What do you never order at a restaurant, and why?

:face_with_open_eyes_and_hand_over_mouth: All kinds and parts, and no matter how it is prepared? I am just curious; what kind of crab does your wife prefer, and how does she like them prepared?

There are many things my husband yucks that I yum, and that is one of the things that makes going out to eat nice. Not crab though; we both love Dungeness. He would prefer not to mess around with the shells, but he does, to taste them right after steaming.

Yep, for me a universal nope. For wife it’s crab cakes only.

That’s a bridge too far, even for me.

Hahaha. I was looking around the room, watching most people in the hiking group I was with scarf it down. We had our meal at the restaurant included in our weekend package, that was a very economical price.

It’s one of the last places where I dined, that had the paper placemats with the illustrations of all the cocktails.

fond memories of jahn’s — though i forewent the kitchen sink in favor of a hot fudge sundae.

I went to a restaurant in NYC once, and it was well-known at the time (but I can’t remember the name) where the tablecloths were sheets of craft paper and there was a box of crayons on each table.

I know exactly the one you mean, and I am going to go crazy trying to remember the name.

I’m down with that. We stopped eating shrimp many years ago. Ecologically, shrimp fishing is quite damaging (we heard that on a Ted talk from a marine biologist which I can’t recall/find but it made an impact on us).

I think it was in midtown. We didn’t take a cab, and that’s where we were.

So can I have your bicuits and crab gravy?

I have a law school classmate who got embarrassingly high in Alaska Airlines’s C-suite. Every so often he’d fly me a fresh-cooked, whole king crab, sandwiched between sheets of plywood. Made quite the party centerpiece

He was a hell of an abalone diver, too.

Fits my description, is in midtown … but honestly I don’t remember much of what it looked like. I recall it was dark inside - but we are talking about the 1980s -so ….my memory may have faded.
