We were on our way to Bread Winners for Sunday brunch, but decided to eat at Jake’s after seeing the massive line out front. Little did we know things have gone down— way down— over at Jake’s on McKinney.
No, you are not mistaken. Jake’s really has been awarded 2nd place for the saddest piece of cheese to ever be served in a restaurant. While the cheese on the tuna melt at Liberty Kitchen in Houston remains solidly in 1st place, Jake’s is not far behind.
I’m just wondering how the kitchen sent this out. Every cook within 48 feet had to have seen the terrifying earthquake-like crack running through the center of this scary slice of sadness. Not only was the cheese an insult to acceptable cheese everywhere, the edges had heat lamp burn all over the place. Part of the cheese seemed old and cold, while the rest was simply frightened. P.S. Jake’s was not busy. There were no more than six tables inside and out.
It’s really weird to look at another person you’re having lunch with and watch their face morph into a look of being traumatized by their food. This is not something I would recommend anyone attempt to see. The person across from me had none other than a piece of hair inside his mouth. After a full blown hair-in-his-food investigation, it has been proven that there was a curly hair in his non-curly fries and inside his mouth. This makes a total of two hairs. That’s right. It seems unlikely, but I am here to tell you that I witnessed a person having total stranger hair anguish on Sunday.
Our server soon took the tainted fries back to the kitchen and returned with a new batch. This did not provide sudden comfort to the hair eater at our table. Once there is a stranger’s hair inside your mouth and on food you have ordered, um, it is pretty much impossible to move on with your life until you leave. No matter how new something is, forget it. All thoughts go back to being victimized by two pieces of stranger hair. Nobody likes being a victim of stranger hair or scary cheese. It’s just not right.
FIVE: High 5!
FOUR: Please & Thank You
THREE: Yada
TWO: Double Wow
ONE: Wow + Ouch = Wouch
