I hope some one takes you up on that! All I know about Persian is they have cool cats.

Well, I’ve never been to Zucca and was therefore unaware they have (had) a lot of TVs. So I reacted the same as magpie. Knowing about Zucca’s TVs sheds more light on things.

My first thought was, “What a weird and off-putting thing to say.” My second thought was, “As if 20 TVs all tuned in to ESPN is everybody’s idea of heaven,” (because most commercial establishments that have a bunch of TVs seem to all be tuned in to sports. I love Six Feet Under, but have to steel myself to enjoy a meal in the bar.).

This is a good example of how tricky insider humor can be. (Sometimes there are whole sections of threads here that I don’t understand, because it all keys on an inside reference.)

That’s how I took it as well, for whatever that’s worth – more about the number of TVs in there than anything else.

And having just come back from lunch at Zucca, their last day is going to be February 19th, and the Ayatollah will be invading (KIDDING!!!) in late March, according to our waitress.
