Never heard of Larry David- funny, funny stuff!!!

This whole thread makes me laugh, in a good sort of way.

Went to Lyons Den, first time ever, a week ago. The duck was delicious with the apricot sauce- great stuffing, too!

Anyway, the wife and I were going to go, alone, but her 37 y.o. son and his girlfriend decided to join us. As we left the house wifey says "You're not going to wear a hat, are you?" (Of course, I didn't). I like the eight-piecer style caddy cap- some call them scalley caps.

Guess who walks in to the restaurant wearing dark shades and the backward baseball cap- all through dinner. Nobody cared- he wasn't the only one. There were two 50s-ish guys wearing ball caps too- old looking jeans/tee shirts.

Yes, this was in the dining room.

Food and service were great- the waitress was a bit weird (kind of a nasally, yak-yaky voice, but very nice.

Someone here mentioned a lamb dish- that will be next!

It's what I like about the lakes region, laid back, and unencumbered.
If you want to get dressed up that's fine but don't expect everyone else to conform to your high expectations as far as dress code goes, esp in the sweltering summer months.

To me it depends on the type of hat. If it’s baseball type hat, I would lean towards being unacceptable. Then there is the dress hat for example, Scally Caps. Just keep in mind, you don’t know why a person may be wearing a hat, you are not them and do not know what they may be going through (Medical Wise) or trying to hide and feel comfortable and not missing out in company of others!! Most would more opt towards a dress type hat than baseball hat. Take this from personal experience....DONT JUDGE others regarding a hat and let it ruin your dining experience! Worry about yourself and if your Service/Food was acceptable and hope you are not experiencing what they maybe dealing with personally.

Thanks for saying this- My wife calls them my "Old man's hats"- Got tweed, wool and cotton versions.

I believe that the first translated Egyptian hieroglyphics from 3000 BC revealed Pharaoh’s complaint that the younger generation was disrespectful.
