Went to our “county seat” on Saturday - Waukegan, Illinois - it’s a seat for sure, not sure which toilet it came off of, even though it’s actually improved the experience in dining is one for the books.You can’t always get what you want.. but you can try sometimes.. we tried… to no avail
I printed out my little sheets of area restaurants, assured by my better half there was a restaurant right across the street from the Genesee Theater, gorgeous old place, a must see actually. Well needless to say, Jacks Restaurant is opening in Summer of 2008, and it was the last day of summer, and it was not open.
Pull out the stack of papers from my pocketbook and head over past Washington Street, to Bistro 17, well.. closed for remodeling. We decided we would back track it, over to Opera Pub or something of the name, all we cared it said, Grill & Bar.. well, what part of Grill is it when they don’t serve food.
“Frozen Pizza, all we got” we got on out of there, it felt as if we were un welcome.
Back down the street to Fong’s - Chinese, I can handle that and a beer. Ron White goes on at 7:00 we are 2 minutes from the theater and it’s now 10 minutes to 6, plenty of time. Well, understaffed and misunderstood!
Comedy routine waiting to happen, we order, start eating the appetizers, that mind you - were not ours, only did we realize that half way through. My son & husband got their food at 6:20, our friend John got his at 6:30, he realized it wasn’t what he ordered either.. oh well, keep eating John, they may take it away..
Mine came at 6:40, I ordered Chicken Fried Rice, the rice was not fried, it did have Chicken, as well as Shrimp & Steak.. here sat our dear friend Linda, no food in front her, longing to eat, it was than, I had to wonder, are we part of Candid Camera, is this a bad reality show? As 6:45 approached, the waitress came over to Linda, with crab rangoon, not what she ordered, out of the mouth came…..
“Chicken Screwers take-A too lonnnng, you eat-A somethi’ else!”Set the plate down & walked away.. lights, camera..Hello Waukegan!
Ron White Kicked Ass!
