| - We went for dinner again last night. I had the jalapeno burger, which was awesome. I had it last time I went and will probably get it next time, too. I didn't find it spicy at all, but then again I do have a very high tolerance for heat. Maybe I need to ask for extra, extra, extra jalapenos next time. Their burgers have the perfect meat:bun ratio, and the hamburger is high quality and juicy. I think the burger is even fresh, and not some frozen hockey puck. The fries were also really good, although I kind of wish they would give you some kind of aioli or other dipping sauce as the Heinz ketchup degrades the otherwise awesome fry experience.
My dining partner has a different experience though. She ordered some kind of chicken bowtie pasta thing, and wasn't a fan. I tried some too and have to admidt that I would never order it. It was coated in some kind of alfredo sauce, which was really dry and pasty as though it had been sitting for a long time and the water had evaporated or been absorbed by the pasta. And to make things worse, the pasta looked and tasted exactly like something you would get in those Lipton Sidekicks pouches. hehe.
The restaurant was PACKED last night (Thursday), which I thought was pretty amazing. There was even a line at the door. What really gets me though is that about 50% of the crowd consisted of families with LITTLE kids - I'm talking like 2-10. It's strange since Jack Astor's is really a bar/club, and the waitresses are all running around in hot pants and skin tight shirts with their butt cheeks and boobs hanging out all over the place. It's really an adult establishment and I find it weird when I'm drinking beers in a bar at 9 pm, the table next to me is celebrating a birthday for some 5-year-old kid. in the lounge, at 9 pm. not even kidding. Seriously!?!?!??! what ever happened to Chuck E. Cheese's?!??!?!?!?
