text: It is easy to sneer at The Hard Rock Cafe It brings out an instinctive reaction of overpriced soulless and naff amongs those that do not know what they are talking about It does indeed come with a few annoyances but the rack of ribs and BBQ chicken plater I had the other night was in it is own way as delicious and satisfying a feast as I have had in a long time Likewise EBots burger was a definite for presentation and not far behind when it came to tastennI did feel a little sorry for the poor girl serving us though who had clearly been told to upsell appetisers desserts and all the various rock tat available in the shop You could tell she did not really want to but I expect the unscrupulous owners gave her or the ther staff little choice in that matternnAll in all though it was an excellent meal made even better by the slightly comical situation at the table next to us What could best be described as a year old teenager complete with surf dude beads and baggy shorts was sitting with having a meal with his parents Snippets of the conversation along the lines of Come on now son is it not time to get a job I hear the bank are recruiting could be heard alongside the incessent hair metal soundtrack I did not manage to catch the lads reaction but I have a feeling he would rather have had another gap year discovering himself and transvestite prostitutes in Thialand or Vietnam
