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.

I worked at a really fancy restaurant and the only things kids could ever order was the cheeseburger, the menu was pretty limited. One time this husband and wife were ordering their main course and the woman's husband ordered a cheeseburger. She was like "Don't get a cheeseburger!" and she smiled at me as if to say "my husband is a moron, suggest something we can't eat at home" and I was like "The cheeseburger is delicious! How would you like it done?" I knew he would have eventually would have ordered something different and hated it if I didn't say that. Also I'm busy damn. :p
the cheeseburger was 17$ btw haha
