-
Oh, I'm, I'm so sorry to bother you, but is that the breakfast platter?
-
Yeah
-
I was actually thinking about ordering that.
-
Is it good?
-
It's actually really good!
-
Great, I'm just gonna try a little taste if you don't mind.
-
Sure.
-
Yeah, that is good.
-
Yeah, I think I might order that.
-
Let me actually see what else first.
-
Ooh!
-
That looks really good too!
-
You don't mind if I have a little piece do you?
-
You're out for a bite to eat when you see a stranger at another table who cannot decide what to order.
-
And she wants to use your food to help her choose.
-
Do you let her have a little bite, or do you chew her out and tell her, "hands off!".
-
What Would You Do?
-
No... sorry, that's a little weird.
-
What's wrong? Didn't your mom ever teach you how to share?
-
It's breakfast time at the Silver Skillet, an Atlanta institution for more than 50 years.
-
The restaurant prides itself on its good food and good service.
-
But will this morning's customers be good sports when Elizabeth tries to sample their food?
-
Do you mind if I try some? Before I order mine?
-
At first, Elizabeth's requests seem to order up some confusion.
-
-You got Cheesy Grits Before? -Yes.
-
I haven't had cheesy grits before, believe it or not.
-
-I recommend it. -Okay.
-
Cheese grits are great.
-
Maybe I can have a little taste when yours gets here.
-
This father and son look away uncomfortably.
-
So I know if I like it before I order it.
-
But when their food arrives...
-
Ooh yes! That looks really good!
-
They have no problem offering her a taste.
-
-Oh, thank you so much! -They share a bite.
-
But what'll happen when Elizabeth moves right in to their booth?
-
I can't believe I've never had cheesy grits before.
-
Miss, can I have a plate?
-
Thank you.
-
Yeah, you gotta try some of this pork chop.
-
Ahh, thank you.
-
-I've actually... -Just a little bit, just a little bit. Thank you so much!
-
She makes herself a member of the family.
-
And you got an omelet?
-
Yeah
-
Can i have a bite?
-
Ooh, these biscuits are nice and hot.
-
Without asking, she even dips her biscuit into his grits.
-
Thank you.
-
You've gotta try it with gravy too.
-
Right? I mean...
-
You guys are the sweetest, thank you so much.
-
No problem.
-
Why did they let her crash their party?
-
Cause we're good people.
-
Food is essential, food is love, and she seemed like a nice person.
-
But you were so giving to her.
-
I have nieces and nephews, probably her age, and I'm sitting here thinking, "Oh, maybe she doesn't have the money to order, so, why not?".
-
I just know that if a friend of mine needed some food and wanted to try it I would let them try it for sure.
-
Even if she double dipped into your sauce?
-
Listen, I'm a serial double dipper, I don't even mind.
-
And they're not the only food-friendly folks in Atlanta.
