We drove out past 30 initially to have dinner at the Chinese
buffet, but since it was late in the evening, we decided when we got there that
the food on the buffet wouldn’t be fresh.
As we turned around, we noticed Steak‘n Shake. “A steak and a shake – sounds good, right?” we said, and happily
discovered that they stay open 24 hours, which is perfect for a jet lagged
family.
We sat down and studied the menu. After a couple of minutes,
Courtney and I exchanged puzzled looks and leaned in on each other, whispering
“I don’t see any steaks on this menu. This is so strange. Where’s the ‘steak’
in Steak ‘n Shake?” We looked around: nobody was having a steak. Was it
possible that they didn’t serve steaks here?
We decided to blend in with the natives, and ordered burgers and shakes. It was all good.
When we came home, we asked Courtney’s mom about the steaks. She
gave us a look like the look you would give a small child who is asking
questions about something everybody knows, "Do girls have penises too?" and answered as a matter of factly, “No, they don’t have steaks.
They serve burgers.” Duh.
Of course.
We’re the silly
foreigners who thought we could order steaks at Steak ‘n Shake.
