"Whether it’s a coworker or a particularly self-involved friend, some people will just talk at you the whole time you’re together. It’s kind of like being with a TV, so you might as well go somewhere casual with actual TVs to entertain you while you eat alone instead of listening to your dinner companion go on about their last performance review or new workout routine. Daisy's in Hyde Park has excellent po' boys and sides (like seafood gumbo) and a large dining room with strategically placed screens for your eyes to wander to." - adrian kane, john ringor, veda kilaru, nick allen
