Non-problematic hostage situations
From Lamorne Morris's Grub Street Diet:
And the dinner that night was interesting: It was at a place called Wazuzu. Probably some of the best Chinese food I've ever had. The orange chicken and the Brussels sprouts made me want to kidnap the chef and hold him hostage at my house and say, "Hey, man, just make this shit for me all day. You're going to see your family. Don't worry."
I have the same sentiment when it comes to Clinton Street Baking Company's legendary pancakes.
