 DD>> Two reviews from Foursquare: "This is a target rich environment in

 NB>> The first comment does make one wonder which/what talent might have

 DD> One of my favourites comments was: "Girls, the sporran is supposed to

Girls aren't supposed to wear sporrans anyway... theirs is only a
facsimile, which might as well be worn at the side, like a shoulder
purse, I suppose... ;)

One would think that that should be the case pretty much anywhere...
but, I suppose it's just as likely that there would be some less astute
customers around to keep places that that going, at least for while...

 DD>>> "Papa Frank's" 
 DD>> Got to be better than the Kilt.   Bv)=
 NB>> Sounds like almost anything would have to be better than the
 NB>> Kilt.... ;0

 DD> I'll bet the wait staff are more modestly dressed. Not a bare midriff

No doubt...  ;)

 DD> Next strip mall over is a newish Oriental place called Mimosa which I
 DD> have been wanting to try. But, they're about as far from me as they can

 DD> still 'sploring. 

My main gripe about Vietnamese is their emphasis on raw veggies, which I
have some arguments with my tummy about...  or perhaps that should be
other way round... It's the tummy that objects mostly, anyway... ;) 
Just had some nice pho (noodle soup) yesterday at a Vietnamese/Thai
place... The hot broth cooked the raw bean sprouts and fresh basil
leaves enough to keep the tummy from arguing about it...  :)

 DD> According the the reviews the food is pretty OK but the wait staff is
 DD> iffy. We'll see what the UDD review is when I finally make it there.

Maybe by then the wait staff will have straightened out some... :)

 DD> Title: Vietnamese Pho
 DD> Serves 4. *
 DD> * This quantity of servings looks suspiciously small
 DD> given the quantity of ingredients - UDD

Not necessarily... considering that what was served to me was in what
one would normally consider a large serving bowl... it is, after all,
the main dish....  :)   And, was, at least to me, surprisingly not very
filling...
