Now serving Buffalo…Bill.


There’s a restaurant on the way to Muskoka called “The Pit”. As I drove by it last summer I thought, that’s what Buffalo Bill from Silence of The Lambs would likely name a burger joint had he gotten away with the whole skin jacket thingy. How would he run the place?  Would he make his staff do his trademark tuck while they worked?  The city would surely object.  Would he have night vision goggle hour and make his customers struggle to find condiments etc while he watched and taunted them? Would an actual pit be the stand-in for the playgrounds found at McDonald’s? And No it wouldn’t be for kids. That’s just weird. It’d be for adults. Would his version of a happy meal contain lipstick and rare moths?  Would he walk around and give customers the hose if they don’t put mustard on the bun exactly when they’re told? I bet he would.  That’s just what Bill does.  It’s his shtick.

  2. Hi Derek. I assume the tumbleweed rolled from your blog to mine as I recall it was an incredibly vacant wasteland last time I checked. You want it back? Let me know. Merry Christmas my friend.
