We made a trip to the casino on Wednesday. Don't ask! I lost about 1/3 of my casino bankroll. Since I came out ahead on the last trip, I'm still all set for my next high-rolling visit! The Pony lost a bit, but Hick came out $100 ahead! Good for him. That's hard to do while low-rolling.
We ate a late lunch at the grill inside the casino. The Pony and Hick both ordered cheesecake, which they eat before the regular food arrives at the table. I felt really sorry for The Pony, who never gets the cheesecake.
Than sliver of cheesecake cost $3.99. I am not impressed. That restaurant robbed The Pony worse than the slots!
Of course we have to talk about the food. Hick had the Smothered Pork Po' Boy. You may recall that I tried to get that last time we were there, without smothering the Po' Boy. Here's what mine looked like back then:
I swore they just slapped a miniscule amount of pulled pork on there, under the onions, and charged me the $11.99 instead of the $5.99 (I just checked the menu for the price) for a pulled pork sandwich. They gave me a SADwich! Yeah, I already complained about it back then. Sorry. I must complain again. I can't let it go! Seeing Hick's Pork Loin Po' Boy this time got me fired up again!
That does not even resemble what I was given! It's not just the gravy. Hick was served a Pork Loin RICH Boy! Notice that you can see actual slabs of MEAT on his sandwich. You can hardly see the roll. His fills a whole cardboard serving container! They put his curly fries in a separate container. NOW you can see why this infuriates me! Good thing Hick had let me go gamble while waiting for the food to arrive. So I was more mellow than I'd have been after sitting idle while waiting to see this travesty of food service!
The Pony had his usual burger:
He took off the top bun and fixin's to add mayo and ketchup. The Pony has given up the black nail polish, and on this trip was wearing Golden Eye. So it's actually nail polish, and not a fungus or diseased nail on his pointing finger. In the background, you can see Hick digging into his separate-container curly fries.
I had the Philly Cheesesteak:
Now THAT's a sandwich! Not sure who decided to dice the green pepper into such tiny cubes. This sandwich requires a fork for eating, and the long onions could be forked just fine, but those pepper nubbins kept falling off. Still, it was a tasty sandwich.
As I mentioned, I did not leave the casino a winner. However, I DID find a new game that I like.
I hit a few bonus games on it, but NOT the major or that progressive jackpot above it. I will definitely play this one again next time. I probably WON'T order the Pork Loin Po' Boy.
I'm guessing most people don't go to the casino for the food, but that was a pretty weak looking sandwich from your last trip.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the VALidation! It was worse, because the server brought out that SADwich with an attitude, after first trying to bring me a pulled pork on Texas Toast. Not what I ordered, not what I paid for. Although in retrospect, I should have taken it, because it had more meat!
Deleteand possibly less spit!
DeleteSPIT was the best scenario, considering what could have been done to my SADwich out of sight in the kitchen!
DeleteGlad you got a decent amount of meat this time! No winnings just means you are due to win soon.
ReplyDeleteAs a matter of fact, I had a bit of scratcher luck...
DeleteI thought that was your finger pointing at the burger. The Pony has delicate hands and beautiful fingernails. (sitting here looking at my own stumpy fingers with the forever broken nails)
ReplyDeleteEveryone's food looks good this time, except for that gelatinous gravy mess on Hick's. It looks positively gluey. Probably tasted better than it looks.
The Pony's fingers are better-groomed than mine! But his hands are dry and cracking from weather exposure at work.
DeleteHick likes gravy. Me, not so much.
Ever notice how the staff caters to the guys? When we enter an establishment, the waitress always addresses HIM. Gives HIM more fries, pickles etc.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, that is a fun machine when those pots spin and spill.
I HAVE noticed that. Maybe because they figure he is the one giving the tip!
DeleteYes, this slot is new down in Cape. I checked them all to see which one had the bag filled the most before I sat down to play! It's different at different denominations.
Get him some good quality hand cream, something that contains almond oil or cocoa butter.
ReplyDeleteThe Pony has a big bottle of lotion I bought at Country Mart. I've been borrowing it for my rash. He says it works. Sometimes he puts it on as soon as he gets home, before the 2-hour nightly soak in the big triangle tub in the master bathroom. Which probably doesn't help.
