Observer’s Scott Reitz named his five favorite places to eat alone in this week’s print edition. Local, Mesa, Bolsa, Yutaka, and Taco Stop made the Lonely List, but who actually ventures out to a restaurant by themselves these days? Anyone who does is either a sketchy guy picking up chicks or glued to their iPhone 4s screen and secretly talking dirty to Siri.
“Siri, how do you like the steak?”
“What do you think of the waiter, Siri?”
“Siri, your microphone icon is lookin’ sexy tonight.”
A better title for your column, Mr. Reitz, would be “Five Places to Take Your Phone Out on a Date.” That means you need a fifth restaurant, though, because it’s pretty impossible to eat tacos and touch your phone at the same time.
Editor’s Note: Please come back after you pick up your sense of humor from the dry cleaner’s! Have a nice weekend.
SideDish @scottreitz I question people who eat out alone and commenters are bashing me for it. bit.ly/y6COek #nobodycantakeajoke
Scott Reitz @DSideDish Siri is a shit date anyway. She doesn’t put out.
SideDish @scottreitz Sounds like you have some experience, eh?
Scott Reitz @DSideDish try. It’s funny. She’ll tell you “she’s not that kind of assistant.”
