The Special of the House

The Special of the House By Elton Camp Depending on the restaurant’s name Some dishes seem a dubious claim Take as an example the Vegan Café “Order hamburger cooked your way” Or one called China’s Finest Cuisine Claiming, “Our taco’s the best seen” The McDonald’s you’d surely pass If it offers “pheasant under glass” I wouldn’t consider even in the least The local steakhouse’s “seafood feast” The Thai place I would greatly fear That says, “Come for French fries here” Then think about the Captain D’s “Our spaghetti is sure to please” What about the local Chik-Fillet “Come and buy some beef today” The sign at Chico’s Mexican Café “Best pizza in town.” No way! So when you decide you’ll eat out Of such claims, have serious doubt
