Food

I know this is very unlike me but I just can't help it. My Darling Wife and I were in Billings the other day and tried out a new eating establishment in the city. <a href="http://www.staggeringox.com/billingsIndex.php">The Staggering Ox</a>. It serves what they define as sandwiches. I really hate to say this but it was the worst meal I have ever had in a restaurant. <br />n<br />nI had The Beastie sandwich. It had roast beef, onions, sharp cheddar, Monterey jack, among other things on it and I had it with the jalapeno cheddar bread. The sandwich comes in a very odd bread container. this container makes the sandwich very hard to eat. My mouth just couldn't stretch enough to try to get a decent bite of the sandwich. I couldn't taste any jalapeno or cheddar in the bread. In fact the bread was a dry tasteless mass of dough that had no redeeming qualities. I never once spotted any cheese on the sandwich and the star of the sandwich, the roast beef, was tough and tasteless.<br />n<br />nThe menu online listed Iced tea as a drink which is what I prefer, but once in the store I found there was none and was forced to drink soda. No Iced Tea is a big o point against any eating establishment.<br />n<br />nI ordered chips with my sandwich but never received any with my sandwich. Since the receipt wasn't itemized, I had no way of proving this so there was no chips with the meal.<br />n<br />nNow I've been told that you should always find something good about everything and this is no exception. There was one good thing. With each sandwich you get a sauce. Believe me, this sauce is necessary to give the sandwich any taste at all. I got the sauce which was a mixture of horseradish and blue cheese. It was very good. Not so good that I will ever go back again, but good. I figure My Darling Wife can make the sauce and have a real good sandwich topper at home with it.<br />n<br />nMy darling Wife was just as displeased with her meal as I was with mine. I always try to figure out how a place could be better than it is. This one is beyond me. I don't see how it could ever be good by my definition.<br />n<br />nLike I said, it is very unlike me to complain about a place but this time I had to mention it. I couldn't help myself. That should tell you something. <br />n<br />n<strong>If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude. Don't complain. Maya Angelou</strong>
