Had the Mail not referred to it as a "Breastaurant" (ugh) I wouldn't have caught it. I was wondering the same thing - hardly a family type establishment. However I've just googled and there are plenty in my area. Guess I've never been.

Tipping

Please just put it in the bill itself, don't make it be some "moral obligation" I have to adhere to. I'd rather get my own food from the cook but you won't let me.

Who is more disgusting, the one who makes the joke, or the one who gets it?

I'll give you my seat, but you have to do my work.
