Breakfast at Tom's Restaurant

You go to eat somewhere that's really famous, and friends told you you should go to, you ah, expect the food to be good. And when it turns out to be truly awful, you know, you feel kinda wierd. Like you just got hit in the head by a curveball, but you're padded up to play cricket.

In fact, I have only myself to blame for ordering pancakes with bacon at Tom's Restaurant. I could have left it at that. But when the enthusiastic waiter offered to make a nice cappucino-like drink, apologising for not having an espresso machine -- well, I would have felt like an asshole to turn down the offer. WHACK! I didn't expect the coffee and the maple syrup to taste so similar. Wake up, this food is crap!
