F*CK ME! I've just been invited by the President of the conference I'm attending in NYC to a VIP dinner at Morimoto's.

Posted by Mop (196 lbs) (aka rburriel) Feb 13 '12, 11:03

I'll say I've definitely earned the honor. On the other hand, I've already committed to something else that night. But this is *MORIMOTO*'s restaurant! Yet, despite my love for Iron Chef, I doubt I could eat a single thing they serve on that show (I have an extremely delicate stomach). I think I'm going to blow them off.

go and just tell them whatever your dietary thing is - they can create something on the fly easily - just look at the menu options - they have tons of - JenBro Feb 13, 11:30 5
- "No no no... peanut butter... jelly... and bread. Why is that hard?" -- nm - moop Feb 13, 11:31 2
  - but ... they touch - JenBro Feb 13, 11:33 1
    - Spawn eats peanut butter sandwiches for this very reason. -- nm - Footnote Feb 13, 11:36
- an "amuse mop" ... heh -- nm - Beryllium Feb 13, 11:31 1
  - LOLOLOLOLOLOL exactly :) -- nm - JenBro Feb 13, 11:33
The children are right to laugh at you, Mop. -- nm - Reagen Feb 13, 11:29
go. it's worth the trip. eat light, nobody will care. -- nm - colin Feb 13, 11:26 2
- oh, and the menu is pretty bland looking.. sure you'll be fine on the stomach. -- nm - colin Feb 13, 11:27 1
  - Bland to you and me. It's a nightmare to Mop. -- nm - CrankYanker Feb 13, 11:30
They need to hire Vermin to re-design that web site -- nm - ty97 Feb 13, 11:26 3
- Well, thank you! -- nm - Dr.Vermin Feb 13, 11:33
- I had a job once where I had to look at restaurant websites all day. They're seemingly designed to keep people away from pertinent information. -- nm - Reagen Feb 13, 11:28 1
  - this! how hard is it to put your phone number and street address in a place easily found? -- nm - JenBro Feb 13, 11:34
You know that what he serves in the restaurant is not the same as what he makes on Iron Chef, right? -- nm - Kim Pine Feb 13, 11:22
You could eat before -- nm - con_carne Feb 13, 11:13
Go, network! Order what you think you can eat. If they are drinkers, order a vodka/ice and a glass of water, then switch 'em. -- nm - CrankYanker Feb 13, 11:11 25
- that's just silly. -- nm - decline Feb 13, 11:15 2
  - absolutely, but it really happens, especially the higher up you go. -- nm - CrankYanker Feb 13, 11:17 1
    - not around here it doesn't. Big wigs around here drink like fishes and expect you to keep up - decline Feb 13, 11:20
- Eeeesh. Is there really a need to fake drink in this day and age? I hope the hell not. -- nm - Bacon Feb 13, 11:12 21
  - Those circles and mentality still exist, yes. -- nm - CrankYanker Feb 13, 11:13 20
    - Well, at least the smoking circles are dead, and reversed. - Bacon Feb 13, 11:17 6
      - In my work I see a different world. I see the Kennedy-type circles and it's alive and kicking. -- nm - CrankYanker Feb 13, 11:19 5
        
        Yep. I think your views are a bit tainted on this one. Mop lives in Corvallis with Corvallis people. - Bacon Feb 13, 11:20 4
        
        yeah, I can see that now. -- nm - CrankYanker Feb 13, 11:24 3
        
        :) I like your stories of Hollywood though. Crazy place -- nm - Bacon Feb 13, 11:26 2
        
        Come on down and visit! -- nm - con_carne Feb 13, 11:33 1
        
        Soon!! -- nm - Bacon Feb 13, 11:34
    - "Uh, I'll have a rootbeer. Thanks." - Beryllium Feb 13, 11:15 12
      - *scratches you off the next invite list* -- nm - CrankYanker Feb 13, 11:16 11
        
        I'm a unique case, however - in that I have never had an alcoholic beverage in my life ... extreme teetotaler. So I wouldn't even pretend. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 13, 11:21 5
        
        Have you ever taken Nyquil? -- nm - Bacon Feb 13, 11:22 4
        
        No. Although when I was a kid I did take Dimetapp, but I don't know if that had alcohol at the time. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 13, 11:24 3
        
        (I have had food that was prepared with alcohol, under the guise that it "cooked off", but I'm not too concerned about that.) - Beryllium Feb 13, 11:28
        
        LUSH! -- nm - Bacon Feb 13, 11:26 1
        
        hah. (see above IM :) ) -- nm - Beryllium Feb 13, 11:29
        
        I would imagine you see the extreme of this though considering where you live and what you do. - Bacon Feb 13, 11:18 1
        
        Yes. -- nm - CrankYanker Feb 13, 11:20
        
        don't be ridiculous. -- nm - Reagen Feb 13, 11:18 1
        
        To be fair. Look at where he lives and what he does. I think he's making a point, and not trying to be rude -- nm - Bacon Feb 13, 11:18
        
        scratches you off of mine right back. -- nm - the amanda nones Feb 13, 11:16
"I've already committed to something else that night" What? -- nm - Bacon Feb 13, 11:11
What a Beaver! -- nm - Bacon Feb 13, 11:09
unless you are going clubbing with Jeter, go to the dinner -- nm - Beaker Feb 13, 11:08 1
- Better yet, have dinner with Jeter at the restaurant, and then on the way out, stop by the other table, "This is how I roll." -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 13, 11:18
Go, and can you get any more pretentious with that website? -- nm - amoxy Feb 13, 11:07 1
- all restaurant websites suck. It's like a law, or something. -- nm - Reagen Feb 13, 11:26
*headdesk* -- nm - znufrii Feb 13, 11:05
you can't be that fucking stupid - pixitude Feb 13, 11:05 4
- seriously. did he even look at the menu? -- nm - the amanda nones Feb 13, 11:14 2
  - heh, I think he did. After spending a little time with Mop I can assure you that there's nothing on that menu he could eat. -- nm - CrankYanker Feb 13, 11:29
  - I couldn't even get to the website. Clicked on the link which opened up another link - amoxy Feb 13, 11:26
- Well, when you need to eat an entire pack of imodium tablets just to be able to sit down for an hour, your priorities in life become skewed. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 13, 11:06
Is this a "you and 30 other people" invite or a "you and the conference President" invite? -- nm - TWuG Feb 13, 11:05 7
- I very much doubt it's a one-on-one. My absence would not be missed, although I doubt it's 30 people. More like 10 or 15. -- nm - Mop (196 lbs) Feb 13, 11:07 6
  - With that number you'd be missed. This sounds like a great opportunity to make contacts and build potential for advancement. - TWuG Feb 13, 11:09 3
    - or heck, just call the restaurant, tell them what you can eat, and ask if they would be able to accomodate special dietary needs -- nm - znufrii Feb 13, 11:18
    - he can't eat roast chicken? he can't eat steak? -- nm - the amanda nones Feb 13, 11:16 1
      - I don't know. I would hope there's something that wouldn't cause issue. - TWuG Feb 13, 11:19
  - diva will kick your *ass* -- nm - pixitude Feb 13, 11:09
  - honestly, it would be dumb not to go. - decline Feb 13, 11:08
