So Let it be Written...So Let it be Done

http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/The_Ten_Commandments

In Cecil B. DeMille's 1956 movie, "The Ten Commandments," the Pharoah (Seti I) casts Moses out of the royal family and Egypt with this quote:

"Let the name of Moses be stricken from every book and tablet.  Stricken from every pylon and obelisk of Egypt.  Let the name of Moses be unheard and unspoken, erased from the memory of man, for all time.  So let it be written, so let it be done."

For years, we have used our own version of this quote when we encounter a bad dining experience.  It goes something like this:

"Let the name of (insert restaurant) be stricken from every obelisk and dining list in our civiLIZation.  Let the name of (insert restaurant) be unheard and unspoken, erased from any credit card statements and our memories, for all time.  So let it be written, so let it be done."

Since 2008, we have dined here on several occasions (when Guy just had to have pizza) but our most recent visits have proven to be, at best...disappointing and at most...DISGUSTING. 

First and foremost - the place was dirty.  The health code score was not posted.  And several tables were not bussed for what appeared to be hours.  This is a huge red flag for me. 

We each had salads and shared a pizza.  Two of the female servers were wearing flip-flops!   I think there is actually a law about open-toed shoes in a restaurant kitchen - or there should be!  And if you are going to wear them... PLEASE get a pedicure !

But the final straw occurred as we waited for our check to be cashed out.  We watched an employee come in the back door from his break, flip his cigarette in the trash can and immediately walk into the kitchen and prepare pizza dough...without gloves!  As our grandson would say,

"That is YUCK!"

This restaurant doesn't even rate:

 1 slap of  table = Faking it! 
 Absolutely no desire to return.

(Your hand would get dirty anyway!  So NO slaps for you!)

Let the name of Diesel Pizza be stricken from every obelisk and dining list in our civiLIZation.  Let the name of Diesel Pizza be unheard and unspoken, erased from all credit card statements and our memories, for all time.  So let it be written, so let it be done.


As you can see, we are in need of a new restaurant to satisfy our pizza cravings.  Any recommendations?  Post a comment below, with your suggestions.


**One more note about the movie.  Back in 1956 while marketing this movie, Cecil B. DeMille donated hundreds of marble tablets with the 10 Commandments inscribed on them to municipal buildings throughout the country.  Imagine, all that uproar over the years has been about a promotional movie poster!**
