I met the gals today for lunch at Tender Greens in Culver City, a great little place that serves local, organic salads and lunch plates.
What I enjoy about this restaurant is that the food actually tastes like food. I had the chinese chicken salad and - instead of being lettuce drowned in some overly-sweet dressing - the dressing was light, and I could actually taste the spicy greens they used. My friend ordered a salad with heirloom tomatoes so juicy and bright they looked like candy.
We sat on an outside patio and had a lovely lunch. After our plates were cleared and we were sipping our iced teas, a busboy came up and told us they needed our table for a party of seven.
It was a bit strange - I've never been so hastily disposed of at a restaurant - but we figured it's a busy place, so we moved to a table in the front for a few minutes until we were ready to leave.
Before driving home, I decided to hit the restroom. As I did, I passed the guy who kicked us off our table for that "party of seven" which, as it turned out, WAS HIM!!
I suppose a better woman would have been appalled, perhaps complained to management. I just laughed, reported back to my friends (who also laughed)..and then I paid my friend Mary Jo a dollar to go take his picture.
Here he is:
I can hardly begrudge him the table - he looks so happy!

Haha interesting. People do make a life a little easier to handle with their antics.

Yeah, but he had bumped three previous women so we could have that table in the first place (and they were just diving into their scrumptious salads). I thanked those women, (who were very pleasant considering having to haul their greens to another table), and practically kissed the busboy's sturdy knuckles. He made my day. I thought it was so responsible, so beyond the usual busboy job description, I tipped him $2. Didn't realize it was all in a day's work for them.
