So, my birthday surprise was a visit from IPLawGuy, and tomorrow we will head down to the Wisconsin Dells to do some skiing. On the way, we will stop in Tomah, Wisconsin to dine at Mr. Ed's TeePee Supper Club, pictured above. It's kind of a snowmobiler's paradise. Plus, they have food.
So, what's your favorite restaurant? Tell me about it in haiku! Here, I will go first:
IPLawGuy eats
Fried stuff and garbage and beef
He'll love Mr. Ed's!
Now it is your turn... just make it good and fun and 5/7/5, and no one gets hurt.

ReplyDeleteNear Mont St. Michele
ReplyDeleteWife of 3-Star Chef
Translated menu.
One item puzzled –
“A symphony of worm brains.”
The amuse bouche?
Gulp! We had consumed.
"Madame, s'il vous plais,
Le menu Francais!"
Laughing nearby guests'
Hilarious solution –
“Medley of warm brains.”
Note: I say I am a haiku purist because I resist multi-stanzas of haiku, but perhaps I'm just lazy? This true story could not be told in 17 syllables. Much left out even with four times that many. At one point I said to the chef's wife, in all seriousness, "I didn't know worms had brains." My husband, his parents, who were with us, and I laughed for two days over this. By the way, the food was divine.

ReplyDeleteI'm not sure if I am happy I missed out on a visit to Mont St. Michele or sad that I didn't have the opportunity to try such a strangely intriguing meal.

Oh,give me a break
ReplyDeleteGeoffrey! Your French is for the
Feelthy pigeons! Go!
By the way,I remember the stink you raised in Pierre's Bistro (which is no more,probably because of the little incident you recall. When the police arrived to arrest you for taking a swing at Pierre for running out of napkins,they discovered mold on the Mousse au Chocolat. I blame you personally)over that missing napkin. You always lost your napkin at dinner,because it slid off of those sleasy sharkskin slacks you used to wear. Hit the road,Jack,er Geoffrey!
