Yamile isn’t having it.

Beers at the Gay 90s

Matt and I are at the Saloon. I see a Hispanic guy wearing a thin white button down with a gaudy silver pattern on the back. He also has a “female” friend who made me instantly homesick for Miami – flat ironed hair, tight tank top, fake breasts, scandalously short skirt, and dangerous stilettos.

I couldn’t resist.

Me: “Oh gurl, you’re beautiful!”
Yamile: “Why thank you!”
Me: “I’m from Miami. You’re taking me back right now.”
Yamile: “Oh my god! We are from Miami!”

We then chatted about our locations in the city. Yamile is a Miami Beach girl and doesn’t slum it in Little Havana… she then gets a whiff of something:

Yamile: “Do you just eat McDonald’s or something?”
Me: “No?”
Yamile: “Why does it smell like fries?”
Me: “Oh, they serve food at clubs here. The guy at the bar behind us just got a food basket.”
Yamile: “Oh hell nah. CARLOS, we are getting out of here. This Minnesota thing is some bullshit.”

She then literally takes her man and heads towards the door. Yamile was done.

I felt the same way about food in the bars when I moved here…but I never walked out. Oye Loca….

    No food in bars?!?! That’s at least half the enjoyment in going to bars! Lol. I must be a true midwesterner…

      Well, when I say bar, I don’t mean your local Irish pub or Applebees… I mean club… if there’s a stage and TVs playing Beyonce, then there shouldn’t be food.

    LOL! When you say that they serve food at clubs do you mean bars/restaurants that have dance floors or do you mean full out nightclubs that are supposed to be empty rooms with bars areas?

      Well that’s the problem, the clubs here are hybrids… so they’ll have they the empty rooms with bars, stages, and stripper poles, but then a more restaurant-y back area too.

      Oh nonono. Thou shall not eat at the clubhouse. Go to the drive-thru or Denny’s afterwards.
