Just had a business lunch at Palomino in the Crescent. (Alaskan sea scallops — mmmmmmm.) When they bring the check at Palomino, evidently, they give you a little card with a saying on it — a fortune cookie without the cookie. Mine: “A status symbol is anything you can’t afford, but did.” Sheesh. I think I’d rather get something boring like “Today is your lucky day,” with “Learn Chinese!” on the flip side.
