Sholom Means Peace, Hello and Goodbye!
Today Monz was doing a closing in Vernon Hills. It went so well he decided to have lunch at a "well established Vernon Hills resturant, the last place you'd expect the Monz to go." Denny's! And since the closing went so well, Monz decided to have fun with his meal and order the mini-cheeseburgers (replacing the onion rings with hash browns). Alas, Denny's did not deliver their end of the bargain. Rather than offer up six miniture burgers, Denny's took two giant burgers and cut them into pieces. Bah humbug!
While this was going on, the editors ventured deep into the Chicago Loop for lunch, because they needed to stop by Office Max (tm) on the way back for some indispensible bankers boxes. Alas every establishment near the Office Max was crowded, with no tables to be had. Every establishment, that is, but one: the Sholom Deli on Wells (no website, no menu, no waiting). Unfortunately the marketing editor forgot to order the small reuben, so out comes this piled-high bonanza. Far too much for one small marketing editor to eat, a bag was requested to take 1/2 back to the office. However, once outside, a man approached the editors with a sad story. Down on his luck, he asked for help. "Would you like half a reuben? It's fresh." "Yeah! (taking bag) What's a reuben?" "Um, it's corn beef and cheese and sauerkraut and thousand isl..." "Ok. Got some change?" "No."
