The other day, I walked out of Bass Pro shoulder-to-shoulder with a stranger. He was talking with his buddy on the phone about the dinner his wife had recently ordered for him at a restaurant.
“How was dinner? It was terrible!” He exclaimed. “She beat me to the restaurant and when I arrived she told me that she’d ordered for me. What kind of restaurant serves a beefsteak and tomato salad as an entree? And what kind of restaurant leaves off the steak and instead fills the plate with a heap of giant tomato slices!”
To a red meat loving Midwesterner with an obvious cholesterol problem, it turns out that the difference between a beefsteak and tomato salad and a beefsteak tomato salad is more than just an and.
