Tep Down

Mom and I went to The Stables after I picked her up from work (for the first time in YEARS--partly due to a recommendation from Andrew I recalled reading here (THOUGH! even MORE changes have occurred, meaning his raving shouldn't be taken too seriously)). While we waited for our main entree, my mom looked at the end of the table and asked, "Tep Down?  That must be a foreign name.  Do you think he donated the table??" (p.s. the sign reads "STEP down")
