We had a text message from Tom, suggesting
that we meet at Kyle's Kitchen for dinner. Kyle's Kitchen is a new
burger place that just opened.
The place opened on Tuesday, so we were
part of the shake down cruise. The philosophy around this place is so
cool. Kyle is a special needs student at Brianna's School (Mountain
View Grammar School). Brianna says he's in the 5th grade. He was the
inspiration behind this new restaurant concept. The menu says that
Kyle's favorite foods are cheeseburgers and salads, but his real passion is
meeting people. He is there at the front door, handing out menus when
you arrive.
The menu also explains that...
It's all set up for kids, with a whole wall a
chalkboard and a cup of chalk there for the kids.
Kyle's siblings are there in the restaurant
and other little kids were there when we got to our booth. We had
something like five little girls playing under our table!
The burgers, served on freshly baked brioche
buns, have great names like Cheesy Pig, Makin' Blue Bacon, Ahi in my Body, etc. Burgers start at $5 and if you
are adding anything to the classic burger it's an extra $1 (my Cheesy Pig
was $6).
Kyle's Favorites are marked with a KF (his favorite burger is
a Bacon and Egg burger).
We all decided to have dessert, mostly
because Joe LOVES ice cream sandwiches.
Brianna got both a mint chocolate chip milk
shake and a taste of Joe's ice cream sandwich.
We got home from dinner shortly after Norm
and Olivia arrived and we were all in time to see the 49ers blow a huge lead
against the Chargers. I'm glad that hadn't happened until AFTER Tom
and Laurel went home. You don't want to be around Tom when the 9ers
are losing.
Speaking of which, when the niners were ahead
35-21, Tom asked Bri what the chargers needed to win tie the game. She
thought a long time and finally said "14" and then when Tom kept looking at
her, she finally said "Oh! Two touchdowns."
Other kids have new math or common core or
whatever you call it, Bri is learning her math via football.
