Right at the end of the block from our house is a bar and restaurant that has a special for Tuesday $11 Chicken Parmigiana (normally $17.50) and Wednesday $12 Porterhouse Steaks (normally $23). Last week we tried the steak and today we tried the Chicken Parmigiana. Each time it's served with salad and chips, aka french fries. So today I couldn't finish the Chicken Parmigiana so when the server came around we asked for a "take away" box only to be told that they can't do take aways.
Um...say what?
So she explains that they're not licensed to do take aways but she could bring us serviettes and just don't let her see us take food away. She just couldn't provide us with a box or bag. We said okay....not really sure what a serviette was at the time.
She comes back with 3 napkins. Oh, THAT'S what serviettes are.
We go up to the bar to pay and ask about this whole not-allowed-to-do-take-aways. Apparently you're required to have a license to allow take aways for both food and drinks. The thought is that people may take food away and forget to refrigerate it properly and get sick then goes after the restaurant.
We're still reeling from the fact that we couldn't take the food that we'd already ordered and partially eaten at the restaurant.....because the government forbids it.
Anthony is loving the states more and more.....
