A different kind of happy hour

As we stroll down "dessert row" (a.k.a. Irvine Spectrum's lineup of Kelly's Coffee & Fudge, Auntie Anne's Pretzels, Funnel Factory, Golden Spoon Frozen Yogurt, and the new Sweet Spot Baker's Workshop), he decides on some deep fried happiness. We enter the unsolicited space and scan the carny selections. He requests a fundae, which includes ice cream, hot fudge, and whip cream.

Do you recall those commercials involving a frying pan, an egg, and the memorable, "This is your brain on drugs"? That flashback crosses my mind as we watch the lone employee create his made-to-order funnel cake. I quickly scan the room for other distractions, and my eyes land on a make shift advertisement.
