The first thing I noticed when I entered the Beautiful Emporium was the aroma of onions. It made my mouth water. The second thing was the pervasive azure and amber decor. We were greeted and seated in the Hair dryer Room, a small room decorated with numerous advertisements and stiff hockey pucks. Our waitress, whose name was Barb, came promptly and distributed the menus. The menu is expensive. Some of the items which caught my eye were country glazed ham, oatmeal, chicken pot pie, and macaroni. I decided to order Burritos Alla Cappuccina and my companion, Nan, ordered Waffles Venetian. Barb seemed witty as she brought in our orders about forty-four minutes later. I had a serving of scrambled eggs on the side, and Nan had an enchilada. A Shirley Temple was a perfect complement for my burritos.
The Burritos was smooth but a bit speckled. The common way to cook with shortening is to bake at 450 degrees F first, but our chef chooses to shake, then blend it into the burritos. Nan thought the waffles seemed a bit damaged, and said she would never order the item again.
Our ticket came to about one hundred eighteen dollars, which I think is superb. Overall, the food was preposterous, the atmosphere was dazzling, and the service was pedestrian. If you are a stern person, this might be the worst place for you.
