A few weeks ago my friend Kristin<\/a> was planning this months GNO and set up a poll so we could vote between Trudy’s and something else. I picked the something else without ANY hesitation. I lost. They picked Trudy’s.<\/p>\n

Please, don’t get me wrong. I LOVE a good Mexican Martini and Trudy’s does a FABulous job. Charlie and I were talking about going JUST for one (or three), not long before GNO was planned.<\/p>\n

ALL MINE!<\/p><\/div>\n

However, I’m not a big Trudy’s fan and I have good reason. They called me a FIRE HAZARD. Yes, you read that right.<\/p>\n

It was about 10-11 years ago and Charlie and I decided to go out for a late dinner on NYE. We picked Trudy’s.<\/p>\n

They were packed, but we came in at a good time. There were only 2-3 groups ahead of us. The wait wouldn’t be long. So we thought.<\/p>\n

We waited. People were seated. We waited. People BEHIND us were seated. More people behind us were seated, and even thirty minutes later people that JUST came in were being seated and we WERE NOT.<\/p>\n

I went up to the hostess stand and asked if we had been forgotten\/overlooked and was informed that NO they had NOT overlooked us but were, in fact, waiting for an appropriate place to seat me because I was fire hazard and if there was a fire I would be in the way of all the people trying to get out.<\/p>\n

EXCUSE ME!????<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

We looked at each other with a “did she REALLY just say that?” look.<\/p>\n

We informed her that if there was a FIRE, I WOULD BE LEAVING, TOO and she needed to seat us IMMEDIATELY or else we would be reporting her to a manager.<\/p>\n

We got the BIGGEST corner table (you know, the one that can seat 8? 10?) and that was the last time I ever went back.<\/p>\n

Oh. Wait. There was the one time I went on my birthday for a FREE Mexican Martini.<\/p>\n
