Puttin on the Fritz...

Taking a step back here, today’s pictures are from a fine restaurant experience in Kansas City at Thanksgiving time. We had lunch at Fritz’s at Crown Center. A delightful train themed restaurant – the kids get engineer’s caps, you phone in the order and the food is brought to you by a train.

First off – the barely 7 yr old probably should not be placing the order. Even though we wrote it on a napkin for her to read, she ad-libbed – or something - because not only did a human walk out from the kitchen to verify, but we didn’t end up with all the food we intended to order, ah well…

Notice I referred to this as a fine restaurant experience and not a fine dining experience. Honestly – it was a fine diner quality burger and fries…well, the fry I tasted was good...there was only one since the grown-up’s fry order was part of what was lost in translation.

So, above we have J placing the order, below - after the train whistle sounded signalling a delivery - a train bringing the tray and the tray itself lowering to the table.
