Dear Dickinsonian:

I am gravely concerned with the carelessness exhibited by our beloved Misenos this past weekend. Similar to most students, I found myself lounging around my apartment on a Friday afternoon asking myself, “What am I going to eat for dinner?” After contacting my roommates, we decided we would indulge ourselves in the delectable bounty offered by the aforementioned pizza restaurant. Of course, being the responsible roommate I am, I offered to procure the food for everyone. Now, in fairness, I admit that I occasionally mumble. However, the events that transpired are unacceptable.

My roommate, who, for privacy reasons, will be referred to as Mr. Sentreas, requested a Chicken Caesar Wrap, which according to Misenos, is the same dish President William J. Clinton ordered when he visited campus. I placed the order over the phone, they gave me an order number, and told me it would be ready in 7 hours (over-exaggeration). This seemed like my average Friday night experience at Misenos.

When we arrived back to the apartment, ravenous as ever, our biggest fear was recognized. Instead of the delicious Chicken Caesar Wrap Mr. Sentreas was hoping to gorge himself on, he found what Misenos referred to as the Chicken Finger Wrap. I know what everyone must be thinking right now, “Hey pal, you mumbled. They thought you said Chicken Finger Wrap.” I thought that too folks. However, it was not until I checked their menu that I was filled with outrage. Under subsection, “Wraps,” one would be hard-pressed to find Chicken Finger Wrap. Why? Because it does not exist. In fact, if it weren’t the driest, dullest, sorriest excuse for a wrap, I may have just claimed myself to be the creator.

I find myself asking, how does a restaurant, as great as Misenos, make such an amateur mistake? What did I do to deserve this? Will my roommates ever trust me again?

While this may seem trivial to some, I assure you, the look on my roommates face as he ate his horrible wrap will scar me for all eternity. I may never gain my roommate’s trust back, and that is a fact that I am going to have to live with for the rest of my life. Not to mention the guilt. So, what am I asking for? I am not looking for an official apology from Misenos, nor am I asking this community to boycott the restaurant. However, let this serve as a warning. Next time you call Misenos, or any restaurant for that matter, speak clearly, and explicitly state that you would not like them to create a new menu item just for you.

Sincerely,
Mike Meyers ‘14
