Simon's Cafe, Go!

[tablesaw]

J. is tomorrow, so for our last meal, we went to a restaurant I always want to go to more often, Simon's Cafe. It's around the corner from my house, it has fantastic food, and the chef/owner serves you personally and is incredibly sweet. The cuisine is based most strongly in Moroccan cuisine, but it incorporates aspects fo other Mediterranean foods. And the prices, especially for the lunch specials, are very reasonable.

Today, in addition to the picture of him serving food to a prince of the royal family of Japan, there is a sketch of him in the Bruce Timm style. Well, not really a sketch. More like a production cell.

J. asked about it as the meal was ending, and it turns out that a number of animators at the WB Animation office across the street love to eat lunch there. And so when they were going to set an episode in Morocco, the decided to draw Simon as a character.

So, yeah, we got served our food by this guy.

When are you goign to be in LA again, toonhead_npl?

Looks like that site doesn't approve of hotlinked images.

Rather rudely, as well.

I had no idea that "linking" was the same as "stealing bandwidth". When, oh when, will the internet be free of the blight of people LINKING to each other????

To be fair, it's pretty much technically impossible to tell the difference from their end. They should have an image-viewing page you can link to, if they don't already, though.

Our "idiocy" keeps our bills under control. Both types of linking send along a referrer with your request, and we block everything that is not from our own domain and a few others. We used to have an image display page though, like apm suggested, but I'm not quite sure where it went.
