I love it with apple pie, but that's it
That sounds gross.

I doubt it. She’s not big on cheese.

How dare you try to besmirch my mother’s good name with a phallic cheese joke?

Attaboy. When I went into Panera a few minutes ago to get a bowl of soup, they were playing Dirty Work. Made a pretty good bowl of soup even better.

I wonder what the staff turnaround is like at Panera versus the kinds of lunch counters we’re talking about in this thread.

I ate at a diner once that had staff so old that their sections had wooden plaques with their names spelled out in cursive with that western rope motif. Now that’s a lunch counter.

Well, I live in a college town, so at 8pm the entire staff consisted of all college and high school kids.

A slice of cheese on Pretzel Logic would be pretty good.

Also, a fucking blue plate? Colloquialism off the charts as usual, Reid.
