Transcript
I love when the bread's warm. Yeah. I think it's fresh I think it's fresh baked. I think they might tier might break it fresh. And I think I read down the mail menu, they break it fresh in house. Or maybe that yeah. Or at least a bread warmer, right, or something. But when it when it comes warm, that's how you sign of a good steakhouse. If if when they bring the bread, they take the care to make sure it's warm. If you're because think about it, it's just bread. So if you take the care to make sure the bread's warm, and the best bread it could possibly be, so that the butter melts and stuff, Then you rank imagine for the care they're gonna put into the steak. Exactly. Or tier shrimp cocktail, or or the salad. I like how there's, I like how you're doing different choices, not just one bread. There's you can get seeded if you want the seeded, kind of like a mini baguette, which I really enjoy. That one or I know you like the pumpernickel sometimes. Do you like when tier bring you know when they bring oil sometimes?
