XOXO OXO

(You guys can keep arguing over football. Foodies, here you are.)

Thor broke up with OXO.

I’ve always had this thing for OXO. A thing. I’m serious. It actually started several years ago. I couldn’t get a job there– they had the staff they needed. I found work elsewhere, but I just wanted to be “around” OXO, and I couldn’t afford the date.

I finally acted on the crush earlier this year. I went just for the Artini, just to express some interest. There was something there– the chemistry, the buzz. But I was trying to play hard to get, so I waited before going back for dinner. When I did, my crush got worse. I had to go back. I didn’t think OXO knew I liked it so much, but then I started talking about night scenes needing dance floors, and it was like OXO wanted me there. Sparkling wine for five dollars? Love.

I never mind that OXO keeps other girls around beside me. I mean, look at OXO. Such a flirt! I’m enticed to the back room by its pillows and candles, only to be teased with amuse-bouches and martinis. And yet my server always makes me feel like I’m the only diner in the room when I’m there. I had pumpkin ravioli in a maple syrup sauce most recently. As soon as I finished the last bite, I wanted more. But we have our game. Every so often, I go. It’s just enough for me.

OXO, you hot little dish you, I’ll see you next time.

    Ok, the fact that the “the Rock maybe lives in C-ville” post got 30 times more posts than this Lilith confession is retarded.

    I should comment here just so you don’t have that big ‘no comments’ dangling there, disappointingly. But the object of your affection has hit me with a restraining order, so I feel compelled to bite my tongue. What if I tell the folks at Zinc on Thurs that they need a hat rack or umbrella stand? Will I be banished from yet another late-night destination?

    Between it and Escafe, right now, there is no place I would rather add junk to my trunk.

    And I accept pity-comments, yes.

    Thank you. Agreeance.

    Haven’t watched that video, but my $0.02 is the food at OXO is great. Their idea is greater. They just haven’t been able to execute consistently. And for me, consistently good execution is the hallmark of a good experience.

    […] I also head back to some restaurants to update previous reviews: Eppie’s, Ten, Zocalo, and Zinc, and OXO. […]
