What It Means
This phrase is your best friend when you wake up hungry in a new place. It is a direct question to find the food. Where's is a contraction of Where is. You are asking for the specific physical location of the meal. It is simple, clear, and very common.
How To Use It
Walk up to the reception desk or a staff member. Smile and say the phrase. You can add Excuse me at the start to be extra polite. Most people will point you toward a dining hall or a cafe. It works perfectly in hotels, bed and breakfasts, or even large offices. Don't worry about being too simple. In the morning, everyone understands the need for coffee and eggs.
When To Use It
Use this when you have just woken up in a hotel. Use it if you are at a conference and don't see the buffet. It is great for staying at a friend's massive house too. If you see people carrying plates but no food, this is your cue. It is the universal 'I am hungry' signal for travelers.
When NOT To Use It
Do not use this at a normal restaurant where you are already sitting down. They will think you are confused! Avoid using it if you are at a small apartment with one kitchen. It might sound like you are being sarcastic or rude. If your spouse is standing at the stove, don't ask this. Just look at the stove!
Cultural Background
