I dont think the chef was so much grumpy I think he was more curious.<BR/><BR/>Hi Ali-K - What a great idea, next time I'm going to use your excuse, that will get them off my back quick smart. The picnic was canceled. 46C is was too hot to be standing around in the sun. But a new date is going to be set soon, keep an eye out on the syrup and tang website! Hope to see you there!<BR/><BR/>Hi Arwen - Not egg-plant heaven so much...for me that would involved egg plant in every course....including dessert! :D I've decided to always ask the wait staff before taking any photos, I think this kinda ease's the weirdness....but I think in this situation it only just drew more attention on us.Maria@TheGourmetChallengehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15151377276441364679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1747317770633936693.post-86733900816304341882009-02-13T13:22:00.000+11:002009-02-13T13:22:00.000+11:00Sounds like eggplant-lover's heaven!

As she was dying to eat there we took photos to show what they were missing. Nothing like a little flattery to get the grumpy chef onside.<BR/><BR/>How did the doughnuts go at the picnic?Ali-Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09746047851798113286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1747317770633936693.post-67664585079209932342009-02-11T21:25:00.000+11:002009-02-11T21:25:00.000+11:00Mmm that tagliatelle and ragu reminds me of a beau...Mmm that tagliatelle and ragu reminds me of a beautiful dish I had here recently. <BR/><BR/>What a grumpy chef! Sounds like what I experienced at a cafe here. Puts a bit of a damper on the meal and put me off going back to the place.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
