It was I got this combo platter. Oh my god, it was good. But I just couldn't eat to the level that I normally think I I don't know if it was the Your eyes were bigger.

SPEAKER_00 0:22

Wait, your eyes are bigger than your stomach.

SPEAKER_01 0:23

Yes, so I'm like, well, there's quite a bit that's coming back. So at any rate, um I mean I really like the bowl that the mac and cheese was in, so it came home.

SPEAKER_00 0:34

Wait, so was it you that liked it or Tiffany that liked it? Because you said that Tiffany's a pro of just uh chauffering that dish from one point to the other.

SPEAKER_01 0:44

Classy way to put it. No, she's the pro at getting it out of the restaurant. Like nobody'll know. Because I'm I let her pack everything for the most part. And because now I'm that guy. You know, I'm I'm the I'm the I can't pack anything at a table guy, right? Why? I don't know. This happens to men a lot. You get to a certain age and all of a sudden the woman just naturally Let me do it. Yes, just naturally, you know, puts things in the proper order. Me, I'd have like a garbage plate coming home. Not that I care, but you know Right.

SPEAKER_00 1:12

No, that sounds really delicious.

SPEAKER_01 1:13

See, right? So she's got it all properly organized and the bowl, which I now got charged for, uh and uh that I think is hilarious. Me too, sort of. You know, like I said, for five bucks I would have taken the set of two, and I didn't see a sign anywhere that said, if you walk out with one of our, you know, little side dish bowls, yeah, we're coming for you. But they obviously didn't finish closing out the bill, even though we paid on the table, until they did some kind of inventory in the back of all of our, you know.

SPEAKER_00 1:42

Well that comes usually at the end of the night, is you that that there will be like a reconciliation of all of that.

SPEAKER_01 1:47

I got reconciled. Yes. Anyway, Tiffany texted, she goes, I always say, quote, you're coming home with me. And let me tell you how how freaked out I was. Like, I didn't want the hostess. Well, let me tell you, at the age of 19, could care less what I walked out with. I could have walked out with her entire podium that she stands behind. She wouldn't have noticed. She would not have noticed. But like, I'm watching.

SPEAKER_00 2:10

She's like, I'm just here making minimum wage.

SPEAKER_01 2:12

Exactly. I'm watching, I'm watching Tiffany kind of maneuver and I was gonna be like lean in and be like, turn your body a little bit. They're gonna see it as we walk out. She no, she was just, you know, she just naturally maneuvered and out the door with with the cruet. Is it a cruit? Is that what we call it? Oh what do they call the list?

SPEAKER_00 2:28

I'm not sure.

SPEAKER_01 2:28

A ramekin. Sorry, not a cruit. A ramikin.

SPEAKER_00 2:30

Ramekins are small though.

SPEAKER_01 2:31

But but this was like a big ramekin.

SPEAKER_00 2:33

It was like the perfect ramekin for a full scoop of ice cream. It was a plus size ramp. Ramekin.

SPEAKER_01 2:37

Thick. You know, and I'm like, this is a good quality right here. Not five dollars worth, but good quality.

SPEAKER_00 2:42

I never have the balls to do it either. The last time that a dish came home with me, I made Sonia do it.

SPEAKER_01 2:51

She'll do anything.

SPEAKER_00 2:52

I know, she had no problems with it. And I love how she so proudly brings it to my house, too, because we I we were in separate cars. Uh it was an event or something, whatever it was. We were in separate cars. So when she comes over the next time, she slams the pie. There you go.

SPEAKER_01 3:07

There it is. You got it. And you and you get it. That's great. And you know what's funny? You probably had put it out of your mind totally. Then all of a sudden you're like, oh, this is great. Listen to this compliment we just got.
