So as those of you who know me know, I'm a retired engineer who has been working as a chef in an Italian restaurant for almost 14 years. Many consider us the best Italian restaurant in the state of West Virginia, and that may very well be true.

A constant head scratcher for everyone that works here, waitstaff and kitchen, are the larger parties. We get them all the time. 10, 12, 14 people. It's fine, I'm not complaining, but who the hell has 14 friends they want to take out to dinner? Really? What about dinner for two? That makes sense to me.

I don't get it. None of us get it. What am I missing here? I barely have four friends I might want to take out to dinner together. Maybe.

@shuttersparks On the very rare occasions that my siblings (with spouses) are all together, we'd be a group of 12. Then you add kids into the mix, and we need the full banquet room.

@ajbobo yes, that does happen occasionally. But usually it's like a bunch of old people who are all friends. Who has that many friends? Lol who wants that many friends? Not me.
