Every time I see it, even more than the stupid-rear end names and dumb concept the typesetting on that Bastille menu drives me nuts. The "$ 1 8 ." expanded underneath "PEACEMAKER" vs. the "$18." centered below "CHICKEN SAUVE" which aren't even of equal length ah gently caress I hate it so much!!!! GUYS! COME QUICK! I FOUND THE SON OF A BITCH WHO INVENTED THE BASTILLE MENU!

Cafe Gratitude was pretty ok to eat at actually, you just have to go in prepared to lol at their attitude in general. Too bad about the Est thing though.

https://www.vice.com/en/article/gqw3ny/reasons-why-los-angeles-is-the-worst-place-everquote:This is the menu at a place called Cafe Gratitude. All of their dishes have "positive affirmations" rather than "names," so when you order you're supposed to be like "I am beautiful" to the waiter, and then the waiter will look at you all sincere and go "you ARE beautiful!" *shudder* Is there a story behind that Bastille menu that I can read?

Halloween Jack posted:https://www.vice.com/en/article/gqw3ny/reasons-why-los-angeles-is-the-worst-place-ever The original tweet is on archive.org but there's not much there except that the restaurant was the Roebling Tea Room in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. https://web.archive.org/web/20190108141632/https:/twitter.com/Star_Anise_H/status/1082420899658240000 It looks like they did a Bastille Day special menu each year? https://twitter.com/ROEBLINGTEAROOM/status/489556482904449025?s=19 Until I looked into this I genuinely thought the name of the restaurant was Bastille. Also when it was first reposted I could not remember if it was real or from Achewood

Someday I would love to learn what about half of the things on that menu are. Like I think Eggs Mayonnaise with Russian Mayo is a deviled eggs thing, since some people think Russians have better mayo. But googling Chicken Suave turns up just nothing.

there's probably a prototype cart of a 90's mascot platformer sitting in a desk in an abandoned office building in los gatos called chicken suave when you reproduce by virtue of being the only one cowardly enough to have avoided the last catastrophe, that's chicken suave a chicken suave is burger king internal ordering code for an original chicken sandwich with bacon and onion rings and a side of barbque sauce

They strongly encourage their employees to attend seminars for "Landmark Education" which is a rebrand of EST. If you refuse, or speak critically about Landmark, they show you the door.

Do they at least give out Fiesta names to the diners? And rapidly tap their gathered menus into place on the table with a little smile before going out back and having a little cry?

In case anyone wasn't sure, the Roebling Tea Room bastille day menu is supposed to be ridiculous and funny. Suave sauce originated as an autocorrect mistake; I think it was buffalo sauce with clamato.

Halloween Jack posted:https://www.vice.com/en/article/gqw3ny/reasons-why-los-angeles-is-the-worst-place-ever There’s a Cafe Gratitude in Kansas City. Exact same restaurant with the menu name gimmick and all. It’s been in business here for something like eight or nine years. Even the Midwest is not immune to this nonsense.

Café Gratitude also has loose ties to the remaining members of the Source Family, a now defunct cult. The Source Family had its own (very popular) LA restaurant back in the 70s, where cult members would work for free, and Café Gratitude held a pop-up event in 2019 "honouring" that restaurant where they served a variation on its menu and hosted former Source Family members as keynote speakers.

The Source Family is fascinating from what little I've heard. They had a messiah who took drugs and figured out he wasn't god.

Man it's not possible to have multiple spaces in a row in your username, is it? Cause I would just love to become "CITY TOAST" but if I can't get like 10 spaces in there, there's no point. fake edit: you can't even do it in a post. Why the gently caress would that be. Do extra spaces take up valuable bandwidth?

The double-space after a period your keyboarding teacher laboriously beat into your head? Browser doesn't give a poo poo.

One more, the rest of the ideas I had involved Pat or Roast Beef for the most part and I wanted to stick with the idea of these matchbooks being very Ray-esque for now
