It wasn't funny at the time, but looking back, and re-telling the story, it becomes pretty funny. I was pretty embarrassed, lol.
I'm known for ordering the most chocolate of chocolate desserts wherever I go. The first 2 nights that I tried to order a chocolate dessert, unfortunately they all crossed with my coconut allergy. Sigh. I settled for cheesecakes.
Night 3 was Animators. I see the Cookies and Cream Sundae. I was salivating, knowing that it was safe and basic. Here comes my beloved server with a cheesecake. He apologizes that the cookies and cream sundae was not safe for me. At this point he kind of had to run because of the turning point in the show.
Luckily the lights were dimmed, as I started to sob. People around me probably thought that I just was moved by the show, LOL. I looked at my husband and choked out, "I just want something chocolate."
It was even more hilarious that you could see he felt my pain and felt genuinely sorry for me.
In my 30 years, I have never had a chocolate nervous breakdown. I mean... sure, I've counted the minutes until lunch to go grab a Milky Way... but I've never burst out in tears
The show was over, and I was trying to compose myself as the lights came back on. Our assistant server caught me
. On Day 3, I had pretty much considered Kat to be my new best friend, lol, so I opened up to her. I told her that I just wanted chocolate and if I saw another cheesecake that I was going to lose it.
She offered to grab me a Mickey Bar, but in my desperation I told her that I wasn't a huge fan of vanilla ice cream. Maybe I was tired, but I couldn't make these tears stop... WHAT IN THE WORLD??
So my other new best friend, Mehmet, came back with straight up chocolate ice cream for me and told me that the next day at Carioca's that I would have chocolate, chocolate and more chocolate. The ice cream was lovely, and much appreciated.
I am officially embarrassed for sharing that.
(they did spoil me the last night, and it was heavenly!!)
