The air must be really thin up there on Dead Body Mountain. Governor “Boy I Really Nailed This Thing” Cuomo took some time out from his victory lap over having the highest per capita death rate in the country to issue yet another dictate. From here on out, restaurants must not serve alcohol to patrons unless said patrons also order food.

I get what you are saying, but we are not the same country as when “freedom fries” were in vogue. We are probably less free than France right now.
I prefer something like Farce Fries, but I am open to suggestions.
One can also order:
Tyranny Tacos.
Onerous Onion Rings.
Bondage Buffalo Wings
I do believe I could buy Manhattan for $23 and some beads from this guy.
My Martini comes with a gosh dang Olive!
The old bars used to put out free salty stuff.
Hey! A bloody Mary is dinner!
When will the National Restahreant Association get off their ass and start suing?
Exactly - I’d like a side of bacon and shrimp skewers... and put them in the damn bloody Mary!
Oh hell yeah!
LOL!
Disappointingly, Governor Abbott is doing the same thing here in Texas.
