That'll make em sorry! 
that I would request an executive type. Well.......the American manners won me over and I was in love. He always wanted to open a Restaurant so after his branch was back on it's feet he resigned and started looking and designing the perfect place. It was an old church in Brisbane that had been turned into a rather seedy and unsuccesful french restaurant and he went gung ho american in remodeling the place into a top class steak house. he had all the girls in french maids outfits and the wine waiters were all men. Brass and glass and french blue carpets and a baby grand piano just off the dance floor. It was a magic place! and scandlous (being in a church and all) but became very popular in a very short period of time as not many Aussies at that time had seen anything like it! Our first new years eve we sold out of every type of champange we had, including all of the case of dom perignon! @ $100 a bottle.
I was terrified! Never in my life had I seen more than 2 lanes in each direction! After screaming a few times when cars cut us off trying to exit the freeway, I told him I was going to "close my eyes, don't get me killed and wake me up when we got there"
