CeCe Bruce has been working as a server at an Indianapolis Steak ‘n Shake for the past two years while going to school part-time. One of the restaurant’s regular customers, who is known as Miss Jo, comes in at least once a week, and developed a fondness for Bruce. After eating breakfast at one of Bruce’s tables earlier this week, Miss Jo asked if she could leave a “ridiculously large tip” on her $6 bill. Keep reading »

Place I Want To Go: Restaurant That Serves Food In Toilet Bowls
The world is such a wonderful place. It is a place where a restaurant exists called S**thouse, which serves food in mini-toilets and bedpans. The Beijing eatery was started by Feng Lu who says she had the idea to open the joint after discussing the biggest dumps she’d ever dined in with her friends. The conversation prompted her to open “one big toilet.” I’m not sure I understand the logic, but I don’t care. The S**thouse concept makes me extremely happy. And it’s making lots of others happy too. It’s such a huge success that there may be a chain of S**thouses coming soon. Yay! Please come to New York. I seriously can’t wait to eat noodles out of a toilet. [Metro]
Want To Eat Dinner With Bella And Edward?
OK, I’ll admit that the Twilight obsession has officially gone too far. [The Robert Pattinson panties didn't do it? -- Editor] Personally, I’m a total sucker (heh) for the whole vampire trend. I read all of the Twilight books, saw the first movie, and recently fell in love with “The Vampire Diaries.” Whatever — the trend will end at some point. In the meantime, I’m enjoying my vampy entertainment. But now a couple, Annette and Tim Root of Forks, WA, decided to cash in on the obsession by launching a restaurant in the town where the books are set. Crossing the line much? It will be named Volterra, after the Italian city where the Volturi vampires live and so far it’s set to open next spring. What’s on the menu, considering vampires only eat blood? Appropriately, steak will be served (the rarer the better I’m sure) along with seafood options. Huh. What’s next, a glimmer charm school? [Eater] Keep reading »
Lip Taken Out Of Service
The 670,000 women in the British service industry won’t let you call them sweetheart — or baby, or darling, or sweet cheeks, or even honey. Just like the women in 9 to 5 sans the ball-gagged boss, Women and Equalities Minister Harriet Harman is putting an end to womanizing in overlooked workplaces. Minister Harman has used her new position to create a statute that will require bar, restaurant, hotel, and even gym managers to be responsible for protecting their female employees from sexual harassment. Since service industry jobs are known for their client lip service, the change is expected to cost British companies 10 million pounds to enforce, according to the government office. So while sexist comments might make the employees feel cheap, the repercussions certainly aren’t. Keep reading »
Spears’ Baby Daddy & Daddy Possibly To Parent Restaurant Together
After a bad breakup, it’s hard to watch your friends stay in contact with your ex. But when your dad won’t let your ex go, well, that’s just a recipe for disaster….or, in this case, at least some food poisoning! Britney Spears’ dad, Jamie, is reportedly not only buying a Mexican restaurant with K-Fed, he may be using Brit’s money to do it. Ugh, if this is true, her pop is grosser than expired sour cream! The restaurant in question, LA’s Casa Cordobes, is K-Fed’s fave Mexican place. The owners want to retire, so failed restaurateur/caterer/business manager Jamie Spears would be happy to take more from the Bank of Britney to keep failed husband/rapper/dancer K-Fed fat and happy. While the two men are supposedly going to try to save the restaurant together, something tells us the next person who’s going to get served is Jamie — with papers from an attorney.
