Hello, English learners, and welcome to EnglishPod.

And Amira and I are here today with a great, great lesson for you.

Today we're going to be talking about a restaurant.

Amira, why don't you give us a little bit more details?

Well, we're talking about a situation in a restaurant and two people are involved, the waiter and the customer.

Let's just listen to this dialogue and we'll be back later to explain it.

For you, sir, I would recommend spaghetti and meatballs.

It comes with either soup or salad and a complimentary glass of wine, sir.

I'll go with the spaghetti and meatballs, salad and the wine.

I'll just go grab a burger across the street.

He is really angry at this customer and I can't blame him.

So, I think, Marco, you have chosen some interesting expressions for us here.

Well, the first one is I'm still working on it.

Why don't we listen to some other examples on how you can use this word and then we'll come back and explain it.

So, you could say I'm still working on it means...

It's a phrase commonly used and you'll hear it all the time.

It's a short way of saying Coca-Cola and French fries.

So, that's basically America's fast food.

On the menu, we have a complimentary glass of wine.

So, basically, it's another way of saying I'm choosing.

Alright, the next word that I want to take a look at is grab.

Okay, now let's listen to some other examples of how we could use grab in different situations and then we'll come back and explain it.

On your way home, can you grab some milk?

Alright, well, I would understand that go grab means go get quickly.

Alright, everyone, so now it's time to listen one more time to the dialogue and listen carefully and try to understand why the waiter doesn't like the customer.
