Beef Hamburgers
May 9th, 2007 by Eryk
So my co-workers and I were talking about the delicious meal we had last night at The Roadhouse Grill when one of them said, “Ooooh, filet mignon!” in the style of Homer Simpson. Only when he said it he actually pronounced it like it was spelled (i.e. fi-let mig-non). This brought up a memory of mine from when a friend told me about the time he was at a Mexican restaurant and a friend of his ordered a quesadilla, pronouncing the L’s! And this in turn led us to discuss our dislike for those who order cheese quesadillas.
Think about it. Queso means cheese in Spanish. So when someone orders a cheese quesadilla they’re pretty much saying, “I’d like a cheese cheesedilla!” That would be like someone going to McDonalds and ordering a beef hamburger! It’s like going to the Roadhouse and saying, “I would like a steak filet mignon please!” So, now that you have read this you are no longer allowed to order cheese quesadillas (in case you have). Furthermore, you are henceforth given permission to laugh and point at anyone you hear order a cheese quesadilla.
That is all.
But, when you are ordering some foods, you need to specify what kind. You don’t just order cake, you order yellow cake, or rainbow chip cake, or chocolate suicide cake. Not just cake. Even though quesadilla has cheese in the name, there are so many variations, that I think it is okay (and necessary) to specify just plain cheese.
So, I say that everyone has permission to laugh and point at you when you order a quesadilla (without more explanation), and you are asked what type.
So, neener.
By the way, Roadhouse House?
I meant the Roadhouse Grill. I was confused by the cheese cheese thing…
