“Family, we’re dining out tonight.”
“Where, Mom? Big Boy? Eat ‘n’ Park? Steak Town?”
“We should try something different. There’s a new restaurant in Plum Borough called Taco Los Mexicanos.”
“What kind of food is that, Mom?”
“It’s Mexican.”
“Eeeewwww! What kind of food do they eat? Little hamburgers with sombreros?”
“Don’t be silly, Jimmy. I heard about it from Mrs. Schramm. It’s all the rage these days, going to ethnic restaurants. There’s a new Chinese restaurant called the Plastic Pagoda opening on Rodi Road. And a Japanese restaurant with real-life warriors brandishing swords while they cook your steak and shrimp in front of you, it’s opening up on Beulah Road. This one’s at 735 Verona Road. You can have tacos and Mexican jumping beans and guacamole?”
“What’s Gwackermoldy?”
“It’s guacamole and it’s a delicious green sauce made out of avocados. Yummy!”
“Eeeewwww! I want to go to Eat ‘n’ Park.”
Pittsburgh days.
