Capitol Grill - Counterpoint

[CLOSED]

Yeah, the food was average and so was everybody else in the restaurant. I didn't see a fatcat or a peacock in the whole joint. Most people there knew other folks there. The WSFA noon report was on, but nobody was paying any attention. Background music was a local radio station. Duct tape was holding a lot of the place together. Folks from all walks of life were there at the Capitol Grill, getting along. The waitresses did a great job. The price was right. For 45 minutes I patronized a family-owned business, did a little political schmoozing, heard some gross conversation, brainstormed an intriguing business idea and yes, I had some bland food. All-in-all a damn fine lunch I'd say.

  1. OK. I get it, if the place is run by good hardworking honest folks who are unpretentious it does not matter what the food tastes like....

  2. Every so often you need to get a haircut in a real barber shop. Your hair may end up looking like hell, but... you know what I'm saying.
