| - All I wanted to do was get a chance to dig into what I had heard was the best representation of Soul Food in the valley... I never got the chance.
We headed to M&M with a mixed group of friends (and by mixed, I am talking about ethnicity/race). There were no booths/tables big enough for our group, so we sat at a few different tables. After waiting well over ten minutes, my wife and I had no water, no welcome, nothing. Tables around us had food. Tables from our group that included at least one African American had their drinks/orders taken, but even after my wife went to the ladies room, we had not even been spoken to (most likely had not been looked at...)
There was no shortage of staff, since I saw several employees standing around near the cashier area.
Once we realized that we were being blatantly ignored, we left. I thought we (as a society) were above this type of behavior. I feel like I should look into taking action to bring the media into the situation (much like Denny's in the 1990's, no restaurant should act this way.) Last time I checked, my blood was just as red as the next guys, and my money every bit as green.
This whole in the wall will never get anything but extremely negative press from me. If you have any desire for real equality in this day and age, you won't go there either.
