Seriously.
This is just a SLICE of the type of shit we have to deal with.
I told the FOH manager…”Ya know, some other restaurants go to a ‘limited menu’ for ‘concert weekends.’ She ‘oooohed’ and scratched her chin. 🤔😏
Oh, believe you me...I am NOT looking a gift horse in the mouth, per se. But it's a matter of degree, not kind. These W Massholes and I91 weekend warriors are spoiled as hell. And with a concert weekend and all? "I want this but not that and with a gluten-free bun. Oh, excuse me, make that artisanal sourdough. Did I mention no shrimp? Also no dairy. And an extra plate. Make it quick cuz I have to get to the show...oops, I'm late cuz everyone else is in town." lolz
Don't get me started on the "burger aficionados" who order one medium rare and then when they get it medium rare they whine that it's not how they wanted it...so they get an entirely new burger (cuz that's what we do) with the shit smashed out of it (cuz that's what I do) and that shit goes away lickety split.
You may or may not be surprised that many diners do not know how they like their red meat cooked...
I have an open invitation for "kitchen visitors," btw.
🤔 🤷♂️ 😉
I worked in restaurants in NY for a decade. Most people do not know how to order food. And most servers do not know how food should be ordered.
As my agent, you will be looking for that kind of chef for me when I buy my palatial estate 😁
Heh, at that point I was too burnt to drop my (now) semi-frequent joke. Also was just assuming that as being a cook (my degree “and a half” lol is not in the culinary arts) prior to being your agent the former duties would just carry over. 😏🙄🤓
I would never ask you to do EVERYTHING 😂
Oh hey, boss 😆 BTW --
We can watch this together TONIGHT. 👍
Thank you for the heads up. And warning that it is an ESPN broadcast 😭
Wassamatta u with Coney, Eduardo, Ravech, and Olney?
Imma send K2 to live with YOU.
😂
Eduardo in particular. You know he interviewed for the Mets job. Now listen to the game tonight. You can hear it! 😂
Eduardo did what now?
I DID NOT KNOW THIS --
Yes. The bitter drips from every syllable. I'm shocked you didn't know. He always talks about it.
@PussyFootingAround @InUnfunky
on a hot day too!
The main reasons I dont go out to eat except on special occassions:
a) I have too many food allergies that would require so many mods its not fair to staff.
b) I have wound up in hospital ER's in Anaphylactic shock from servers/staff who forgot that the X ingredient, which I asked about, was actually in the dish I ordered.
So I save everyone the stress & time and eat at home except for specific restaurants I know and have been to for years.
EXACTLY.
This bakery doesn't use anything I am allergic to except eggs in 2 bakery items. It was amazing. And the stuff I was buying is for me to cook at home and not risk life and limb for a burger.
I found full sized burrito wraps that are GF so I am making a chicken burrito for dinner. I am so excited!!!
@Bliss @PussyFootingAround @InUnfunky
Very thoughtful.
I forgot a rare one (oof) that I'd never encountered before; this happened Friday during dinner rush -- bartender comes back and relays a message vis a vis a burger called "the Squealer" (half MA ground beef, half house-cured bacon) "Please cook it VERY well-done cuz guy has an allergy. There can be no pink." 🤔 🤷♂️
I told her dude should eat something else but proceeded to hockey puck the damn thing.
AFAIK dude turned out okay.
🤷♂️ 😎
@InUnfunky @PussyFootingAround
That's insane. its not the server's or cook's responsibility. I would just order something else from the jump.
Ummmm hmmm.
👍
Numerous jokes and references were made -- esp. to the Simpson fugu episode, despite not being exactly analogous lol -- as you can imagine.
🤓
1. That burger sounds delicious
2. WTF. You don't order something you are allergic to and hope the chef can burn the allergens out of it!
This is why you hate us 🤬
Exactly; dude's sanity and smarts were questioned.
But hold up...
What are you talking about --
As your future potential agent I MOST CERTAINLY DO NOT hate you.
I mean, not yet at least...
😮 😆 ❤️
@InUnfunky
I drove an hour away to get gf burger buns, Italian garlic bread and waffles. They didn't have the waffles, so I ordered them for next week and will do it all over again.
Let's put a positive spin on this:
They trust that it is good. Because I can tell you, I would rather drive an hour for good food I can eat than bad food that is near by.
