Oh boy. A "restaurant where we ate" phrase. Without extreme speculation
based on a single bizarre example in TKD, there's no direct way to
translate this question. It'll have to be rephrased significantly, and
probably turned into at least two sentences in the process.
That's a common situation when translating idiomatic English. The most
understandable Klingon renditions I've seen of "You spoke to me about
honor" don't translate back into English as anything resembling the
original words, though they express the same thought.
