I'm sorry, we don't have White Chicken, we only have Rotissarie-style Chicken...

The Bilmore Estate tour today was phenomenal! Just to imagine the lifestyle of these people is mind blowing! The space and detail and opulance is just breathtaking! Then, we go take a break to eat lunch at the Stables Cafe (in the old stables...surprise) and we order a sample platter to split. It comes with ribs, pulled pork and rotissarie chicken, (remember, we are on a southern-cooking-died-and-gone-to-heaven-hell-of-a-nightmare-for-2-on-a-low-carb-diet vacation)... Anyway, trying to be the non-humans that we are (inside joke), we ask for a piece of white meat chicken when the plate comes with a leg/thigh combo. Our waitress looks blankly at us, at the chicken, and then back at us and truly says: " we don't have white chicken, we only serve Rotissarie-style chicken." At once, we realize the poor woman just doesn't have a clue. But I got a little testy after she repeated it and I asked, "Don't they cook the WHOLE chicken, Rotissarie-style or not ?!?
