Feasting with FAA

[olds442jetaway]

Steep! Definitely! They are all getting up there. Restaurants up here are closing left and right. No help, high costs, skyrocketing rent, even high wages and advertising. When they cut quality, portions, and staff, to try and make up for it, they are finished.

Another county heard from. Okay, point taken. I do vaguely remember this etiquette point. The Tony's staff weren't exactly gems, either. Three times older and crankier. They brought out courses too fast. I know it's not fine dining, but I find it hostile and aggressive. I may have to retreat to the comforts of a casino restaurant next time. Their people are usually a level above, excluding the likely beleaguered buffet staff.

Always tip the buffet staff. Never leave cash on the table, always hand it to your primary server.

Ah, yup.....

Ditto!

I learned that Breadsticks TAC participation excludes Saturday. So I settled into Youyu Noodle Bar at Hard Rock. Waitress was ignorant about TAC. I approached the hostess, who unearthed the menu. I must be their first taker all month. Youyu can’t make it up. They only offered three soups for a mere four dollar savings. Malaysian Curry Beef Brisket and Vietnamese Sluced Flank Pho did not appeal. The Cantonese Shrimp and Pork Wonton Noodle Soup was great, with asparagus and scallions. The decor is relaxing yet bright. Even the murals resemble the approach with Kwi at Caesars. People were feasting and burning through their casino comps as expected.

How do you say gratuity in Cantonese?

Great pics of the walls. The soup looks identical to what I get at Bizarro from the new Asian restaurant with my use of lose food credits. I’m sure it is loaded with sodium, but you just can’t stop eating it! The MRS and I will be ordering some this Thursday. The portion they give you is for 2. Or about 2 bowls of the FAA soup. Up here it is called Sunrise Food Court.

Yes, they really invested in the ambiance. Many tables are just off the path. I was careful to get something interior for some privacy and dignity. Interesting. I had a large bowl, almost six inches high. I would hope that mine is of higher quality a step up from a food court offering. Of course it was hard to justify $20 for a bowl of soup. But I wanted to get out of my comfort zone and see what’s out there. Similar brusque wait staff. It’s a hard job, especially on weekends. But once again, utterly clueless about a promotion with high restaurant participation all month. The fact that these menus were buried by the kitchen entrance tells me that they are dead set against any discount scheme cooked up by some committee. At Tony’s, they are in the table front and center. I have a notion to return Saturday and split from Boardwalk South. Put the damn casino in my rear view ASAP. I find the play to be favorable mornings, including that mighty RF.

Not that it matters, but I think the vegetable in our soups is Chinese broccoli and of course scallions with it

Max coin on full pay still out there!

[FAA]

Yes, that resulted in my max RF. Unfortunately, my subsequent quad deuces was a regression to the minimum.
