8th March, 2011



This week saw only three of us dine at Santa Fe. The hard question was whether to get one serving of cheese dip between three or two serves between three.

We went for two serves.



As you can see from the pictures the cheese chef decided to fancy up the chilli powder. Rather than the usual line, this week we were graced with crosses.


Onto the dip. This week it was hot, spicy, and incredibly thick. This would normally be a cause for celebration, but note that this week we were served with a Type 2 bowl, which holds about three spoonfuls of cheese dip. This was a huge disappointment after seeing other tables served with Type 1 bowls.

In direct contrast to last week, this week we had too many chips. The thickness of the dip and the Type 2 bowl resulted in a significant discrepancy in the chip-to-dip ratio.



We didn't have a repeat of last week with chips that were possibly older than the collective age of the table, however, there were a large number of semi-stale chips. This is further proof of our Chip-Barrel Theory.

The breakdown:

Consistency: Thick, like your mum.
Spiciness: Quite spicy.
Appearance: Type 2 bowls, with fancy chilli crosses.
Temperature: Hot.
Flavour: Tasty.
Chips: Similar to a lucky dip where you have a 50/50 chance of getting something good.
Chip-to-dip-balance: Too many chips. WHY CAN'T YOU JUST GET IT RIGHT SANTA FE?

To finish, please observe the tacos we received after the dip. It appears that we are now expected to arrange the filling ourselves, as the taco chef clearly doesn't understand that lettuce and tomato are not meant to be served in separate tacos.
