it's not me, it's you


The Lunch Box Cafe 23, rue Mirabeau. Toulon.



Let’s make this clear: when I walk away and close the door with a sigh of disappointment, it is not because there is something wrong with me. It’s because you messed this up. I’m not one of those “it’s not you, it’s me” kind of girl.  You made me shake my head in disbelief that such a great idea (a friendly little American café where I could find my fix of comfort flavor mixes) could come out so flat (seriously, quesadilla SANS salsa?!?).

The cool website and appetizing menu teased me into opening my heart, I walked in with a smile, ready to be overwhelmed by the luxury of options (which is by the far the best thing about American food joints).  I left with the vague feeling that one of us wasn’t ready to commit to making this work (don’t tell me you’d like me to order from the salad menu because the kitchen is slow today).

In the end, your online profile was way sexier than the real thing.
