"One of the best ways to avoid any uncomfortable check splitting equations with someone you barely know is to go the counter service route. At Stanton’s City Bites in the First Ward, not only can you pay for your own meal without feeling guilty for not offering to pay for theirs, but you can also get a truly excellent burger. Even better, you will be so busy stuffing a spicy chipotle burger into your face that you’ll be incapable of having any kind of intimate conversation. Fill those awkward silences by wiping the spicy mayo from the corners of your mouth or taking a big swig of iced tea. Just keep chewing and nodding. You are definitely paying attention, but, really, the burger is more important." - chelsea thomas, gianni greene
