This Week’s Feature: Momma’s Old-fashioned Chiphouse
This was my first visit to Momma’s since the renovations under the new owner, multinational conglomerate Paloma Tobacco™, who plans to franchise Momma’s based on the new design.
Once inside, steel doors slammed promptly behind me whereupon I was thoroughly yet courteously frisked. On the way to my table, the maitre’d informed me that all entrances were sealed and guarded by elite troops who had taken a blood oath to protect Momma’s patrons unto death.
While waiting for my server I perused the back of the menu. On it was a reassuring blueprint of Momma’s, detailing the restaurant-fortress concept. I turned my attention to the television console (a feature at every table) and was impressed by an informative documentary about the rigorous training undergone by the “Paloma Military and Hospitality Specialists™”. Pure heaven.
I ordered “Spaghetti with chips”, the house special. It was good.
On the way out, the exit guard offered me a complimentary spray-can of Paloma’s World-Famous Dog Mace™ which I gladly accepted. Five stars.
