When I first started reviewing, not only did I have to worry about bad restaurant meals and outraged owners, I had to be wary of the headline writers at The Sun. I would open the newspaper, and my jaw would drop. Here are a few of my favorite headlines from the '70s, my first decade on the job:
- Viet dinner experience beats the war
- Despair after sundown
- Sauced at a Spanish outpost
- The Candle-light Inn has candles
- They shoot piano players, don't they?
- The ambience is fine; too bad you can't eat it
- Muzak wasn't loud enough to drown out drunk in Oak Room
