  2. Awesome menu. That made my day.

    Don't forget to try the ,

    000 Oil Beluga, Golden Osetra, and Platinum Sevruga Assortment Plate with the ZIRP sauce.

  3. The Corn Fed Not So Prime Roast sounds delicious, and who in their right mind doesn't like Unemployment Souffle.

    Of course it all sounds a little rich for my blood. I'm going to Jack in the box, where I can get a Jumbo Loan Jack and a Breakfast Bailout Burrito.

    Times are tough these days

  5. You remind me of the famous "siege of Paris of 1871 menus" where items which had never before made their appearance on a restaurant menu had their
    debuts.
