More restaurant critic lines I wish I'd said

Charles Grene has sent me the rest of the restaurant critic comments from the Readers Digest. (See previous post.) Here we go:
"I didn't come into the job to make friends, and I've certainly succeeded at that."
"The lobsters are as glazed and tough as most of the customers."
"It's not just rich, it's plutocratic.  In South America, it would be kidnapped and held for ransom."
"For me, fancy food in a traditional pub is as about as inviting as the phrase 'Free prostate exam with every drink.'"
"I looked for wait staff, but the room was so big, they were probably obscured by the curvature of the earth."

Elizabeth, you can't say you haven't made lots of friends with this blog!
