So for my birthday, we all left to go to Red Lobster for lunch. Being familiar with my route home, I suggested the Woodbridge Red Lobster. My logic was swept away by two other employees who assured me the Alexandria one was the way to go.
Needless to say, 20 minutes into the drive I had my doubts. (By the way, Woodbridge would have been 15-20 minutes). As we neared to within about a mile of the restaurant, we hit traffic. I am not talking about "wow honey, it is busy today" traffic. I am talking about gridlocking, it is going to take us an hour to go one hour traffic. After much disappointment (yes, I was disappointed in not going to Red Lobster) we did a U-turn and headed to Red Hot N Blue.
At this point we are over a half an hour into our lunch. We get seated and proceed to order. Charnika ordered a "all out" burger and Garret proceeds to order a "Hoochie" Burger. Shortly thereafter the server (not our waiter) brings us the food. Clearly stating that it is the "all out" burger Charnika accepts the burger with fries..and her baked potato. Garret, slightly puzzled over no fries on his plate, shrugs and tries his burger. Della and I are both enjoying our meal and Garret tries to get Della to try the "Hoochie" sauce he is smothering on his burger "because it is so good, they just didn't put enough on."
Then Garret says "wow..this sauce is kinda hot." And Charnika bites her burger and says "this is not the all out burger...where is my pulled pork? And why is this so GD hot!"
By now you should have concluded exactly how it went down. Garret got the "All out" burger and Charnika the "Hoochie". And Garret learned never to smother a burger with the sauce you think you like..or you will be downing pitchers of soda like a man in the desert! If that waiter never sees us again, I am sure he will die a happy man.
Moral of the story... Don't eat the Hoochie sauce unless you like it hot.
