A romantic story of how two gay men met on vacation in Provincetown, decided to open up a restaurant, and built a dream life together.

Would this be your dream life, too?

Life has no dreams to offer me. Only nightmares.

I love The Canteen! Now I know the backstory. So nice to know it's a labor of love. And they are adorably handsome.

Anything to do with food service is a long-ago nightmare I shall never recreate.

Do they do threesomes or orgies? Most of the couples in Ptown do, you know.

i think I've had the guy on the left...

I wonder how much their restaurant makes each year?

Have any of you eaten there? How was the food?

It's so sweet. I love sweethearts opening businesses together. It's so optimistic.

I hope people don't abuse the "Once Around the Garden" salad bar.

Good shoes, I wish the whores only the best.

The hot lobster roll is simple New England perfection (ask for some lemon). Frequently have lunch there in the mid-afternoon when it is quiet on the beach seating area.

The crispy brussel sprouts with fish sauce are addictively good. They had a special lobster mac 'n' cheese that was also delicious. And the lobster rolls are excellent. It's a casual place, place your order and take a seat or in the garden out back. Alone, or with other people, it's a great little place to eat.

Shame that they couldn't muster more ambition in life than a gay diner in Ptown. Lets check back with them in 10 years m'kay?

In ten years, you'll be purchasing artisanal soap from their gentleman's farm, r13.

I loved their food. But I farted.

Went there a month ago. So Gross.

I have never had the money to start any sort of business. Or to buy a place. Never had the cash to buy a car, but being a city person, that's been ok.

At least I made it to the status of reasonably secure middle class salaried renter.

I had friends from college who managed to have the down payments for real estates, for starting up businesses. I can assure you, this was NEVER their own hard-earned money.

Now we know what happens to print media journalists who've been made redundant.

I know it's a commercial, but I think they're swell!

by Anonymousreply 21September 27, 2015 4:05 PM

I hope they're still happy together. I wonder if their business survived.

lol

R22: Takeout only, closes at 9 pm. I don't know how they're surviving but they're still hanging in there. Current menu below.

It's a good place - no idea what this summer, let alone the future holds, though.

Looks like the dream is over. But agree, nice guys.

The whole thing is a car commercial!

Opening your own business and have it be successful is a huge victory, even if it doesn't last forever.

by Anonymousreply 33June 3, 2020 2:52 PM

A gay couple in business together? The meth? The threesomes that ended in tears? Now Coronavirus and potential looting? This will end in murder suicide.

by Anonymousreply 34June 3, 2020 3:19 PM

There is nothing more exhausting in life than realizing the popular dream of opening restaurant. What doesn't get eaten or stolen by the staff will rot, and the details are endless. I've worked in successful restaurants as a server and bartender and I was always taken aback at how much work was involved to make it a success.

I like their menu a lot and the prices aren't outrageous for a remote seasonal summer resort town, but I wish the cold fried chicken wasn't just thighs.

Sounds like even P-towners are difficult when it comes to social distancing.

R37 why does P-Town have such crappy food when it is bustling with big fat bottoms?

Wow, he’s aged badly. I didn’t even recognize him. I was wondering who the old fat lesbian was. Compare to the video in the OP.
