THE SMITH & WOLLENSKY PLEDGE
  • Smith & Wollensky is MY steakhouse. I will have no other.
  • If I am taken to another steakhouse, I will politely direct the table conversation to the inferiority of the steakhouse to Smith & Wollensky.
  • I assume that a steak that is not a Smith & Wollensky steak, is a steak that wishes it was a Smith & Wollensky steak.
  • If I must go to another steakhouse, I will go to Smith & Wollensky Chicago.
  • If steak were a religion, Smith & Wollensky would be my cathedral. (So I will be sure to show up for Christmas and Easter.)
  • If my significant other wants to try a new steakhouse, I will try a new significant other.
  • If I find myself amongst friends, and they do not want to go to Smith & Wollensky, I will no longer consider myself amongst friends.
  • If I am hungry for steak and do not find myself in the vicinity of a Smith & Wollensky, I will build a new Smith & Wollensky.
  • If Smith & Wollensky steak is not on the wedding menu, I will suppose it an error and bring my own.
  • I will not go to Del Frisco's.

TERMS & CONDITIONS
By making a reservation, you are agreeing to the terms of the pledge and will not patronize other steakhouses. This is only binding to the definition of patronize as "to be a frequent or regular customer of," e.g., "For some reason, he patronizes Del Frisco's regularly." If you are going by the alternate definition of patronize - "to adopt an air of condescension toward," - please feel free to engage in patronizing other steakhouses, e.g., "He patronizes Del Frisco's regularly about how cute their failed attempts to be Smith & Wollensky are."

In the event that you find yourself, whether through coercion, deceit or kidnapping, dining at a steakhouse other than Smith & Wollensky, you are required to act with the dignity inherent in a Smith & Wollensky customer, even when faced with inferior steaks, second-class service or a drink with an umbrella. However, your dignity does not preclude you from making snide comments and you should feel free to do so.

Entering a profane or obviously made-up last name will disqualify you from this offer, no matter how hilarious it may be.
