I am in Chicago for the week and am getting fatter by the second. I think I am up to like 10 hotdogs and two Italian beefs so far with one day to go.

Thursday night the guy I am working for took us to [url=http://www.rickbayless.com/restaurants/grill.html]Frontera Grill[\url]. It was pretty amazing in every respect. We were seated at the chefs table which is a bar overlooking the kitchen. We split bunch of small plates and entrees and everything was pretty great. Then there were the drinks. So. Much. Tequila. We started out with a few margaritas and then moved on to glasses of tequila. The waiter would then bring us a round of small margaritas made from what ever variety we just had. There were also some other random drinks he brought including a very good michelaita which he must have overheard me trying to explain to the people I was there with.

I had to get up at 6am the next morning and while groggy didn't feel that bad. My coworkers didn't fare as well and I spend much of the next morning walking between their rooms bringing them water, food, beer and medicine.

I think tomorrow I will give the casserole-pizza an other chance, no idea where I should get it though.

go. to. next. (or aviary and order ramen)

I think my favorite part was that after we sliced the horribly abused tenderloin into medallions, it still had some color inside. One of the family members looked at it and said "it's still too pink for me!"

My mother-in-law promptly microwaved the offending slice until it was rubber.

It's just cooking for Gods sake. No matter how fancy the kitchen, it's hot and stressful and feels sort of nice when people appreciate it but you're still happy when you're done and can take a showerrr.

lol

this is so not true, for me at least.

cooking is really relaxing and fun and reminds me (after really stressful/long days in particular) what life is really all about. IE not pissy people e-mailing back and forth about inane office poo poo and little power struggles etc. It's a good chance to suprise hug your girl, drink a bunch of wine, and end up with some delicious stuff to shove in your mouths. it's a chance to focus only on what is in front of you, instead of whatever other poo poo might be going on in your life. it's a chance to appreciate your garden, an animal that died for you, or the awesomeness of fermentation or coagulation or nature or whatever. etc etc

Going to your in-laws and they offer you a beer.
"Sure, I'll take one, thanks".
Beer tastes funny.
Look at "Born on" date and it reads 4 years ago.

I sipped it for a while before I could throw it out without them noticing. They don't drink beer and I think it was the beer I brought them the last time I was there.

Won't you just be grabbing another different appliance/tool when you get that?

Well, the difference is I grab the nutmeg grinder with the nutmegs inside, versus grabbing the jar of nutmegs from the cabinet, then the microplane from the drawer, and then rinsing off the microplane when I'm done so that the next thing we grate doesn't taste like nutmeg. It will save me upwards of a couple of minutes per year.

This would only be a danger if the lady were of low breeding and previously given to over-usage of clove, pepper, and other stimulants.

Is tipping in the Midwest different than on the coasts?

Asking this as a stupid foreigner.

Do you tip hair dressers?

I tried to tip a guy who pumped the gas, but he didn't seem to expect it - are there some service people you tip and some you don't?

Do you tip busdrivers? What about lifeguards at a pool? Front desk at hotel? The maid?

Asking because I read something confusing...

I think I may be erratically rude when stateside..

Is over tipping considered rude there as well?

And no - this shouldn't be a discussion on the merits of tipping!

Oh finally - do you tip in Canada too?

# ? Dec 5, 2012 00:05

Chef De Cuisinart: Oct 31, 2010; Brandy does in fact, in my experience, contribute to Getting Down.

I can help with hotels! If its a nice place, like 4 or 5 diamond, all staff is tippable, and it would not be an offense to do so. Especially concierge, who can generally get you into high end restaurants whereas you would not be able to on your own.

I personally tip my hairdresser.
