Dinner

Sunshine Cafe

Dave and I had dinner tonight at the Sunshine Cafe. It was nice. The space is nice. The help is nice. The food is...nice. I guess that's not much of a review. The place is too expensive to make it a regular hangout and "nice" food doesn't necessarily justify the expense. So maybe I'll say that the place is earnest.

But you don't have to take my word for it. Here's a review of the Sunshine Cafe. I have to warn you though that the guy who writes these reviews is kind of...unique. In one of his reviews, he explains that he used to "do psychometrics" for one of the branches of the U.S. military. Maybe that explains reviews like the one for Sunshine, which begins with a quote from the John Denver song "Sunshine On My Shoulders." (That was a classic, eh? They don't write them like that anymore.) Anyway, the reviewer himself is like a little ray of sunshine. I don't think, I mean, that he'd give a restaurant a bad review even if the waiter were to chase him out of the restaurant or the restaurant owner kicked him in the seat of the pants.

I do love this guy's writing though. Seriously. Here's a sample from the review, in case you don't feel like going over to read the whole thing:

"Breakfast entrees include a somewhat unconventional smothered breakfast burrito fashioned on an enormous whole wheat tortilla which is engorged with eggs, potatoes, white Cheddar cheese and black beans all smothered in a green chile sauce. For a mere pittance you can raise the burrito to another plain by adding smoked bacon. This is an excellent burrito redolent with the inimitable aroma of roasted green chile and replete with fresh ingredients which meld concordantly to give your taste buds a ray of sunshine feel."

I know! Fabulous! It's, like, someone's using that Word-A-Day calendar he got for Christmas!
