ELV’s Thought for the Day

August 06, 2012 By: John Curtas Category: Thought for the Day

I never eat in a restaurant that’s over a hundred feet off the ground and won’t stand still. – Calvin Trillin

The farther off the ground you get, the worse the food is, with airplanes being the best example. – Russell Baker

    Until you get served a perfectly round piece of tuna covered in yogurt and topped with cherries like I did years ago, the pic above actually looks OK.

    Isn’t Vegas a great exception to this rule? Eiffel Tower, Top of the World, Mix immediately come to mind.

    Is that airline food or hospital food?

    Thats an airplane coach meal–about 20 years ago. Today’s meals, only served in first class domestically, are manufactured at the Purina Dog Chow factory in Omaha.
