That's an interesting shoice. She's not particularly pretty in a classical way, but she's very striking.

There wasn't much choice there either (plain, works, cheese, relish, maybe a few others), but since he made all the burgers on a mesquite charcoal grill, it didn't really matter. They were good .

Depends on how precise the menu is, to me. The burgers were very precise and they had a large selection. Personally, I'm a supporter of the notion that if you don't like the way people make food, or if you don't like what is being sold, go to a place you do like. The idea that restaurants should be...

Hassle Fee

When I was in Chicago I visited a burger bar called Zuma, which looked much like a dive, biker bar if it wasn't for the massive horde of people, from all walks of life, waiting for a spot to eat one of their great burgers.

I don't really believe in telecommuting. Or rather; I've never seen it done in a way where it wasn't a massive pain in the ass. Details get lost, time becomes even more precious and it doesn't improve cooperation in any way. Perhaps it's the future, but we're not ready for it yet.
