Earlier, found myself writing "those horrid, chalk-like little candies..." which, to me, sounds better than "those horrid little chalk-like candies..." but would seem to violate the rule.
There is a small chain of restaurants in North Carolina called Biscuit Head. They serve amazingly good food. Most of it is biscuit-themed, but they do crazy **** like "Here's a steak tartar, with shaved truffles bathed in a mornay sauce, with asparagus and cremini mushrooms, and it just happens to be on a biscuit."
Yes, it's a tad hipster. But the prices are reasonable and the food quality really is quite good.
The whole place is also cat-themed. Example, the placard that you take with you and set on your table after ordering (you get to choose your cat.):
Also, WTF happened to Superbowl ads not airing until, you know... the Superbowl. This used to be a big deal for us in the TV biz.
EDIT: I had to google who Sarah Jessica Parker was. Does someone in marketingland think that there is significant audience crossover between Sex & The City and The Big Lebowski? I'd have loved to have been a fly on the wall at the pitch meeting where that idea was proposed.

You might have a touch more insight, I'm suspecting he received 7 figures to appear in that terrible ad. No idea why SJP was in it either.
Shilling for the European equivalent of Budweiser is very un-dude.

No idea about actor compensation at that level. But yeah, The Dude doesn't strike me as the type who'd shill for a beer company. I'm not even sure if he'd shill for Kahlúa. It diminishes the character. Can't speak to whatshername from S&tC.
