During Mardi Gras in 2000, my freinds and I were in a restaurant on Bourbon Street, and i ordered a cheeseburger. I wanted a damn cheeseburger, i had been eating cultural food for 4 days straight just wanted some beef.
my freinds got all embarrased, but the waiter was cool about it. he stood there and smiled. my friends said "He's kidding..." The waiter said "I know, Im waiting for his real order."
i caved and had fried catfish. it was good, almost worth the $19 i paid for it... (the fucking cheeseburger was $5....)
then my friends proceed to bitch about the quality of their meals (crawfish for one, something with hushpuppies for the other), and dropped $7 a pint for guinness. i spent significantly less on corona.
they were going to stiff the waiter a decen ttip because the food was sub-standard fro the most part and the drinks way over priced, but i told them if i was cornered into spending 4 times what i was going to for a meal, they were sure as hell goingto leave hima good tip, he was great waiter.
in the end, i think the meal came to $90 and we left him a $35 tip.
