Yet another milestone on the MASH part of my trip to the US of A: Tony Packo’s restaurant and their famous hot dogs 🙂

It was also my first collision with American restaurant culture and a bit of a culture shock. I had to take a seat at the bar to not block a whole table.. People were kind of eager to get me to order some more and in the end, there was the tipping.

Don’t get me wrong, most of it makes perfect sense, it’s just a little different in the old world, where tables are the norm, you notify the waiter if you want something(and he’ll only come around occasionally asking if you need something) and tipping is used to value good service, not a default to top up someone’s salary.

Anyway.. Had a great hot dog and the paprikas dumplings and before that, I had a visit to the 5/3 field and the Mudhens swamp shop for a couple of souvenirs. Who would have known that baseball jerseys are made of such a thick fabric? Probably everybody who’s slid to base in one 🙂
