Fly on the Wall

For this assignment I decided to go to Patxi’s Chicago Pizza, a small restaurant that serves Chicago style pizza. The first thing I noticed was that this place had eight different tables. Four of them were lined up on the right side of the restaurant and seated four people each. The other four were meant for two people and were lined up in the middle of the restaurant. All of these tables were made up of a darkish-brown wood. On the left side of the restaurant there was a bar with five seats. At the backend of the restaurant there was a kitchen that was open for all to see. Since it was 1:00 PM on a Monday the store was not busy. I sat and heard the waiters talk on the phone behind the bar. They were asking a customer on the phone if they wanted takeout or delivery. I also heard three kitchen workers talk in Spanish about something. The smell of the place was also interesting because it smelled like a mixture of wood and buttered bread. There was also a hint of tomato sauce smell. I decided to order a slice of pizza. The pizza I ordered looked more like a pie. It had tomato sauce on the top with a layer of cheese under it mixed with pepperoni, pesto, and onions followed by a layer of baked crust. It was very good and all the ingredients complemented each other in my mouth. After I finished eating I decided to touch the tables and see what they felt like. They were extremely smooth but had some hints of pizza crumbs. Some of them even stuck to my hand as I lifted it off the table. Overall this was a good experience and I enjoyed eating and being there.
