McCormick Chimes In

I got home today and had a McCormick and Schmicks menu rolled up behind my storm door handle. At least, that's what I thought until I unrolled it and found out that it was a hand-written note from none other than [deleted] McCormick! It says:

Dear Mark:

I hope all is well. Life is tough out here on the high seas, but that is the price one must pay to deliver the finest, cheapest seafood and novelty cocktails to his customers. I am writing in response to your question about a recent incident at our restaurant involving [deleted]. Such allegations are simply untrue, and when I return from this endless blue expanse, I will see to it that anybody perpetrating these lies is [deleted]! If that isn't enough, i will then [deleted] and [deleted] until they beg that [deleted]... but there will be no more to give!!!

Mark, please excuse me if my words sound brash, but my food is my life's work. I lose an average of $234,000 dollars per annum, because I insist that the satisfaction of my customers takes priority over everything else, including profit. Times are so bad that in September, I'm afraid that starved and out of bait, we had to sacrifice Schmick for the greater cause. We took him in his sleep to spare him the pain, but I assure you it is what he would have wanted, as his dedication knew no bounds. Please do not reprint this information.

Regards,

[deleted] McCormick

P.S. Try the fish tacos. They are sooooo money.

So there y'all have it. McCormick and Schmick's is just as swanky as it ever has been, and I for one can't wait to go.
