The take

There is one thing on the menu, and the no-ketchup rule is not a bit — it is enforced at the window. The line down the boards moves faster than it looks. Guard the bucket; the gulls have been running this scam longer than you've been alive.

What to order: Fries — the only thing on the menu. Vinegar and salt, never ketchup.
