That restaurant review was golden. As I was reading it I thought, They were Calabashed! Because once many years ago my husband and brother in law and I went to a “seafood restaurant” on the beach called Calabash, which was expensive, and we kept waiting for it to be good. It never got good. Nobody in the restaurant was talking or laughing—I mean that literally. And the wait staff never said anything typical like “how’s everything?” Because they knew. They all knew. We were being Calabashed.
