Default You've probably seen this restaurant, but you can't eat there

I don't know about Canada, but in the U.S. you get
a share of the take as a reward for turning in a
tax cheat.

You have an interesting theory. Maybe you should
stop there for a meal now and then to explore it
further. I wonder what might be a good way to test
your theory? Maybe you ask for a recipe for some
dish and see how they react.

What if you were taking notes in the restaurant?
A normal restaurant might think you were a food
critic. A front might think you were a tax
investigator.
