free meal!!!!!

so this was not actually my first meal back in austin. i drove 15 hours from atlanta to austin on wednesday, all alone. my first stop back in austin was my friends house, where my dog had been housed for the two weeks that i was away. my friend, maury bought me dinner which was so nice but unfortunatly my throat was too sore to eat.

my first real celebratory meal in austin was held after i picked jenny, my roomie up from the airport. she had just come back from a week in mexico, who knows what she ate! so she had plans with beatrice for lunch and i wanted to join in.


the weather was super nice and we wanted to eat outside but we didn't want it to be too meaty and we also couldnt really have mexican food. on the way, we picked up beatrice's friend stanley who took his lunch break with us.

beatrice ordered her favorite app and was enjoying it until stanley asked for a bite. we all watched as her face turned sour and she stuck out her tongue to reveal a shard of glass. and then again to push out a large piece of glass. we all stared in disbelief and she spit the rest of her mouthful into a napkin. we told the waitress who apologized, took the plate, and sent the manager out who comped our entire meal. only we hadn't ordered yet. all of our "should i get the soup AND the salad?" concerns were alleviated and we were all able to get everything that sounded appealing.


all though we were all pretty taken aback by glass in beatrice's appetizer, this had put a whole new spin on the meal and we all enjoyed ourselves fully.

also, the service was superb and the poor waitress more than made up for the kitchen's mistake. i felt bad because she pretty much was kissing her butt's for the rest of the time. or maybe she was just really sweet. you should eat at this place for suuuuuuure! plus i'm like pretty sure that luke wilson was eating inside while we were there. i mean, he was covered in glitter, so it must've been a celebrity? right? yes/no?
