well, THEY are being political.pipistrelle wrote: ↑Sun Jul 10, 2022 1:03 pm"Again, we do NOT insert our political beliefs at any time - not with an employee, not with a fellow manager, and most certainly NOT with a guest," he added in the memo.
Re: SCOTUS
Maybe Justice Kavanaugh needs to get his handmaiden wife cooking lessons so he does not need to venture out in public?
And I think delivery can bring his beer.
