Recipients:
Matthew and Audrey, The Irish Snug, Capitol Hill
My insistent hunger plus a craving for Guinness steak tips drove us out of the house in a hurry, hoping to get to the restaurant in enough time so we wouldn't be those customers.
You know the ones: they saunter in ten minutes before closing, order a house salad and tap water, then stay for two hours. (Actually, this worst case scenario is only a guess because I've never worked in food service. Feel free to set the record straight.)
The Snug did not have steak tips -- and dear Snug management, please tell me this is a temporary, pandemic-fueled decision and not a permanent change -- but it did have Matthew and Audrey.
They put delicious food and drink in front of us with great haste and and smiles behind their masks. Matthew was also responsible for cueing up "I Can't Go For That (No Can Do)" by BSA fan favorites, Hall and Oates.
Friendly service at The Irish snug, in an Irish snug.*
Win-win.
