Subject: RE: BS - Ye Olde Greasy Spoon Revisited
Ahh, but Carol...

There are different ranks of greasy spoons just as there are of "better" restaurants. There is the "Piece de crap" greasy spoon, where mere mortals dread to eat. (Those who have not been blessed by Le Bon Dieu with iron stomachs.) Then, a step above, theere is the "Piece de resistance" greasy spoon, with one dish beyond sublime - but don't order anything else. Then, another step above, is the "classique" greasy spoon. This is the typical, well-loved greasy spoon. Then, the greasy spoon "De La Famille" where the environment is, by only a slight stretch of the imaginiation, suitable for children. Then, the best of all, the "Haut Cuisine" greasy spoon.

You were merely confuzzled because Rombos is a "Haut Cuisine" greasy spoon. I hope this little dessertation has cleared any remaining confusion that you may have.
