12. Angry Omelets

OK, for a few years now my sister has raged about how the hospital next to where I live cooks the best omelets every Monday night. She has been going since 2002. Anyhow today was the last day they were going to do it for the year. They apparently don't do it during the month of December. I had never been and my sister though that it was the perfect time for me to be inaugurated into the tradition. I had absolutely no idea that this would be much more than just a simple dinner.

My sister and her friend love to heckle the chef and he lovingly shouted back at them. I didn't know that this was their tradition and that he practically yells at everyone. That was apparently the allure of omelet night, to get yelled at by omelet man. I will admit despite his "anger" he was hilarious. It took me a while before I realized that the man actually wasn't angry he just did it for a show. Then I started laughing.

Most of his comments were directed at couples. He would specifically target the guys and make them know that they were whipped or that they were better looking than the other guy that came through with their girl the last time. I apparently was too slow in choosing what went into my omelet.

I have never been to something quite like this before. I have to admit that I really did have a fun time and the food was excellent. I just have to think of something that I can say back next time.
