I'll take an Italian hoagie with the works.

On my way home from work I pass a restaurant that seems from several blocks away to have the following sign in the window:

FREE DELI !!

I see it and I get all excited. It's always a little disappointing upon closer inspection, which view reveals burnt-out neon and a sign that really reads:

FREE DELIVERY!!

I mean free delivery is great and all, but it's no free deli.

Talk about a failure of partial localization.

    Don't be sad Kieran... after almost a year in Redmond I have never visited a place that claims to do Italian stuff and then mantain its promise :-)
