Would you go back?

A roach in a Mexican restaurant in the desert is not unheard of. But don't stomp on it and squish its guts out while I'm enjoying my beefy burrito..

I'm glad you think its beef, but since the government has standards for how much rodent hair can be in hot dogs -and other similar contaminates- we can never really be sure. This may have contributed to the creation of such maxims as Ignorance is Bliss, and I aspire to a blissful meal every time I dine out.

True story. Several years ago two couples were having Sunday brunch at a fashionable Chicago Rush Street eatery. A large omelet was presented to my companion at the time. As she was approaching the omelet with her fork, a large roach emerged from under the omelet. Totally out of character, she looked at the three of us and said, “I’m going to pretend like that didn’t happen”. She continued to move in with her fork when upon a second cockroach emerged from under the omelette. I was watching this across the table with disbelief but, fork in hand, I impaled the second cockroach in the middle of her plate. My recollection of what followed is less clear but I do recall some mayhem with several screams from our table, additional diners around us, overturned chairs, a completely undone service staff and the four of us (maybe more?) departing the restaurant unfed to look for another restaurant. Haven’t been back. 

And you have no TikTok video to share with the class!?! Mon Dieu!

I wish. The memory is indelible but alas, it preceded TikTok by several years.

I'm sure some of the chips served with salsa occasionally fall on the floor and attract coach roaches... I've never seen any of them in a restaurant in DC but this isn't the desert.

I would go back!
