Scratch this one
Well, I just had an unnerving experience, something that's never happened in all the years I've been reviewing.
My husband and I were having dinner at a restaurant (under an assumed name, of course), and someone sent a round of drinks to our table. When we looked surprised, the waiter said, "You're Mr. and Mrs. Large, right?" I thought of denying it, but by then it seemed hopeless.
Not only can I never review that restaurant again, I don't think I can eat there again. It was quite unsettling how many staff people bowed and hoped I had had a good meal as we made our way out.
As for the person who sent the drinks over, he knows what I do for a living, but I guess he just didn't think.

I hope your meal WAS great after you were outted.

That was just plain stupid on the part of the person who sent the drinks over. So what was the restaurant? :)
That would be telling...

I shared this story with my sister, who wonders if you still enjoy your job after an experience like that. She was also amazed that this has not happened before, as we all know Baltimore is a big small town where everyone seems to know everyone else!
