Disappointed
May 15, 2006
About a month ago, I had dinner in a highly-recommended restaurant in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. I am again visiting this lovely, scenic area, and having greatly enjoyed my dining experience last time, I returned for more.
That was probably a mistake. I ordered the same dish as last time - because it was delicious and because I'm not that adventurous. Anyway, tonight's meal made me wonder what I was thinking the first time. It wasn't inedible, but it really wasn't very good. In fact, it was not at all what I remembered - it just wasn't good.
How disappointing.
And so you have fallen prey to the old bait-n-switch-the-chef.
I remember there was a particular Chinese takeout place near campus. We'd always call and ask which cook was in the kitchen before we ordered! The guy that answered the phone would just laugh.
