Welcoming Social Restaurants

On the way to work this morning, I noticed yet another one, the "Edge Social Bar and Grill". This continues the trend started with "Browns Social House" and "Pinkys steakhouse[*]", in which spaces and apostrophes are dropped like they might be carrying H1N1, but things are more social. While making for more questionable grammar, I hope this finally brings an end to all those anti-social steak houses, where you'd get ignored by the haughty waiters, the sullen chef dropped cigarette ashes in your overcooked T-bone, and the Maitre D' would always go running after departing diners demanding a bigger tip.

[*] So there's no "Social" in the name, but calling it "Pinkys" should let you know that this isn't going to be a place where the waiter will make fun of your wine choice.
