Saturday Night

Sales

The Sailor and Graffiti Artist visit Pokes’ Chapo Trap House for a Star Trap and a Bat Trap respectively, and a couple of bottles of water. Clucky takes $12 and $12, plus $6 for drinks.

The Phone Puzzler and Bricklayer crack open their drinks and have a long conversation about tesselation, while waiting for Finest Grill to heat up two signature Mixed Grills, having dismissed their initial plan of Chicken Shawarma Wraps. Applebane takes $10 and $10, plus $6 for drinks and $6 in tips.

The Photographer and Fisherman hit Grill Noir for a Beefy, Saucy Wrap and a Beef, Lamby Sauce, but while the first is being ordered the Fisherman excuses himself and steps away to Pokes’ Chapo Trap House instead to get the slightly cheaper No Trap, in a little wicker cage. Eternalservererror takes $18, plus $3 for a drink. Clucky takes $18, plus $3 for a drink.

The Gambler and Conspiracy Theorist arrive at Melody’s Dine and Wine but find the shutters down and only a Sign for Beefy, Saucy Wrap and a Sign for Beef, Lamby Sauce. The Gambler shrugs and walks on to Grill Noir to take her chances with a cheaper Beefy, Saucy Wrap, but the Conspiracy Theorist shakes his head suspiciously, heading back to pitch 20 for the No Trap at Pokes’ Chapo Trap House. Eternalservererror takes $18, plus $3 for a drink. Clucky takes $18, plus $3 for a drink.

The Boardgamer and the Cosplay Wizard walk up to Pokes’ Rice and Beans for The Traditional and The Woolly Muenster. JonathanDark takes $10 and $14, plus a $3 tip for the Muenster.

The Nomic Player and the Storyteller stop at the Pokes’ Rice and Beans next door, and speculate about why they have the same name but very different menus. They squint at the font on the sign but it seems to be identical. They order two portions of very lightly garnished Doongara Rice. DoomedIdeas takes $13 and $13, plus $6 in tips.

The Life Coach gives the Burglar some hard home truths in the queue at Ye Olde Lemon. They’re planning to pick up two Chork Wraps, but the Burglar, having scoped out Pokes’ Rice and Beans earlier in the evening, suggests going back there for the cheaper Coffee Beans instead. DoomedIdeas takes $13 and $13, plus $6 in tips.

The City Planner and the Machinist walk up to Edible Things for a Non-Signature Dish and A List of One to Three Ingredients. The City Planner shakes their head at the confusing signage, pointing out that the first is simply a Large Tortilla that they can get from Shish-Kababa for less. The Machinist shrugs, and shucks an oyster. With 6% of dishes containing oysters tonight, it’s not perfect, but it’s very good. Desertfrog takes $20 plus an $8 tip. Trapdoorspyder takes $15.

The Snail Farmer and the Genetic Engineer are quite drunk, and having some wild ideas. They stop at Shish-Kababa for two Pork Chicken Wraps, but convince one another to try the cheaper Beans and Rice at one of the Pokes’ Rice and Beans franchises instead. DoomedIdeas takes $11 and $11.

The Signwriter and the Gravedigger walk up to The Constellation, discussing typefaces, and pick up two tubs of Extra Cheese Sauce. Arthexis takes $9 and $9, plus $6 in tips.

The Copywriter and the Architect are full of praise for The Good Food, its menu a masterpiece of misdirection and its paint job sympathetic to the area around the yard. They order two Chicken Caesars. Vovix takes $20 and $20, plus $6 in tips.

The Fishmonger and the Hacker meet at (Probably) Very Nice Food on the way to the docks. They order a CheeseBurger and some Brie, although the Fishmonger thinks an expensive soft cheese is probably overkill - they suggest a cheaper Side of Cheese from Shish-Kababa instead. Lawnomos takes $16 and a $3 tip. Trapdoorspyder takes $15 and a $3 tip.

Correction: Vovix didn’t actually receive $6 in tips, as the ordered dishes didn’t contain any cheese. (What kind of Caesar salads are these?)
