The Tribute Restaurant

Alyssa and I were eating at a new restaurant in the strip mall by the video store. Alyssa says “Do you remember the newspaper ad we saw with an ad for ‘KIST’ that was like ‘KISS’?” She was referring to an ad in the Chicago Reader that I brought home from Anna and my 10th anniversary weekend in Chicago. I told her I remembered and she asked what kind of band they were. I said “They are a KISS tribute band”. She said, “This restaurant is like a Panera Bread tribute restaurant”. Pretty astute. It’s basically a Panera Bread knockoff with panini and wraps and smoothies and such. The decor is very similar to Panera Bread. She’s a smart, observant kid.
