Meditation for September 29th, 2016
Restaurant Prayer
How do you know if the restaurant you are eating at is a place of spirituality and mysticism? Well, there are certain signs that help dictate that you will be communing with God as you eat your meal.
&
Something & something in the name help lock two seperate ideas together into alchemy. Swift & Union, Wolf & Bear, the Lost & Found, the Thing & the Other Thing, Spic & Span…
Mason Jars
Even though the entree is $30, the glasses and the light fixtures are all mason jars. It’s like going back in time and eating a real expensive meal in the depression.
The Slightly Less Than Popular Version of a Cuisine
It’s not just any Thai food, it’s Northern Thai food. The usual Thai food you see is cheap and Southern Thai, but this is the lesser known Northern dishes. Tampa Bay style Pizza, Louisville style burrito, Mission style spaghetti O’s…
Illustrations As Art on the Walls
It might be a print of a clock, a bird, or something that is clearly an illustration being touted as high art. You can buy that stamp of Ronald McDonald with an uzi for your home for $1500.
Prohibition Era Cocktails That Didn’t Exist in Prohibition
Scotch with lavender and fennel? Moscow mule with real whipping cream and pomegranate served in a silver chalice? Bourbon served on one rock with a dash of sea salt, a pinch of Brussels sprout shavings, feminine pubic hair and a spittle of melted plastic served in a mason jar? These all might sound like drinks served in speakeasys, but they weren’t.
Darkness
The key to fine dining is not seeing the food before it enters the mouth. This is what is called the Paleo diet: eating in the dark.
Shitty Service
The meal costs anywhere between $25 to $65, so the tip should be 25% of that, but usually the server is not really a server but a screenwriter, painter, poet, meditation blog author or a metal band drummer so they have no time for your “demands” like what the soup is today.
If the restaurant you walked in doesn’t have at least one of these features, then you are in a Taco Bell.
