The dogdish one is interesting because for some reason some of them have a warning for "Not for human use."

That's soy sauce. Have you ever had pot stickers before?

I'd be really loving pissed off if I got served my food at a restaurant in a god damned dog bowl. Not as pissed off as if I'd gotten this, though:  gently caress. You.

 Was this a thing when that Simpsons joke was made or did an entire food culture somehow take it seriously?

Disney's done some experimenting with unusual serving methods, but usually in good ways. Disney Springs recently opened a bar that's themed as being owned by Jock, the pilot from the beginning of Raiders of the Lost Ark. It's all 1930s pulp adventure and aviation on the inside and on the menu and has a lot of references to stuff like The Rocketeer. If you order the pretzels, they come like this:

Unlike a 2x4 used to serve yogurt.

As a dishwasher, that's what baffles me about these bizarre plating techniques. How the hell do you pass a sanitation inspection like that? We get inspected weekly, and the inspector is all about rubbing the pots & pans to make sure they're not greasy, spot checking plates for the the tiniest bit of dried-on egg, finding silverware with spots, etc. Obviously my Army cafeteria isn't serving artisan SOS on actual shingles. But I don't get how you can serve food in a shoe or a dog dish labeled "not for use by humans" and get away with it, strictly from a Health Dept view. The little shopping cart maybe gets a pass because that looks like something you can toss in the machine and let the 190 degree water do its job. Same for poo poo like bricks and slate slabs, though I pity those poor dishwashers who have to load loving ROCKS into a machine.

On a lighter note, last night I thought of this thread when I went to this German bar by my house and they served me a pretzel on a bamboo cutting board. At least when they brought out a bratwurst for my husband it was on a plate.

If I was served this, I would leave without paying. I'm not paying my hard earned dollars to eat something out of a GOD drat DOG BOWL, it looks like a tactic to break a POW's will.

PhazonLink posted:The dogdish one is interesting because for some reason some of them have a warning for "Not for human use." Possibly because they can't guarantee that the contents of the material they're made out of meet standards for human food use. Heavy metals and poo poo. It's probably more a liability issue than "hey this will poison the poo poo out of your pet" though. Either way if I had something served to me in a dog bowl (and it wasn't advertised or labeled as such) I would chuck it on the floor and walk out. poo poo is demeaning.

What if it is a whacky dog-themed restaurant? Also if so, why the hell did you even go inside.

I always wondered what would possibly turn me into one of those stereotypical angry customers who start cursing at the restaurant waitstaff before storming out. Now, I know what it is.

I'm glad I wasn't alone with my "storm out without paying" reaction to that picture. That stray bean on the rim is the final straw that is the ultimate "gently caress you" to the customer - they didn't even care to take the extra couple seconds to plate it properly, they just took an ice cream scoop and plopped that poo poo in

Apart from the symbolism, which really is enough, they either expect you to make horrible metal-on-metal scratching noises with the cutlery, or they don't give you any, and I'm trying to come to a conclusion what would be worse.

Have some more, these are from UK, US and Mexico:   /cdn0.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/3625812/Double_Dogs_Nachos.0.jpg)   Also here's a menu from one of them:  It's basically the next logical step in the 'woah, how unhealthy and disgusting our food is, loving dirty burgers amirite - eat from a dog bowl you piece of poo poo'. Next year they'll be just throwing it all on the floor.

I too would storm out if I went into a themed restaurant that makes their kitschy conceit clear before I ordered, and then they delivered that exact thing I ordered and knew I'd receive. Jesus Christ. Edit: I've also been to a couple goon meets, and the sort of people that show up to a bowling alley with their laptops to play Diablo and not talk to anybody should probably be forced to eat out of a dog bowl everywhere they go. epsilon-6 fucked around with this message at 22:11 on May 2, 2016 |

Is a dog bowl really any worse than buying a $10 cocktail served in a mason jar

Mu Zeta posted:Is a dog bowl really any worse than buying a $10 cocktail served in a mason jar Yes because mason jars are at least fit for human use while apparently dog bowls are not. Although I strongly suspect the last not because of any inherent poison in the dog bowl's materials but because it's used to hold animal-quality food and the residue might make humans ill if not washed properly. I am not a dog bowl expert, I only studied cat and fish bowls.

The dog bowl thing is dumb as hell, but debating over if eating out of one is dangerous for a human is even dumber.

It's a pretty dumb gimmick, IMO. I think I'm more grossed out by the saucy meals served on wooden boards, though. Something about it irks me for some reason.

Wooden boards are fine for charcuterie/salumi plates and cheese. Putting saucy stuff on there is just asking for a mess.
