Planned on trying out mathy's dine n dash technique tonight
Took my laptop with me as I was doing some prep work for a few potential trades and I thought the appearance of such would make me look like a trustworthy business man mozying on in for a late night supper. Waitress started chatting me up and I told her I was a food critic with the New York Times and was writing a column on the best restaurants in Toronto (I put on my best American accent and peppered the conversation with references to Manhattan). She immediately communicated this to the kitchen and the glorious dishes started coming out, one after another.
I opened a Word file and started typing notes in between courses as if I were carefully evaluating the food. I had lobster thermidor, some wonderful sushi rolls, avacado/edamame salad with sesame dressing and beef Tips. They sent out a bottle of pinot noir. I arrogantly sniffed, twirled and sipped it, all the while making the most austere face I could muster. A fantastic creme brulee arrived for dessert. The staff tip-toed around me so gingerly. They were a bit nervous.
I received the bill and it just had a smiley face on it. I asked the manager for his business card/e-mail address so I could send him a copy of my "article." Just too damn easy! I encourage those of you with enough class to pull this one off to try it out for yourself.
