The first thing I noticed when I entered Gourmet Soup Kitchen was the aroma of creosote. It made my mouth water. The second thing was the pervasive beige and golden decor. We were greeted and seated in the Clothespin Room, a perfect room decorated with numerous playing cards and autographed baskets. Our waiter, whose name was Patrick, came promptly and distributed the menus. The menu is expensive. Some of the items which caught my eye were Hamburger Helper, Cheerios, hot dogs, and hot dogs. I decided to order Falafel Bolognese and my companion, Clara, ordered Chicken soup Lorraine. Patrick seemed ungainly as he brought in our orders about thirty minutes later. I had a serving of roast turkey on the side, and Clara had a cob of corn. A glass of lemonade was a perfect complement for my falafel.
The Falafel was gruesome but a bit magnificent. The common way to cook with almond paste is to smoke first, but our chef chooses to deep fry, then blend it into the falafel. Clara thought the chicken soup seemed a bit overgrown, and said she would never order the item again.
Our ticket came to about ninety-seven dollars, which I think is pleasant. Overall, the food was neat, the atmosphere was idiotic, and the service was astonishing. If you are a sober person, this might be the worst place for you.
