For starters, adjust your expectations. Everyone wants to have lunch at 12.30 p.m. and dinner on a Saturday at 8 p.m. Chances are the other diners calling are just as affluent, willing to spend and unknown as you.
that's a funny starter I don't care how shit hot the restaurant is

She sounds super sweet and nice, and I had a huge crush on her as a kid. Can't really hate on anyone for being deeply into their interests/hobbies.

<a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2015/08/05/dining/hannah-kirshner-of-sweets-bitters-and-her-omelet-pan-for-the-backyard-bounty.html">This one seemed pretty tailormade to the thread</a>; here's a highlight selection:
Now 30, she has three chickens of her own: Cookie Dough, a Mottled Java; Hillary Chicken, a Rhode Island Red; and Black Bettie, an Australorp. They live in her backyard in Red Hook, Brooklyn, and lay about a dozen eggs a week. These she sometimes shares with the neighbors, at once an act of good will and a peace offering. (She said that the chickens don’t squawk much.)Ms. Kirshner studied painting at the Rhode Island School of Design, where she once made a dress that looked like a cupcake, spreading paint on the skirt and the bodice with a spatula for an impasto effect; she wore it while handing out cupcakes that looked like the dress. She went on to train as a competitive cyclist, then found that she preferred the pace of life as a bartender and baker. (At one point, she sold cupcakes from her bicycle.)She started Sweets & Bitters in 2012 with a focus on desserts and cocktails. She envisioned a quarterly; the current publishing schedule puts it closer to an annual. “It was a really terrible business idea,” she said with a laugh.That year, she lost a garden-level apartment to Hurricane Sandy. She would have lost the chickens, too, if not for a neighbor who braved a chest-high flood to rescue them from an unmoored coop. Since then, one of the crew, a Columbian Wyandotte named Chicki Minaj, has died.Ms. Kirshner has other jobs, as a recipe developer and a food stylist. Having a steady supply of eggs to fry eases the bills.

That's a carbon steel pan, not "blue steel" (which should be "blued steel"). I appreciate that the Times knows that pieces like that aren't worth editing.
