To celebrate our RSS readership breaking over 40, we’ve decided to share with you a little taste of the charmed life Jay and I lead. Hopefully it will inspire you, and doesn’t make you too jealous. Without further ado I present to you:

Dave and Jay’s Fine Dining Experience - May 15th 2007!

This evening, Jay and I decided to stop by the Wendy’s / New York Fries service station off the Cainsville exit in Brantford, Ontario. Normally you need reservations for such a high class establishment, but the staff has standing orders to seat us when we show up regardless (it’s just how we roll, folks).

‘Biggie Fry’

Dave's Biggie Fries

I ordered these tasty fries for an appetizer! They were piping hot and cooked to a golden brown. This particular Wendy’s is well known in the area for having just the right size for any appetite, and they did not disappoint. I could literally hear my heart telling me, “you bastard!” as the trans-fats clogged up my arteries.

New York Fries - Regular size

Jay's regular new york fries

Jay went with the regular sized New York Fries. Apparently he didn’t like the fact that the hostess at Wendy’s was coughing over everything… whatever! He still has a lot to learn about fine dining, guys, so don’t be too hard on him. New York Fries are known for containing 0 grams of trans fats, or as I like to call it, ‘with no awesome juice’. Fine dining isn’t about health.

Big Bacon Classic - hold the Tomatoes and Onions.

I went with the famous old-fashioned Big Bacon Classic burger for my main course. Its hot n’ juicy beef patty is decked out with processed cheese, and three - count ‘em, three - hickory smoked strips of bacon. They even wait until you order it before they make it. That’s why it always tastes so great! As you can see by the picture below, it looks EXACTLY like the picture on the menu:

Jay's Triple with Cheese

At this point, your mouth is probably watering, I know, but Jay had to get himself the monster Triple With Cheese burger. I tried to convince him to make it a Six Burger with Cheese for only .99 cents more, but apparently he is still concerned about the heart attack he had last time. One thing I just love about this restaurant is the flawless presentation. Every time we eat here, the meal looks fit for a king.

My Refreshment - I took the plunge, the Nestea Plunge.

Dave's Nestea

When I eat out, I eat out in style. I don’t settle for anything less than the finest Iced Tea available. I’ve been told by those in the circles I run in that 2007 is a fabulous year for Nestea, and now I know how true that is from personal experience.

Jay’s Refreshment

Jay's Pepsi

Jay is a bit of a soda snob, he won’t drink anything but a vintage Pepsi-Cola beverage, so he picked up his regular sized Pepsi from New York Fries. Everyone knows that in a blind taste test, people prefer the taste of Pepsi (or maybe they just like the letter M). So I can’t really fault Jay, even if I am not a cola drinker myself.

Medium Frosty

This tasty cup of chilly edible plastic lived up to its namesake and was the perfect dessert to end a perfect meal. Not only was it presented fabulously, but you could really taste the Carrageenan, Calcium Sulphate, and Disodium Phosphate. I know it hit the spot, because as I write this only an hour later my stomach is already beginning to churn.
Jay didn’t have room for dessert, So instead here are a few pictures of me demonstrating the proper etiquette when dining out at a upper-class establishment such as this one.

The Right Way

Notice the form of my wrist? Be sure to open wide in order to take the largest amount of burger in your mouth as possible. Don’t worry about swallowing, they are usually so greasy that they slide down your gullet with ease - sometimes with little to no chewing at all!

The Wrong Way

The Wrong Way to Eat A burger

First of all, in this picture I’m holding the burger with both hands. This is a huge social faux-pas. Fortunately for you, I’m giving you the heads up, so you can avoid this common, yet embarrassing blunder at your next important lunch meeting. I’m also somewhat slouched with a my head at a slight angle. While not as big of a blunder, in more conservative circles it is considered highly insulting.

The Bill

the bill for our dining

In order to keep costs reasonable, Jay and I went dutch on this meal. I know you’re probably thinking, “while such a fabulous meal is obviously beyond my means, surely either of you could easily afford it”. While this may be true, these types of bills can add up. Every good entrepreneur seeks ways to minimize his expenses, both business and recreational.

This concludes our fine dining experience, and we hope that you enjoyed reading about us eating the food more than we enjoyed eating it (though that would not take very much).

My Name is Dave Saraiva, and I approve of this blog post!

    Dave, that post made me laugh out loud. Maybe because i’ve seen one too many food posts at JC or because it was totally out of the blue. Either way, nice post!

  2. Chee Kui Says:

    Haha! Well, what can I say? It should be named the right way to eat your burger :p

    Don’t worry we’ve had many < 40 days, that was more of a joke than anything :)
