Happy birthday to my mom meant a fun art day and a "quick" family lunch at The Ram at Kent Station. And by quick I mean the world's slowest service you have ever ever seen in your entire life. My sister was quoted over ONE HOUR after walking in as saying, "I've changed my mind... I think we'll get served faster at Duke's."
For me, The Ram brings back glory days of my college years. Right across the street from Willamette University's campus where I lived and breathed for 5 years of my life, I have had many a Ram burger... and it's where I was introduced to my first (of many) Long Island Iced Teas. I don't do those anymore. Really... not kidding. But for me, The Ram = amazing burger and wonderful food.
Except I don't really like burgers anymore. Well, as I think I've said before, it's more that burgers don't like me.
So The Critic and I decided to split a steak sandwich with au jus to dip it in and a side of onion rings (most of which went the the critic for the same reason as above... they don't like me very much). So I ordered a nice little side salad as well. And I never got it.
Oh well... in this case it was definitely the PEOPLE who counted, not the food. Happy birthday, Mom. Maybe next time we really will go to Duke's.
