FINE DINING IN ATL AIRPORT.

Dear friend and family,

I just wanted to share my most recent dining situation with you all. First, it was between some sort of race car grill or O'Charley's pressed sandwiches. Ooo I thought - a nice pressed wrap? So I stood in line until the cashier started yelling BOY at me. Surely it wasn't my turn yet - there were at least 17 people in front of me. But it sure was my turn. I ordered a grilled turkey and Swiss on a wheat wrap. She looked at me like a crazy dieting transexual and rolled her eyes. The rest of the menu was deep fried bacon and cheese French fries and other oily treats. So I proceeded down the fat recieving line sandwiched in between two tremendous human beings and someone calls my #. Only instead of a wrap she pours my lunch onto a dripping wet hoagie and asks if I want mayo. I said I ordered a wrap and judging the look on her face - she would have hocked a loogie in my hoagie if I wasn't staring directly at her. Then she repeated, do you want mayo? Now even the avid mayonaise enthusiast would regretfully decline mayo at this kind counter for fear of the insane amount she would squirt onto your lunch. So, naturally I refused and took my completely dry wrap to a table. After only one bite I realized I would not be able to take another dry bite so - like a dog with his tail between his legs - I re-approached the counter and asked for some honey mustard. A little HM would positively save this sorry excuse for a wrap - I thought. To which she replied for me to get a cup. A cup? I said. And she waved her surgical glove over the counter to a section of tiny ketchup cups. A cup. I said , realizing her reference. So I grabbed a cup and handed it to her - but to my astonishment, midway through our exchange she squirted the love sauce directly into my cup (see attached picture) and subsequently all over my hand. I am sure you all can picture the look on my face at any point during my dining experience but this look in particular was pretty priceless. I kindly replied - thank you - and walked back to my soon to be delicious wrap.

Thanks O'Charleys for a truely unforgetable dining experience. I will treasure it forever.

Hope you all enjoyed that story as much as I enjoyed experiencing it and sharing it with you.

Love.
