The Backlash Bar & Grill.

There's no name above the door and the buzzer is bust

But if you've made it this far, it's taken on trust

That you don't care about decor, garnish, aesthetics

You came here for real food you did not come here for lettuce


This place has never been Zagat rated or Michelin starred

Just one sniff of the air'll turn your arteries hard

Type the name into Google and you'll get back zero hits

Revenge for giving all the critics the squits


It does not cater for dietary requirements, there is no celebrity clientel

The coals in the oven have come straight from Dante's hell

But its the legend goes on and the reservations book continues to fill

As diners come to faun and feast at the Backlash Bar & Grill
