I’ve been casually reviewing restaurants on Google Maps for the past three years and decided to have some fun with a recent review.
The subject was a pub in the Cotswolds called George & Dragon that cook their fries to perfection. The fries were so good the whole table thought some sort of sorcery was afoot.
Inspired by the pub’s name and their fries, I wrote the following review:
“This pub is a gem! The pie was delicious. And I don’t know what they do to their fries but the chef (presumably named George) must’ve made a pilgrimage to the alter of crisp at the summit of Mt Fries, slayed a dragon, and offered a particularly generous gift to the Spudman because they were cooked to perfection.”
I made Maru chuckle, and that was good enough for me, but I was thrilled when I saw the restaurant’s reply come through:
“I am George, the courageous dragon slayer and fryer of the finest chips! It was an honour to serve you, dear customer. Keep our chips close to your heart, and remember whenever you crave potato perfection, you will always find it here at The George & Dragon!”
I love it when brands and companies are willing to have a bit of fun.
