Steak Taco Ice Cream anyone?

I work part time at a Mexican Restaurant called Chevys in Hanover, Maryland. I do it because it is a nice break from Law School and it helps provide me with some much needed cash. Now, there are all kinds of crazy that be coming into this restaurant.

There was a man who once refused to sit down until his friend arrived... an hour later. And another man that brought in a Chihuahua in a "working dog" vest that he held in his lap while he ate. (To this day I wonder what exactly a working Chihuahua does... I can't imagine it is a seeing eye dog... comfort dog?) Occasionally, we have drunk people that scale the wall that separates the restaurant from the mall.

One night I was one of the closers. It was about 9pm and there weren't many people at the restaurant. These two guys were sitting at a booth table finishing their meals and ice cream. I walked up to them and asked them, "So, uh.. do you want a box for that taco?" He responds yes. I placed the box down on the table and watched one of the guys put his taco in the box as I pick up the check.

I went to the kiosk to swipe his credit card. Just then, I turn my head to the dining room and out of my periph I can see that guy putting his ice cream into the same box that he just put the taco in. REALLY?

How on earth could this possibly be a good idea? First of all, ice cream melts ya dumb dumb. Second of all, YOU PUT YOUR STEAK TACO AND YOUR ICE CREAM IN THE SAME DAMN BOX!

I then go over to the table to try to help avert a bad situation. I say, "you know sir, I could get you a separate container for the ice cream." He responds... "NAH man! Its ok!"

Nah man! Its ok! I suppose tacos that have been saturated with sugary confection and melted ice cream make the ideal midnight snack! Perhaps lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, chipotle mayonaise, and green peppers are delicious on fried icecream!

I mean, I was really opposed to pineapple pizza when it first came out and look at what a hit that turned out to be. Perhaps this is the next best thing!

So people, don't be suprised if the next time you are out and your friend says something like "man I could really go for some steak ice cream!" or "Mustard flavored cheese cake sounds great right now!" They really could be onto something big. DON'T Judge them! Because, after all, what the hell do you know right? You are just a normal person with common sense.
