Expensive new restaurant was our dinner last night. They spread news around about how good their 3-star chef is.
So this new fancy restaurant opens up. On our little island this is a big deal, there's not many to go to. We go in, nice decor with open-beam ceilings, big windows over the bay, eagles and herons flying around. Pretty nice.
Our garcon' or whatever comes to the table and recites what's on the menu for that night, all vichy-vou this and Bernaisse' sauce that, and other unpronouncable french food.
So we get a good Reisling to start with, Donna orders filet mignon with something sauce, I order a gamehen with something sauce, and "tender white asparagus shoots", stuffed mushroom appetizers with something-sauces and Cajun style prawn in Louisiana spiced sauce.
The gamehen was skinny and their fancy bbq sauce was just burnt Kraft-tasting burnt goo. The only good thing about the Cajun sauce was the jalapenos mixed in-- a Cajun would have shot the cook over the sauce. The "prawns" were really #14 shrimp.
The stuffed mushrooms with something-sauce were tasteless. No, they tasted bad. The white asparagus was tasteless and the something-sauce was bad tasting.
The twice-stuffed baked potatoes were lousy.
EVEN THE FILET MIGNON WAS TASTELESS. Donna gave me half of hers.
WORST MEAL FOR $106 I ever had. At any price. And after surface Navy chow that's saying something.
We went home and brushed our teeth, the after taste was so bad.
So at our G2G here, DON'T EAT AT "GORDON'S" IN FREELAND.
This morning my mouth still has a bad taste it in, like chewing my old gym socks or something.
