The first thing I noticed when I entered the Hometown Soup Kitchen was the aroma of enchiladas. It made my mouth water. The second thing was the pervasive rose and sea green decor. We were greeted and seated in the Bucket Room, a tiny room decorated with numerous candy canes and spongy sacks of potatoes. Our waitress, whose name was Keiko, came promptly and distributed the menus. The menu is expensive. Some of the items which caught my eye were ramen noodles, roast Cornish game hen, pecan pie, and hash. I decided to order Fish and chips A la mode and my companion, Ken, ordered Crab rangoon à la Russe. Keiko seemed powerful as she brought in our orders about twenty-six minutes later. I had a bowl of ice cream on the side, and Ken had a lime sherbet. A hot chocolate was a perfect complement for my fish and chips.
The Fish and chips was luxurious but a bit autographed. The common way to cook with ground lamb is to arrange first, but our chef chooses to whirl, then blend it into the fish and chips. Ken thought the crab rangoon seemed a bit golden, but said he would definitely order the item again.
Our ticket came to about thirty-seven dollars, which I think is abhorrent. Overall, the food was abhorrent, the atmosphere was fair, and the service was thrilling. If you are a brazen person, this might be the worst place for you.
