So our anniversary was on Monday - Happy Anniversary A & W! - where have the last 3 years gone? It's crazy really. All the same, I was out of town on Monday so we decided to go to dinner at The Elements Restaurant here in Logan on Saturday night. I have four words to describe this experience: Frozen German Chocolate Cake. Incredible. We loved everything about the food, ambiance, and the 2 for $40 was perfect!
Hands down though, our waiter was the highlight.
No, not because he was great. Not because he was terrible either. Mostly just because he was clueless. From the start we guessed that he was pretty new. We asked him a couple questions about the menu, he would borrow our menu, read the description out loud to us, and say, "does that help?" Definitely. Couldn't have done it without you man. It came time to order dessert and thanks to my obsession with coconut and chocolate I had no choice but to order the Frozen German Chocolate Cake. The description on the menu said something about chocolate ganache, coconut sorbet, crusted coconut, and "chocolate semifreddo." Sign me up. Twice. I had never heard the term semifreddo before so I asked him "what is chocolate semifreddo?" He of course asked to borrow my menu, read the description, and pandering for an intelligent response says,
"Well, I served a French speaking mission so I know that 'semi' means half...so...but I don't know what 'freddo' means. Half of something I guess..."
Oh wow. Thank you so much. Alex served a English speaking mission, so he also knows that semi means half. And I am a native English speaker so I too know that semi means half. I understand that being a semi-waiter is semi-difficult so I was less than semi-annoyed - but definitely more than semi-entertained and we both thought it was semi-hilarious. Thank you Elements waiter for being so semi-helpful!
