PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"Guess where I ate lunch today?" |
LAST EDITED ON 02-28-06 AT 04:52 PM (EST)None other than "Sunny's", owned by Summer Zervos. It was really nothing more than a glorified Denny's. Things I liked: 1) I was sat at a large round booth for just me and my newspaper
2) My iced tea came with a refill-it-yourself carafe
3) There were postcards from different places around the world stapled to parts of the ceiling in the dining room
4) Decor was nice - sort of Victorian
5) Location - set on the street side, although no signage on the shared main sign.
6) After arguing with my server on whether my sandwich came with bacon, the bacon was cooked just as I specified Things I did not like: 1) $13 + tip for a chicken sandwich/ salad/ iced tea
2) Fuzzy televisions mounted to the corners of the dining room
3) Salad dressing tasted like Roseanne stole it from Rodbell's
4) Server never checked in on me Summer was not there, but there was an overzealous waitress who kept asking the patrons (who were obviously regulars) if they saw the show last night, and kept referring to "how funny it was". It seemed she likes Summer and kept referring to how cool it was that she made it onto TV when so many others don't even get that far. As I was paying my bill at the front counter, there was an outgoing letter on the counter with "Zervos" on the return label, along with the complete mailing address. I guess they're not too concerned about stalkers, since the place was only about 25% full at 12:15pm (isn't that the lunch "rush"?). I think that her family owns the restaurant - not her individually. It may have even been her mother that I paid at the front counter. I wish I could've seen her go farther in the competition. But, judging from my restaurant experience - and the lack of management evident I am surprised she made it on the show at all. Hoobie
P.S. I've never had a flaming post, and would love it if this were my first!

LAST EDITED ON 02-28-06 AT 06:51 PM (EST)Hi again, I suspect we're in different generations... the Prison of Socrates closed in the late 60's, I was really young then, couldn't get in but my brother did, along with his prized Martin guitar. Tim sang folk music but had to give it up because of problems with his hands. He was at the forefront of the SoCal folk music scene back in the early 60's. If you google The Prison of Socrates, you can read about the history. It was right on - I believe - 17th street on the Peninsula, right next to the beach. (That street where the ferry lets off.) The coffeehouse I'm referring to was right on Pacific Coast Highway... it had a very cool name. It was a way cool place back in the 60's. Kind of a folk/beatnik place. I'll bet Puffy, Molaholic or Foonermints remember - they're on other forums here, all live in L.A. long-term. ETA: just go to timmorgon.com - if you google The Prison unfortunately good links are gone. Found them last year, but they're gone. Tim's mother still lives on Balboa Island - she's in her 90's. You can hear a couple clips of his music here. A nice though brief description of his background... ...and I finally remembered the name of the concert house (not a coffeehouse or restaurant) it was called The Golden Bear and was torn down in the late 80's.

But I have to agree with DooWah-if I lived in SoCal, I'd go to her restaurant, even after hearing about the crappy service you got. Heck, I live right near tempe and am tempted to go and stalk that survivor guy who is from there.
