but they could pay me in cheese

So tonight was just an absurd dining experience. Seeing how it was a nice cool evening and Sarah was finally feeling like she was getting over her cold, we decided to go out to eat somewhere we could sit outside. Our first choice was Brixx, but they were mobbed. So we moved on to Patio Loco in Chapel Hill. All I can say is thank Crom neither of us had a watch on. Altho we knew it was taking for-frakkin-ever, being unaware of the specifics (about two hours) made it a bit more tolerable. The kitchen was obviously in the shit, as Gordon Ramsay would put it. All the waiters were heavily into damage control mode. And altho they were great, it would've been nice if management had comped the drinks. Or done, I dunno, anything beyond having the waiters apologize over and over. When it's taking hours for the food to come out and you're running out of plantains, green rice, and salsa (!!!), saying "sorry" is pretty much the absolute least you can do. The fact that the wait staff were clearly doing there best, along with the fact that the food, when it did come out, was damn good (as it usually is there) is the only reason why I'm thinking that it'll be a while before I go back there, as opposed to thinking that I'll never go back

I think the defining moment of the meal was when they brought our food just as they ran out of silverware, and we had to eat with our hands for about 10 minutes. At least we had tortillas to scoop up the food.

also, I forgot that the sour cream appeared to be unsweetened whipped cream, which suggests they were also out of sour cream.
