Speaker 4 (00:44):
So this week I had to plan a goodbye dinner
for another one of my friends that I'm losing to Michigan,
where I'm from, and I'm not.

Speaker 1 (00:54):
Happy about it.

Speaker 4 (00:54):
I started with a ton of friends here and they
all keep going.

Speaker 2 (00:58):
I told you this was going to happen, and you
told me it wouldn't. But I told you there's a
certain age which people start to just and not is
not your friends anymore. But life just takes people, you know, oh,
for sure directions.

Speaker 4 (01:08):
I was just saying that I didn't think I would
lose my friendships, and thankfully I haven't yet. But childcare
is expensive, and my friends are going to Michigan to Yeah, my.

Speaker 1 (01:16):
Friends are still my friends. I just don't see it anymore.

Speaker 3 (01:19):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:19):
Yeah, Well Luckily I go back all the time, so
I also see her. But I'm very depressed about it.
But anyway, so she was like, I want to go somewhere,
you know, a little bit nicer that we can take pictures,
somewhere there that's picturesque. So I picked this place that
looks pretty reviews, It looks nice online.

Speaker 1 (01:34):
I have never been there.

Speaker 4 (01:36):
An hour before our reservation, I received a text about
the dress code and I would just like to share
it with you guys, because my jaw hit the floor. Okay,
So it said, thank you for booking with and I'm
not going to say the name.

Speaker 1 (01:49):
We look forward to seeing you. Thank you for booking
with Chillis Kitchen.

Speaker 4 (01:54):
Yes, as a reminder, starting at four pm daily, we
kindly asked that guests follow our sophisticated casual dinner attire
to ensure the best dining experience for all. Okay, please
refrain from wearing baseball caps, flip flops, non dress shorts,
and athletic wear which we've heard this before.

Speaker 1 (02:13):
Right here we go.

Speaker 4 (02:15):
Party accessories such as crowns, veils, or extremely extremely revealing
clothing are not permitted. Gentlemen must avoid wearing graphic T shirts,
sleeveless shirts, or open shoes. Please be aware that any
decision regarding permitting entry to the restaurant is entirely at
the management's discretion. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

Speaker 1 (02:38):
What the hell this offended you? It's not that I
just yeah, actually yeah I did.

Speaker 4 (02:44):
I've never heard like, so now we can't wear a veil?

Speaker 1 (02:48):
Like why are we wearing crowns around crown maybe someone's birthdays.

Speaker 4 (02:53):
Bachelorettes birthdays, veils?

Speaker 3 (02:57):
Like what? I don't know.

Speaker 1 (02:59):
Here's here's where.

Speaker 2 (03:00):
Here's where I think it's coming from. Is I think,
first of all, I think our definition of dressing up,
or our definitions of what's elevated fashion and casual is
just like it's casual casual has become cut off teas
or yoga pants and health and you know, flip flops.

(03:22):
I mean honestly, like people who think they're dressing up
to go to work or wearing golf clothes, which I.

Speaker 1 (03:26):
Don't think is dressing up. I don't care. I'm fine
with it.

Speaker 2 (03:29):
But I do think that like as a society, what
we consider going out apparel to go to a nice
restaurant is probably not what it once was. Right like
when we were growing up, but we went to like
a nice place, button down shirt, like nicer pants, not jeans.

Speaker 1 (03:45):
And I think now.

Speaker 2 (03:46):
People's definition of what dressing up is is different, And
so I think what the restaurant's probably saying is we're
going for a vibe.

Speaker 1 (03:52):
We own the place.

Speaker 2 (03:54):
We don't want you to treat this like you just
came from the pool or something.

Speaker 1 (03:58):
That's what I think. There's i've heard fall more egregious.
I'm not offended by that part.

Speaker 4 (04:02):
I'm offended by why can't I have my cleavage out
and have a tiny veil on or a crown on
if it's my bachelorette?

Speaker 1 (04:07):
Like that is weirdo behavior. I mean, it's extreme, certainly extreme,
it's certainly extreme. It's a funny country. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (04:15):
They must have had people in there who like we're
extremely distracting with costumes.

Speaker 1 (04:20):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (04:21):
I have no idea a graphic tea on a dude
can be cool with like a nice pair of jeans
and a nice pair of shoes.

Speaker 1 (04:26):
Like, I'm okay with that.

Speaker 3 (04:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (04:28):
I got kicked out of a restaurant once, uh for
wearing a sweater that had a hood attached to it
that was considered a hoodie, and I was asked to leave.
See I just now that offended me. But I'll tell
you what I did. I never I will never go
back to that restaurant. By the way, my hoodie quote
unquote was not cheap, right, it was a nice brand
and I looked nice, but hey, that has a hood

(04:51):
on it. We said no hoodies, you can't eat here,
or you can wear your jacket during the whole meal.
Now again, like, is that extreme? I think it's extreme.
Is that like sort of interpreting taco as a sandwich
a little bit?

Speaker 1 (05:04):
You know, I got a hook on it's a hoodie,
you know.

Speaker 2 (05:06):
I think what they meant was like a hoodie, like
like a champion, like a sporting something you would wear,
you know, to the jail. I mean, I think that's
what they meant when they made that policy, but they
also said no, uh, sneakers this place and you know
the place, you can't wear sneakers in this place. Well
you could, but but but women can wear sandals, but

(05:28):
I can't wear like Jordan Ones for example, and the
Jordan Ones that I happened to have, it was a
hoodie and I had Jordan Ones on, so I was out.
I was just I was completely out right. But thing like,
it's their restaurant. I guess if that's what they want,
they can do that, and then you can make the
choice not to go.

Speaker 4 (05:42):
Well, I want not the whole vibe period, Like we were.
I text edition to my friends who always dress up
and they were like, WHOA, Like, I don't know, it's
just it was it's.

Speaker 2 (05:52):
I mean revealing clothing like that's weird. I don't know
how you define that exactly. And by the way, like
the more the merrier there, Like I'm I don't I
want to go to a place where you can't show
them off come off.

Speaker 4 (06:03):
Viiling is different though, and now you know how I
feel about this, Like if I wear something versus someone
who's forty pounds lighter than me and has you know,
a cops, we're gonna look very different.

Speaker 1 (06:12):
So what are you gonna say? Who's revealing and who's not.

Speaker 4 (06:13):
And they put in there like it's up to our discretion,
so there's not a fine line.

Speaker 1 (06:17):
It's not like you can't do this or that.

Speaker 4 (06:18):
It's like we can decide if you have too much cleavage,
then you're out. I don't know. It made me feel
like I was. I was very nervous. I was like,
oh my gosh, what do I wear?

Speaker 1 (06:25):
I've seen worse than that.

Speaker 2 (06:27):
But I also think if you, I mean, unfortunately, they
can do that and then just don't go back if
you if you think that's too much. The cleavage things weird.
But maybe maybe people come in and they make these
big spectacles and they you know, they got all this.

Speaker 1 (06:38):
Crap on, and I don't know, I've seen it.

Speaker 2 (06:40):
I definitely seem like, and I hate to pick on
bachelorette parties, but I've seen birthday parties and bachel atte
parties where they become the focus of the restaurant because
it's so over the top. You know, you've got veils
and whatever, BoA's and all this stuff, and it's it
doesn't hurt my feelings. But if the vibe of the
if the vibe that they're going for is different than
that at then I guess they say, don't come here,

(07:01):
and that's that's their risk, right, Like the people want
to go there and party.

Speaker 1 (07:05):
Yes, I know you do.

Speaker 2 (07:06):
And let's just get to the root of why this
upsets you is that you you are always low cleave
and you're always running a crowd, you know, And I
get it, I understand, But there are other Cheesecake Factor
would be a great place for you.

Speaker 1 (07:18):
Yeah, we're we're going there next time. Yeah, honestly, honestly,
you should
