The 10 Best Restaurants to Eat With a Third Tier Friend 2024

"There are two locations of Irma’s, a casual Tex-Mex restaurant, and both are downtown. With any luck your friend will accidentally head to the other location before heading to the one on Chenevert St and cut down on the time you have to spend at dinner. The tiny dining room looks like the inside of a grandma’s living room, with shelves overflowing with dolls, floral dishware sets, and just about any other tchotchke you can imagine. Which means that you can spend most of dinner making small talk about the kitschy decor and the daily rotating specials instead of talking about “what’s new” in your personal life. Hopefully, the obligatory dinner gods will smile on you and put the subtly-sweet chicken mole on special, and make it a bit easier for you to nod politely while they talk." - chelsea thomas, gianni greene
