Welcome to the first ever bonus edition of Weird Restaurant Stories. This week I am going to try something a little different. The difficulty I have each week in compiling this list is eliminating those last few stories. This week several of the stories I wanted to eliminate all fit into the same theme. So this week’s dozen stories is actually a dozen and a half. Bonus.
The reason I limit it to 12 is that this is actually one of the more time consuming posts I write during the week. Coming up with even slightly funny lines about more than 12 stories would be a bit cumbersome. That is why this week in order to accommodate the bonus stories I have decided on a speed round of stories all sharing a similar theme. We have all heard the phrase, “Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.” This week I decided to test that theory. I may have some better variations. Judge for yourself.

Welcome to the “It’s the end of the world as we know it (and I feel fine)” edition of Weird Restaurant Stories. This week was full of mayhem, fire, and theft. Restaurants closed and restaurants reopened. As always they were documented by local reporters and read by me. I filtered out the generic stories to bring you the twelve stories I think best defined this week in the restaurant world.

For a while now I have tried to come up with a weekend concept for this blog. Traffic is down on the weekends and I wanted to come up with something lighthearted for everyone to enjoy. Last week’s point/counterpoint on why it is a good or bad idea to date coworkers didn’t work out that way. Turns out several of my dating coworkers did not see the humor in the post. So much for the point/counterpoint idea.
Instead today I am going to try something a little different. We all know truly strange things happen in restaurants all the time. Sometimes they are even newsworthy. So this Saturday in an effort to make everyone’s restaurant seem just a bit more normal I dug up some of these stories from around the world. All of these were reported in just the last week.
