None Were More Satisfying

After a day of business in the South Bay my colleague and I were ready for a relaxed meal. I suggested seafood, but he had a better idea: beer and a grilled entree at the Tied House in Mountain View.

With widescreen monitors and large bar, the cavernous tavern is popular during football season. On this Tuesday afternoon it was nearly empty.

He and I split a flight of five 6-oz. beers. I ordered a plate of wild-game sausages (boar and lamb), warm potato salad, and cole slaw. We talked about follow-up steps, debriefed the meetings, and toasted our hoped-for success.

In recent months I've had fancier and more expensive lunches, but none were more satisfying. © 2015 Stephen Yuen
