Chew on This!

Bennigan's for a Chicken Caesar Salad. We wish we could work up the passion for this lunch that it deserves on our own, but we're tired. And we didn't have the opportunity to chew the fat with the Monz, else we'd surely be worked up about something! By the way, did you know the phrase "chew the fat" comes the old maritime lunch fare of salty cured pork and beef? That's the way they did it before refrigeration, but the beast was sooo tough that you had to chew it for a long time just to make it palatable. Sailors would socialize while dining and soon conversation and mastication were conflated!
