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
