Didn't need to be said twice.
Natter 72: We Were Unprepared for This
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
We were just talking about that in NOLA.
Oh man, sign me up.
the bar menu must be awesome! "I'm sloppy," "I'm depressed," "I'm in denial."
Here's the Cafe Gratitude menu.
The menu does look tasty, but I would have to order on line or something because I couldn't bring myself to order "I am pure" out loud under any circumstances.
Indeed the Buffista alternative would surely thrive right across the street from Cafe Gratitude.
I would like to eat at the Fight Club version of that today. I am Jack's complete inability to do housework sounds about right for lunch.
I'll have the querulous, hold the toast.
The other totally weird chain of vegan restaurants is Loving Hut. Those ones are all over the world, and run by the Supreme Master people. No weird ordering rules, and the food is generally pretty good (they're franchised, and each one can decide on their own menu, though it's usually mostly Vietnamese food with a few local things mixed in -- crepes at the ones in France, burgers at the ones in the US, and so on), but you're surrounded by screens broadcasting Supreme Master propaganda, with subtitles in about five different languages. All stuff about how the world is going to end if we don't all love the earth, become vegan, and listen to the Supreme Master.
Was someone in here talking about 1776 at ACT? John Adams is being played by an old friend of mine, John Hickok.
Hil, my friend C has done the sound design for both of the Supreme Master's TV specials the past couple of years. Hilarious. They are crazy, but very, very nice. Also excellent vegan food.
C has gotten personal notes of thanks from the SM each year. And a Christmas present, which none of us can figure out.
As cults go, you could do worse.
