Third Worst Dining Experience Ever

Yesterday after a relaxing but tiring stroll through Central Park, I could feel my stomache crying out for some meaty goodness. To cure my hunger, I decided to head to the Corner Bistro, a small, filthy restaurant/bar that has the best hamburger I have ever tasted. It has also been voted as having the best burgers in the city. Upon entering the Bistro, I was a bit surprised by the sheer number of people clogging up the place. Although the lines were just as long if not longer the last two times I went there, I had gone there on Friday and Saturday nights. Since I knew the food worth was the waiting, I decided to stick it out.

After standing in line for more than an hour, I was finally seated by the waiter. Right next to a couple. For the remainder of the meal I was basically forced to watch a super cute Asian girl cuddling/making out with a lumpy white guy. The fact that I was hungry and tired after a couple of hours of walking, that I had to wait in line for more than an hour, that I was feeling like a loner, that I had to endure 30 min. of PDA as I wolfed down my oddly tasteless burger so I could get the hell out of that stuffy, dingy hellhole, made it the third worst dining experience I've ever had.

What are the other two horrible experiences? For the second worst I drove around in the Cupertino Village parking lot for more than 20 minutes before finding a spot, waited in line at this shitty Chinese restaurant for more than 45 minutes because the lines for other restaurants were even longer, got seated at the same table as two complete strangers and ate really bad food. Of course, right after I started eating, my nose decided to bleed, so I had to run to the bathroom and plug it up with some tissue.

Don't even get me started on my WORST dining experience ever. It's too painful to bring up. Let's just say it involved a restaurant that specialized in ducks (bk should know what I'm talking about).
