This Guy's Got Everything

And that guy is Richard.
A crown. A faire. And a restaurant. It's amazing.

Richard's pork marsala, I have decided, is my favorite dish in the entire state of Maine. It's that good. I know, Richard's is a German restaurant and marsala one of those dumbed-down American Italian dishes. That's not the point. It doesn't matter what the dish is supposed to be it is delicious. Which is really too bad considering how many vegetarian, non-red-meat-eating, kosher-observing friends I have. Who am I kidding? I don't even have that many friends to begin with, let alone pork eating ones. But that just means more sweetly tender, thin slices of wonrously seasoned pork for me. And don't even get me started on the buttery rolls Richard's has. You think if I shamelessly plug them some more, we can work out a deal where I transfer all of my board there? Imagine a semester's diet of just meat, cabbage, and ale. Oh wait, that's what I'll be eating in Scotland.

And now, an example of a restaurant that does not try hard enough:

China Chinese Restaurant. I understand that starting a new business is daunting. Catchy names are hard to come by. And well, that strip in Brunswick does not have the best track record for any kind of business. But honestly, did you have to name your new Chinese restaurant China?! There wasn't one other word you could think of? You're taking whack Chinese restaurant names to a whole new level when you call it China Chinese Restaurant.
