A close friend called me and said she was going to be late for dinner because she was taking her daughter to the Apple store at the mall.
"Ooh, the food court," I said.
"Oh my god," she said. "Congealed sauce buffet."
"Only a novice would say that," I said. "There are two optimal times to go to the food court: 11:30 and 5:30. All the food is fresh for the lunch and dinner rushes, and it's delicious."
"The only thing more disturbing than you eating at the food court is figuring out the best times to eat at the food court."
"Min-maxing the food court is just good, common sense," I said. "Also, try the bourbon chicken at the Asian place. It's fantastic."
