One of my favorite things to do… especially in this city… is go out to eat.  So many great restaurants here, there, and everywhere.  Tonight we went to a place up the street called Eli’s Table.  Absolutely phenomenal dinner…. in every way.

There was a rather large group of us.   Most people ordered seafood this evening, myself included.

As I looked around the table, I notice a very interesting phenomenon.  The main course was directly related to the profession of the diner.

Sitting next to me was a Piano Player.  He had the Tuna.
A Shoe Designer was with us tonight.  She ordered the Sole.
There was one Politician who joined the ensemble.  He ate the Shark… of all things.
And a Priest was there at dinner also.  He had the Monkfish.
Community Organizer…. the Grouper.
The Veterinarian couldn’t decide between the Dogfish and the Catfish.  She ordered both.
We also had a Trumpet Player in the party.  She had the Blowfish.
One Woman is going through Menopause.  Crab.
And the Shortest Guy at the table ate the Shrimp.
The Compulsive Liar ordered the Flounder.  When it came out he said he ordered the Herring.  The Red Herring.
My nearest and dearest friend… of course… had the Angel Fish.
Me?  Well, I am a Photographer through and through.  I had the Snapper.

Through all of it though….. the busy Fish Chef had a Lox on his plate.
