I’ve noticed a few bars doing this lately—serving “frozen entrees” for $14 so they meet the food requirements but don’t have to actually serve it. I think it’s kind of funny.
That said, the crackdowns on bars and the proposed nightclub regulations are so annoying. More “Nanny State” regulations from our friend the Mayor. Before you know it, the city will suggest the only bar zoning should be in Georgetown next to the proposed “redlight area” and the landfill so all our neighborhoods will be filled with quiet, respectable restaraunts, hopefully serving some kind of fusion food.
I bet all those complainers voted for the smoking ban and sent them out in the street in the first place, too! ;)
