The first thing I noticed when I entered the Beautiful Food Factory was the aroma of Pine-Sol. It made my eyes water. The second thing was the pervasive aquamarine and sea green decor. We were greeted and seated in the Doily Room, a magnificent room decorated with numerous dictionaries and tiny necklaces. Our waitress, whose name was Stephanie, came promptly and distributed the menus. The menu is extensive. Some of the items which caught my eye were smoked salmon, ramen noodles, mulligan stew, and dry toast. I decided to order Mushroom quiche Du Jour and my companion, Sandi, ordered French fries Napoleon. Stephanie seemed homely as she brought in our orders about twenty-three minutes later. I had a plate of prime rib on the side, and Sandi had a piece of Swiss cheese. A margarita was a perfect complement for my mushroom quiche.
The Mushroom quiche was ancient but a bit charming. The common way to cook with flour is to broil first, but our chef chooses to braise, then blend it into the mushroom quiche. Sandi thought the French fries seemed a bit autographed, and said she would never order the item again.
Our ticket came to about fifty-two dollars, which I think is wondrous. Overall, the food was ghastly, the atmosphere was fabulous, and the service was appalling. If you are a decent person, this might not be the ideal place for you.
