It’s not just Sears. I splurged a little on dinner out with friends last night, nothing over the top mind you but nice enough. Server seemed bright and didn’t seem new so she had no real excuse. Appetizer, caprese. She actually sounded as if she thought she was correcting me by calling it “Caprice.” Cocktail before dinner, a nice filtered vodka with tonic and lime, they had Ketel One on special so I ordered that. She called it “kee-TELL.” It’s pronounced like “kettle.” They had a nightly special on filet mignon, I asked for lightly seared, mid-rare to medium. It came out butterflied. I know the kitchen staff there aren’t idiots so the very disappointing error was in how she submitted it to them.
Did you also get some “horse-doovers” or “Can-Apes” with your Caprice? :-)
