The More You Know!

So, I’m eating at Chuy’s last night with a good friend of mine, and while I suppose we could have ordered “fajitas for two”, we’re men, so we both ordered “fajitas for one” instead. You all probably know I don’t like my foods to touch each other let alone to touch other people’s foods… even if they are the same.

We place our order and not more than 4 minutes later, our waiter serves us our food. We were impressed. I jokingly asked him if someone had just sent back two orders of chicken fajitas, which of course was followed by a few seconds of awkward silence. Apparently my smile was not enough to convince him that I was not, in fact, being serious.

He eventually replied, “Nope. These are fresh. You only have to let the skillet heat up for fajitas so as long as you’re not ordering anything else, it comes fast.”

Not satisfied with the previous awkward silence, I commented, “So you’re saying my wife is the reason I have to wait to eat dinner?” 1…2…3…10 seconds of awkwardness. Much better.

So the moral of the story is, if you want to feed a family of 8 in under 10 minutes start to finish, do whatever you can to convince them that fajitas are the only way to go.
