Lukewarm take: The steak-to-cheese ratio at Dalessandro's makes for a near-inedible brick with provolone, but is excellent if you get American cheese and some toppings.

My guess would be that it's C.A.T., rather than cat. If you're going to put up directional signs, it's more efficient to print a bunch of ones like this rather than assume you need x number of <--- signs and y number of ---> signs.

As far as I know a gas-powered forced hot water baseboard system is at least as efficient as a comparable furnace system. The most annoying thing about them is that the location along the bottom of the wall of every room is exactly where you want to shove your furniture. Avoid electric baseboard head like the plague.

When it comes to checking for efficiency, it's pretty simple: you want the covers and fins to be in good shape. Other than that, I think the biggest things would be the same as any other system-- how efficient is the thing heating that water up?

To piggy back on this, I think it's worth noting that a lot of places that used to have "two drink minimums" (like comedy clubs) have moved to "two item minimums". The markup on food may be steep, but it's not as absurd as the markup on nonalcoholic beverages, and it removes the "you should be drinking" signal that can be uncomfortable for some people.

Comedy shows are still filled with drunk idiots who don't know how to act in public, but it's definitely more friendly to people who don't drink than it used to be.

If it helps, these are also sometimes called Honigkuchen, although I think there's also a slightly different thing called that as well, and there's probably a bunch of people who will tell you they're nothing alike because no one outside their home city/village/region know how to make it properly.
