/ck/ - Food & Cooking

You sound like a cunt

>eating anywhere with people
>that one guy who just talks about how the food costs more than the raw ingredients

"Did you just dip that chip?"

>>4923279

I always say/think that when I eat breakfast at places. I think its because I'm bitter in the morning.

>>4923773
If you're aware that you're having stupid thoughts, why don't you stop having them?

>>4923843
tell me how please. I wsnt a happy lifr

>>4923879
marijuana!

>go to restaurant
>"Oh, they've updated the menu"
>added one thing, removed one thing
>remember your favorite entree?
>it's fucking gone
>but we replaced it with some other bullshit you don't care about at all

Red Robin has pulled this on me like four times. 95% of the menu has gone unchanged for the last few years, but every time they update it, they cancel whatever my favorite item was.

>>4923279
>eating anywhere with people
>that one guy who just keeps on talking about how the same thing is 2 times cheaper where he lives and the food isn't even as good as there

The other week I bought a whole porterhouse and cut it up into nice thick steaks, it wasn't cheap.
I mentioned it to a friend and he started telling me I should marinate it, I was like no I enjoy the taste of meat bit of salt and pepper is fine for me, he was like just marinate it bro it's heaps good, just use whatever sauces and herbs you have.
He's a good mate but fuck that.

>>4923264
>friend is always buying some bomb ass smoked gouda
>Doesn't eat the dark layer
fuck i thought the dark layer was wax....

>Eating anywhere with people
Can't do it sorry. Enjoy eating alone unless its thanksgiving.

>>4923902

uh yeah gotta agree.

Why the fuck do they do this?

> bf n I want to use dutch ghoda as dip

> bf wants perfection, puts in microwave without my knowledge
> doorbell rings n wonder who da fuck is ringing doorbell at this time
> mfw I open door n my bf standing there with burnt rockhard dutch ghoda on a fork
> smells like death and shit n whole house smells of ass
> mfw mfw mfw beautiful dutch ghoda turns to shit

>>4924100

>>4923902
Yeah, Chili's has done this repeatedly to me, too. Last time I went in, there was nothing left on the menu that was worth getting.

>>4924093
A lot of it is cost reduction, especially in the last five years or so in the U.S. The government cheats on the inflation statistics by ignoring housing and food costs, claiming that they are "volatile". If you actually pay attention at the grocery store, though, you'll see that to keep box prices the same, the amount of food in each box has been reduced drastically. "Juice drink" that used to be 25% juice content is now 12%, boxes that used to have six granola bars now have five, and so on.

Things that are sold by weight, like some cuts of meat, have really shot up in price, though. I used to be able to get turkey drumsticks for $1.48/lb in 2009; last time I bought any they were $2.12/lb. Funny how "volatile" doesn't mean "moves up and down" in government inflationspeak, just "moves up like a fucking rocket".

>being overly picky
>treating waitstaff poorly
>sending food back over a small, trivial thing
>complaining in general

I'm really laid back so even if they fuck up my order I'll usually just eat it anyways, it's not that big a deal. Another big one is leaving huge portions of food on the table to get thrown away.

>>4924100
Do you have downs?

>>4924111

>government inflationspeak

Welcome to the era of the uninformed masses. It's the same for anything that might make the government look "bad," like how the unemployment rate doesn't include those people who would like to work but aren't actively seeking a job.

>>4924100
You seem intoxicated

>one guy doesn't want a desert but everyone else does
>instead of just getting a desert to eat with everyone else he sits, sulks and makes sure everyone sees him looking at his watch because he didn't get his own way

>>4924134
how u kno

>>4924128
yes

>>4923765
Oh god, this. I can't stand people that throw a shit-fit or pout when you double-dip. Seriously, like the fact that my lips touched a few millimeters of the edge of a chip and then went back into the dip could possibly infect them with AIDS or something. For the record, all of the dip that indirect-kissu'd my lips via that chip in ON THE FUCKING CHIP. Stop acting like I just infected the bowl with the goddamned plague. Triply offensive when the person that gets all bent out of shape kisses a chain-smoker and sucks his dick later that same night.

>>4924183
You're an idiot.

>>4924183
You know you can contract hepatitis or herpes from double-dipping, right?

>>4924183
Maybe people just think you're gross.

>>4924183
This, they even myth busted this bullshit too so there's no reason to be one of these double dipping Nazis unless some coldsore ridden whore decides to do it. I think people who freak out about double dipping are chip facists.

>>4923980
To each their own, but I'm with you man. Nothing quite like a choice cut of steak with naught but the natural flavour of the meat and some light seasoning.

>>4924137
Seriously this, I never eat dessert (don't like sweets and candy) but I can order a cup of coffee to drink while the others eat their dessert.

>friend is working
>begs me to bring her a pizza
>fine
>wants certain toppings and garlic butter crust
>bring her the pizza
>she eats and throws out the crust
>WHY DID YOU WANT GARLIC BUTTER CRUST IF YOU WEREN'T GOING TO EAT THEM?
>lol i dunno

Fuck man, I would have eaten those.

>>4923980

>He's a good mate but fuck that.

Hahaha. I would definitely hang out with you.

>>4923902
You order the same thing every time? How boring.

>>4924455
Wow it's like you never learned how to read.

>>4924459
I read that perfectly fine. They get rid of your one favorite item, implying you used to order that every time.

>>4924462
>implying
>actually implying without being ironic

Having a favorite entree =/= you order the same thing every time, you autist.

>>4924472

Hey, OP. I love these threads. I've worked as a cook and dine all the time, so I have quite a list of food rages that I think we can agree on.

1. This is actually my number one food rage. That guy at the table who is constantly talking about some other meal he had. This kills the fun.

2. Yelp reviews. Sure, yelp is a good thing in that it makes it easy to find places to eat, but I can't stand to see my favorite restaurants get berated by over-critical noobs. Here's almost every 1-star review ever:
>"I wanted to like this place so much, but I will definitely not be going back!"
Then they catalog everything they ate.
>"We had the rum and whisky cocktails which were alright. Then we had the small plates. The mac n' cheese was DIVINE. Perfect blend of cheeses with crispy pancetta. Then we ordered entrees. My fish was OK. My boyfriend's porkchop was good."
It's like, uh, so why are you giving this place a 1-star review?
>"Now, our server was just so blehh." She just threw the plates down and when we asked her whether the lamb was from Colorado she just said she would ask her manager. My friend asked for a chardonnay. The menu clearly said it was 6 dollars but then the server informed us that it was 6 during happy hour and that it would be 12 now. SERIOUSLY?!?! And she only comped our dessert." 13 people thought this review was funny. 5 people thought this review was useful. 7 people thought this review was cool.
I pretty much have to stop myself from even going on that website.

3. People who treat waitstaff as subhuman scum. A manager once described her job to me as sometimes being like "babysitting a bunch of adults". That's unfortunate.

4. Wine "experts". I was out to dinner at a nice restaurant with a date, my brother, my dad, and my dad's date. This was a nice place. His date was trying to tell the sommelier about wine. And when the wine came she made a big show out of tasting it. Cringe.

Continue?

>>4924475
>yelp reviews

I was reading reviews on a local Mediterranean restaurant. One of the reviewers was clearly unhappy with his experience and was throwing around his ELITE STATUS (in caps too) and accusing the employees of spitting in his food. Owner wasn't all too happy with this and left a very professional yet mocking response to his elite status title (also in caps).

>>4924183
Oh god this, I hate it when people complain that I shit my pants and then wipe my shit all over my nipples.
I mean, what the fuck, it's not like they are going to get aids, they didn't even touch me.

>>4924475
I hate yelp reviews just as much as you, but here's my take on it. I used to cook in restaurants, and I've been a food writer too, so I do have experience. I purposely get on Yelp and write reviews for restaurants I visit, to help counteract the idiot factor on there. If everyone who knows how to properly review a business never uses the site, it's just going to be the mouthbreathers. And sadly, the mouthbreathers will win. Until there's a better website for finding new businesses than Yelp, millions of people are going to keep using it, and they can either reading normal, reasonable reviews of businesses, or they can read moronic shit like your example.

This is a 2 fer one deal.

>Meet up with some friends. 4 dudes, 2 chicks
>We head to a diner because we're hungry
>Both girls were like "oh, yeah we just ate we're not that hungry"
>Everyone orders. I think they're ordering something small to munch on.
>Food comes
>One girl gets a fuckhuge plate of salad
>The other gets some fries
>The girl who got the salad eats maybe. Maybe. A 1/4th of it
>Fries are about half gone
>Time to pay - everyone puts their money down
>2 of our friends who want to fuck the girls say "You guys don't have to pay".
>The salad was fucking 8 dollars, the fries about 4
>We all had to put in extra money

Fucking ey, man.

>>4924137
That's annoying as fuck, but so is the alternate
>Everyone is full and finished eating
>A single person wants a dessert
>Orders it before we can get the check from the waitress
>We sit there as he pigs out.

>>4924475
You really need to do some profiling in order to use yelp. I kind of use a 'credibility score' that I calculate in my head.
Written by a woman? Minus 14 points
Uses words like 'awesomesauce'? Minus 27.4 points per use
Complains about the service/decor? Minus 100000 points
Any review with a score of less than 0 gets ignored.
Damn, someone needs to turn this into a browser extension.

>>4924121
>I'm really laid back

No you're just submissive and indecisive. You'll make a wonderful cuckold very soon.

>>4924553
Fucking this. I hate this one. If people are really so desperate to pig out on sugar they could just wait until everyone's done and go buy a bucket of ice cream at a corner store or something, fuck.

>Eat out with a friend on the weekends because a nice meal out is great after a stressful week

>stupid thoughts

yes good little goy, capitaliism is efficient! you pay 10 dollars for a burrito because you have to

>>4924585
So much this.

>>4924594
That's the thing. No food is definitively 'American', unless you're eating buffalo pemican and foraging for berries.

>>4924608
You know what I mean - he won't try things that aren't straight up steak/burgers/pizza/subs. He doesn't want to branch out and try food from different cultures and shit, something I like to do.

>>4924111
But. but.. muh mushroom jack fajitas..

>>4923765
fucking ronnie
i did this shit too
he is such a nice guy
emailed him once and he actually responded
such an awesome person

>>4924594
I have a friend that panics when given the option to try something new she's never had before. She's afraid if she doesn't like it, it will be a waste of money, a waste of a meal, a waste of her entire fucking day and I suspect she cries herself to sleep at night. I blame her parents for that.

>>4923966
>2 times cheaper
How can something be 2 times cheaper? "Twice as expensive" I can understand, but "twice as cheap?" What? Do you mean "half the price" or something?

>>4924675
DOUBLE HALF PRICE

When people think they only ever need to use the 'good' ingredients. Like people who think olive oil and balsamic vinegar are enough to cover all their fat/oil and vinegar needs or making stews with a more expensive cut even though the cheaper one is more suited to it.

>>4924585
>>4924600
Not all of us are angry Nazis like you two idiots

Growing up, my parents made burgers, spaghetti, tacos, everything you should make with ground beef, with ground turkey.
Ground fucking turkey.
Burgers and tacos made with gray mush. Fucking gross.

>>4924183
I mean.. Double dipping isn't a big deal, but I just think it's generally respectful to not double dip when you're around others.. To each their own though.

>>4924742

I still do what my family use to do, which is use a 1/2 and 1/2 mixture. Good for making it slightly less artery-clogging while having a good taste and texture.

>>4924742

My family made the switch from beef to turkey (along with a bunch of other random changes) when my grandmother had cancer. It was a culinary nightmare. To this day, I can't eat turkey without wanting to puke.

>>4924742
>spaghetti
So they formed the noodles from ground turkey? Amazing.

>>4923902
Just stop eating at chain restaurants, then.

>whenever I eat fast food
>"I'd like a burger with no lettuce"
>whoever's taking my order repeats "a burger with no lettuce"
>I see the receipt and it clearly says a burger with no lettuce
>burger has lettuce

>>4924829
>order plain cheeseburger
>get burger
>no cheese

If I didn't want fucking Cheese I wouldn't have ordered a plain CHEESEburger. I mean I know they're hardly supposed to be the brightest kids working in fast food but seriously.

>>4924130
>like how the unemployment rate doesn't include those people who would like to work but aren't actively seeking a job.

Actually (At least as it was explained to me here in NH by a labor division clerk) "Unemployment rates are a percentage of the population not working that is collecting unemployment benefits."

That's right: Not working but not collecting (either benefits ran out or (more likely) employer managed to fight the unemployment hearing and won? You are not counted in the unemployment statistics, even if you are actively looking and applying every damn day.

>>4924843
They aren't counted because they don't have a way to track them.

>>4924851
I would think the long fucking lines of people who are APPLYING for unemployment , even if denied, would count. Sadly, no. Neither are the people who are denied unemployment benefits, but file as unemployed for other aid, like food stamps or medicare.

right hand doesn't know what the left is doing.

>>4924837
Then why would you order a plain cheeseburger. Just say you don't want any of the condiments or pickles. Obviously fast food people will fuck up if you aren't specific, don't give them credit.

>>4924793
taking the bait

spaghetti refers to the dish as well as the noodle you jackass

>>4924885
Why would you put ground turkey over spaghetti?

>>4924893
Because god hates you

>>4924869
If you want cross-indexing between applications for government aid, then by all means put forth a bond issue to pay for creating software designed to cross-index between various government organizations for the purpose of collecting statistical data.

>>4924899
Because most people don't bother to learn how to cook ground turkey.

>>4924183

People really can be retarded with the double-dipping thing. I was at a new years eve party last year and had these huge ass potato chips that I would break in half and dip each half, or I'd dip it then take a bite then dip the un-bit side again. Someone started raging at me for "infecting the bowl", even though no part of the chip that my mouth ever came in contact with ever touched it.

>>4924843

Econfag here. Your clerk was making shit up. That's not how we get the numbers at all. They actually have zero to do with who's collecting benefits.

It's actually based on a telephone survey, believe it or not. Which means this happens:

>lose your job
>get rid of landline to your house as it's an unnecessary expense when you have a cell phone
>become invisible to unemployment statistics

And they stopped counting 'discouraged' workers as part of the labor force in the 1990s, which is one reason the economic statistics seemed so rosy. I don't even want to go into what they've done with the inflation numbers. Ever since they started doing 'hedonic adjustments' they've been meaningless.

>mfw if they still counted unemployment the way they did during the Great Depression we would be seeing Great Depression levels of unemployment

>>4924121
As a waiter, I have no idea why people would rather wait 15 minutes for another entree and/or mess up their night being a cunt about it

>>4924793
>>4924893

>>4924793
>>4924893
this is also spaghetti

>>4925047
oops, forgot to add
"this is spaghetti"

>>4925050
they don't call this dish "spaghetti with a tomato sauce and ground meat"

>>4924475
As with all reviews, look at the 2-4 star reviews instead of the 1/5 star

>>4924550
>$4 fries
What the fuck

>out with a girl
>she waited tables one summer so she "knows what it's like," lets me know repeatedly
>implying I haven't
>makes a big scene out of being extra polite and "making it easy" on the waitron instead of just chilling out and acting normal
>tips 40% or some shit, or if I'm paying, leaves an extra $5 on the table

Holy shit, I've waited tables before and even then, I thought people that acted like that and tipped over 20% were suckers.

>>4924702
>Like people who think olive oil and balsamic vinegar are enough to cover all their fat/oil and vinegar needs

Lel, I used to do this when I first started cooking. I wasted so much olive oil on shitty limp stir-fry. Now I barely touch the stuff, since I don't actually cook much Italian or French.

>>4924585
>indecisive

How does that make me indecisive? Just because something is different than what I ordered doesn't mean it's bad. Sometimes I end up trying something new because of it.

You're pretty critical for a guy who uses his time to derail threads and start arguments online.

>>4924550
That's on you for not making your two horndog friends pay for them themselves.

>>4924742
>ground turkey

Holy shit, when my parents separated i remember my mom started buying it because it was so cheap. We ate that shit at least once a day, every day for two years. If i ever have to eat it again it will be too soon.

>People making pasta with fresh cream, Parmesan and bacon
>They call it Carbonara
I wouldn't have a problem if they called is cheesy cream bacon pasta, but it is not carbonara.

>>4924550
i dont understand the concept of everyone chipping in for a meal

just split the fucking check and pay for yourself

>>4925233
Its delicious tho, thats how my mom made it. I'd dump a metric ton of green can parmesan on top.

>>4924877
because the guy said cheeseburger not hamburger

>>4924837
this is always my exchange
>cheese burger, and id like that burger plain?
>plain, right?
>yes, just meat and cheese.

i actually say "meat and cheese" because of all the times ive gotten a hamburger

>>4924643

I want to hug him.

this, I hate complainers, make everyone feel uncomfortable

Crust is great. I will never understand why people don't eat it.

Also
>watch American TV show
>mom's preparing breakfast for children
>cuts off the bread's crust

>>4925284
yes, no european has ever done that

truly, its only americans

Here have a horror story

>"For the love of god pitch it"

And that's how I saved my friend fro dyssentery last week.

>>4925290

Dude, you know, had I ever seen that happen in any European show I'd have said "watch some TV show" but I've only seen that in American TV shows so I said that. It's just what happened. Man. You know? It's about the fucking crust here, THE CRUST

>>4923279
I think about it when I'm out. But I also think how I am trading a little extra cash for someone else to slave away over my meal so I can enjoy a nice evening out.

>>4924452
The garlic crust is my favorite part of the pizza at my local place. If I'm about to stuff myself and can't finish my slice I'd turn that baby around and be damned sure to finish the crust.

Ungrateful wasteful bitch.

>>4925298
do crust only get cut off in europe?

europe makes less than a 10th of the tv america makes

im not talking about tv, im talking about moms cutting off crust

>>4923287
Do you hate people that double dip?

Or do you hate people who make a big deal out of it because it's bullshit that it spreads germs easily?

>>4925242
Carbonara is essentially bacon and egg pasta.
It is so damn simple to make but people insist on fucking it up with cream, mushrooms ect.

>>4925305
I'd really rather people not do it but I won't sperg out about it.

>>4925304

I have never seen anybody eat a bread with the crust cut off here in Germany. Nor have I seen that happen on TV

>>4925304
i meant "only get cut off on tv?"

>>4925296

>just split the fucking check and pay for yourself
That's what we always do. That's what we were doing that night. But then my 2 friends were like "You guys have to chip in the money to pay for them".

I didn't feel like starting an argument - I just got out of work - so I put down some money for them too.

>>4925435

It's just white trash food. Yes, I know it's Australian, but white bread, butter, and sprinkles?

>waiter comes back with everyones dinner on one check
>every fucking time
>have to send him back to split it
>makes me feel like a bunch of faggots, him assuming that one of us is buying everything

Why do waiters do this? Maybe it saves a little time to not split it but then they just have to turn around and go print the check again.

>>4924121
Fucking cunts.
I've only sent things back when It's cooked too much, or not enough. I like my steak med well, and I've gotton it rare. It isn't hard for them to throw it onto the grill for a minute.

>>4925475

Can't you just, I don't know, pay for your things? And good tell you the split prices like that, without having to go back. Why do you want your own bill? I don't understand

>>4925475
Have you considered asking for it to be split when ordering your food?

>>4925485
becuase it is easier that way.

>>4925491

I don't know exactly what you're doing at a restaurant but this is how it usually goes down in my experience:
>you order a drink
>you order your meal
>two items
>add prices of these two items
>add tip if waiter was good

It really isn't car surgery.

>>4925475
That's why my friends and I always say it in the beginning. Take the initiative

>>4925485
It tends to be easier/stops arguments. Also, it works better when people are trying to pay with a debit/credit card instead of cash like other people at the table.

>>4925475
maybe you should put more emphasis on the fact that you want seperate checks

heres one that pisses me off and happens everytime

Word. It's rare but I've had it happen more than once. Or getting a turkey sandwich when I asked for a "plain Turkey Bacon Club" at a local place. If the shit is in the name you shouldn't take it off when they ask for it plain.

I thought she was asking if I want a plain hamburger or a cheeseburger. Huh.

>>4925513
plain means nothing

regular means the usual fixings

>"Cooking food kills nutrients"

No it doesn't you lazy piece of shit. Stop making excuses.

>>4925524

Yeah, it was just surprising because I get asked here in Germany very often "Hamburger? Or cheeseburger?". I think people are surprised that I don't enjoy that orange McDonalds cardboard

>>4925542
what cardboard?

>>4925544

Their "cheese".

That soft, stretchy cheese, the fucking cardboard.

Are you actually retarded.
Do you have downs or something wrong with you because I just can't see why anyone would be this stupid without having something wrong with them.

I'll let you off if you're retarded but if you're not I'll have to call you out on being ridiculous, because that's exactly what you are.

Instead of complaining or insulting them, I just ask nicely and they do it. If they say they will have to charge me, I will usually decline. When you pay for something and expect it a certain way, it is the employee's responsibility to do that for the customer. Normally I don't mind if they want to bring it as a side in a separate dish or something.

Here's where you're wrong.
I'm not actually sure you know what a hard cheese is, believe it or not hard cheeses actually exist and McDonalds American cheese is not one of them.

I'll let you off this time, I wont embarrass you like I did before.

Why am I being this generous?
Because I'm going to give you a while to look up the differences between hard and soft cheeses.

>>4925564

Okay, here's how it is my dynabro:

I went to McDonalds, okay? Got that down.
Ordered two hamburgers.
They somehow managed to fuck that up and give me a hamburger and a cheeseburger. Still with me, duder? Thought so. So I sit down, unpack them, am a bit surprised but think "HUH well won't hurt to try." The burgers were lukewarm. A bit of the cheeseburger-cheese was hanging down the side of the burger so I thought I'd tear that off and give it a try to see how it tastes like. You know how cardboard, the thin kind of cardboard, tears? Yeah, that's what happened with that cheese. It wasn't a nice melty, soft cheese as you'd expect it to be. No, it was tough, it was hard, it just wasn't a pleasant cheese experience.
Now, Mr. McDonalds-Cheese lobbyist, let's just high five and enjoy our lifes which seem to have given us different experiences when it comes to cheese found on a McDonalds cheeseburger.

Unless you have a compromised immune system, exposure to mild pathogens is good for you, and besides, oral transmission of pathogens usually requires direct contact. And on the off-chance you *do* have a compromised immune system, you probably shouldn't be eating unsterilised foods that have been left out in the open air in the first place. They're already full of germs. Whatever germs double-dipping adds are outnumbers thousands-to-one by the ones that were there from the factory and any that were floating around in the air and happened to settle on the dip, all of which you would be exposed to regardless of the behaviour of anyone else in the room. Coughing or actually spitting on food is another matter.

Beh. I'm from Italy and I actually prefer bacon in it. Proper dried jowl is a tad costly where I live currently, so I gave bacon a try once and found I preferred it. In my region of Italy, carbonara is more commonly made with dried belly but the original is supposed to be dried jowl. The purists in Italy (and abroad, as well) cry foul when anything but jowl is used. To be honest, I don't live in Italy anymore. The Italian Food Police have no jurisdiction here. Fuck them: I like bacon in it. As said, I draw the line at mushrooms et al.

The only time I've had "carbonara" here in the US that I didn't prepare myself was at a 'gastropub.' Their "carbonara" was a plate of garlic and oil spaghetti topped with shreds of crisped dried ham and a poached egg. No peppercorn. No cheese other than the bit provided by the server.
Not bad, but also not carbonara.

I've had carbonara in the UK, too. What they know as carbonara lacks eggs altogether. It's ham, peas, mushrooms and onions in a cream sauce. We have this in Italy as well where it's called 'boscaiola con panna.' This is just another example of Britain's long held tradition of renaming things other cultures created using a name for another food from the very culture they've appropriated the dish from in the first place. See 'fries' and 'chips,' for example.

Che scemenze! Ma stai proprio scherzando? È impossibile che sei un italiano. Per uno: nessun italiano mangia la. Anzi, quel ristorante è solo per gli turisti stranieri. Anche se mangiano li, quello che c'ha lui non e neanche 'alfredo sauce.' Infatti, è solamente un bel piatto di pasta e burro oppure pasta calcio e pepe. La ricetta Americana di 'alfredo sauce' e fatto da parti uguali di panna da cucina, parmigiano grattugiato e burro. Si mette il burro e la panna in padella o tegame insieme e si fa cuocere sopra fuoco dolce finche il burro squaglia, poi si aggiunga il parmigiano un poco alla volta finche risulta in una salsa cremosa, saporitissima e bianca come la neve.
Si chiama 'alfredo sauce' in omaggio al Alfredo alla Scrofa ma e un piatto fatto in modo diverso diverso.

>>4924455
That's not the point. If you want something different, you can go to another restaurant, or try something else on the menu, or whatever. If you want the blackened catfish with tortilla strips and Mexican rice that Chili's used to serve but stopped because of costs, you're out of luck, better figure out how to make it at home 'cause you ain't getting it at Chili's.

Or the people that half-ass it. Used to have a group of middle-eastern guys come in to work. They were very scrupulous about asking if something was made with pork, but half the time when I said "yes", they'd just say fuck it and get it anyway. I don't even.

My dads first wife was devout catholic and he had to convert before the church would marry them. Though he was only with her and the church for about 6 years I stuck with him pretty hard. My mother, father, and I never really attended church but every single friday we still had some kind of fish. Either fish sticks, tuna casserole, fish sandwiches, etc and the habbit clunged to me as well.

If anything, it's a decent reminder to eat fish at least once a week

>>4929368

Pseudo-Jew again.
I have an employee.
She was raised as a screaming sand-dwelling lunatic IE a Muzzie.
She was telling me just yesterday about when her grandmother went barren, her grandfather asked Gramma's permission to take a second wife in order to father more children. I just thought it was really, really bizarre. I've never actually known any polygynists. She doesn't care about pork or alcohol (doesn't seek them out, but doesn't avoid them, either). She thinks Muzzies and Jews should resolve differences and live peacefully. She doesn't read Q'ran or go to mosque. She thinks Mecca is a shithole. She's even married to a Catholic because "Muslim men are shit." But polygyny is fine and dandy. Weird.
It's a cultural thing. She grew up with it being normal and still considers it at such. Likewise, I know that in the US, every midwesterner I've ever met absolutely detests seafood. No wonder, considering they're a kajillion km from any ocean.

Speaking of Yelp, I found this lovely gem the other day.

It's for Capital Grille, which is incredibly upscale.

I mean, he enjoyed the place but.. Goddamn. I cringed when I thought about how annoying him and his group of frat boys must have been for everyone else there.

What nonsense! But you're just kidding? It is impossible that you are an Italian. For one: no Italian eats. Indeed, the restaurant is only for foreign tourists. Even if they eat them, that he's not even that which has the 'alfredo sauce.' In fact, it is only a nice plate of pasta or pasta and butter calcium and pepper. The recipe of Americana 'alfredo sauce' and made from equal parts of cream, grated parmesan cheese and butter. You put the butter and cream in a pan or pan together and cook over low heat until the butter melts, then add the Parmesan cheese a little at a time until it is in a creamy sauce, tasty, white as snow.
It's called 'alfredo sauce' in homage to Alfredo to Sow and a dish but done differently different.

Doubling in the "twice as" sense is exponentiation, not multiplication. Is the concept of a negative exponent new to you?

Doubling once is multiplying by 2^1=2, doubling twice is 2^2=4 and so on. By this logic going to the other side of the zero (as "cheap" is a negation of "expensive") and doubling minus one times is 2^-1=1/2.

There was no way that he could even taste it. It was just hot, temperature-wise. It MUST have burnt his tongue. I don't know. But he did this with every single meal, he immediately started eating it, without letting it cool down or anything, just slurp it and make a whole lot of noise while eating.

One of the servers at my work had a table of 8. As they started ordering their food, they said that they'd want separate checks and he said that that wouldn't be a problem, but they'd have to stay in their seats so he could keep track of who had what. It ended up turning into a table of 13 and the entire table moved around 4 times throughout the night.

yup,you're really crankypants.

This is a general pet hate of mine but I had a chance to experience it in the kitchen to an infuriating level last year:

PEOPLE WHO CAN'T FUCKING ACCEPT A COMPLIMENT

>have flatmate last year
>her parents run two restaurants, her dad is head chef in one of them
>both are professionally educated in the culinary arts
>she does things in the kitchen that might as well be sorcery as far as I'm concerned
>makes amazing stuff every day, everyone at the flat gets to try the goodness
>her reaction to any praise is some variant of
>"I still think it's a bit off, I'm going to have to try X next time..."
>"It's just simple Y, nothing to write home about"
>"I've tried too much work of actual pros to think this is anything impressive"
>etc

BITCH JUST SAY THANKS AND LET'S MOVE ON THIS IS DELICIOUS SHUT THE FUCK UP

It was the best year of my life in cooking terms though, always good food to be had (hell, she got early morning to make breakfast every day) and I learned a lot from her, but she pressed my maximum rage button every time. And she was nice so I just had to keep it in and nearly get a brain aneurysm instead of exploding about it.

some people don't like compliments, it makes them feel embarrassed.

If you really want to show her gratitude without embarrassing her, try asking her for kitchen pointers

I consider Ohio midwestern and Indiana is more firmly midwestern than Ohio is. You like seafood. Do your friends and family, too?

i live in michigan. i almost never eat seafood from the ocean, but i do like freshwater fish a lot like walleye, yellow perch, trout, pike, panfish, etc as long as i knows its fresh

>>4930102
yeah, a progressive culture thing. i never pay for meals in cash, it's a waste of my time and the servers time to even count it. there isn't a single worker on the planet who would rather deal with cash and change versus swiping a card and handing it back

though i do generally keep a mixed set of bills amounting to $40-50 on me just incase.

Vegans who think their shit is better

>implying it's impossible to ask the server to put different amounts on different cards
if there's more than 2, ask for a pen and write a list of the last four digits of each card and the amounts on each.

>>4931858
Most places won't do that. Some places even put passive aggressive notes on their menus about fuckers who want split checks/payments. Also, you never know if your server is a literal retard who will fuck it up and overcharge someone, so it's like playing roulette with your bank account.

>>4931866

I haven't been to a place in at least 6 years where they had a problem splitting the check as long as it was an even split. I eat out 5 times a week, minimum. It's normal.

If you're asking them to put this or that dish on this or that tab, then yeah, that's fucking obnoxious and you shouldn't do that. Just split it evenly among all the cards, and if you're that one guy who freaks out because so-and-so had a glass of wine and so-and-so ordered an espresso for dessert, settle up afterwards by giving each other your spare change. Everyone actually hates that guy so I recommend you forget about it.
