They're generally good for the time it takes to finish your drink, as they get too soggy and soft to use for multiple refills. That is actually a really really great idea. Props to the person who came up with it.

I mean, one of the places claiming to have originated the hamburger serves it with toast bread and forbids to use sauces. It's actually cool to have an old place serving them like that but if suddenly restaurants start putting overcooked patties between soggy pieces of toast and lock the cupboards with ketchup for the sake of it being the better original then gently caress them.

Newsflash - most things were made better with years of improvements coming little by little from different sources. Only dumb animals put ketchup on burgers. Mustard is the only acceptable condiment.

Last festival I went to the food vans used uncoated paper plates. Sure they'd get soggy, but they lasted well enough for the 15 minutes it took to eat your curry. And they broke down a lot quicker in the compost. (Cutlery was bamboo. I'm pretty sure the intent was that all meal waste could go into the biodegradables bin together)

Palpek posted:Apparently this is how some place serves ceasar salad: This is everywhere in the Twin Cities. It's irritating. The Caesar dressing is always crappy and is never fresh. Bucca actually makes one with whole anchovies that's pretty good. But, dammit, I'm not the chef! I didn't ask for ingredients, I asked for an F'n salad! Make the dressing fresh, it takes less than a minute. Tear, not cut, the leaves off the stem and toss. Garnish with fresh croutons and ask if you want black pepper. gently caress adding chicken, the salad is the course on it's own. A Caesar salad should not be a main in my opinion. It's a starter and should be flavorful, but light and easy. I've ordered a Caesar with chicken at Redstone and you can't even finish it. When I order a salad, it should be light. If I wanted heavy, I'd order a half roasted chicken. I just wanted a loving salad! /Rant off

might be wrong posted:For the record 'dialing in' is just adjusting the grind settings, it's something you do at the beginning of the day and not five times in front of a customer to look like a Cool Barista That's what I was thinking. I appreciate that it's a fancy coffee shop, and there is a certain time per drink to be expected. It was the four shots that went down the drain when my cousin said he was just going to knock it back. I didn't know what exactly "dialing it in" was until your post, but it was something I would have figured would have been done long before 9am when we got our coffee. And you could tell she wanted to show off/impress us with her ability to "dial it in". That was what came across as unnecessary, not the fact that she cared about the end product (I'm a chef, I can relate, that part is appreciated).

No. The restaurant asks him to come help them, so he does and then they refuse to take his help and he screams at them, then they cry, then he fixes it and then 3 months later they go back to doing the poo poo he told them not to do, then they go out of business

SneakyFrog posted:i wonder if one could get a lucrative youtube money gig seductively describing the experiences of frozen dinners. There was a guy who did this, the show was pretty cool and called Freezerburns but then he stopped doing it because he became depressed about how lovely a specific microwave dinner was and just stopped doing the show mid-episode. I think for a while he tried to do a follow up show that was more aimed at teaching people how to make reasonable meals out with some premade ingredients but it didn't go anywhere.

You don't think the mafioso bill collector who talks like a rejected extra from Godfather Part III was a 100% legit person? And him getting into a fistfight with the owner was staged? Plus, Ramsay himself is a dramatically better narrator than the US version guy. And the show's actually about the ins and outs of making food and running a restaurant, rather than Jersey shore family squabbles, with some perfunctory "Oh, your refrigerator is broken, your oven doesn't work, and your roof is leaking. Let's fix that and things will be better" thrown in.

Tendai posted:I feel like any time I go on my Facebook now, I am guaranteed to see a gif or lovely video of someone putting poo poo in or on biscuits that come from tubes and acting like it's a big deal and they really cooked. The worst one I saw was Oreo donut holes. They cut up biscuits (it's always loving tube biscuits, like you said), deep fried them, coated them in crushed oreo cookies, and then made the innards into an icing that they poured on the donut holes. It was loving gross as gently caress. It's then that I starting hiding all videos from recipe sites. It's the little down arrow to the right of the post title.

The US version is about yelling but still fun. I enjoy both and I wish they were both still on. It's more fun if you've worked in a commercial kitchen.

Like people said, a lot of stuff on the American show is played up for drama (and even seemingly minor things are twisted so that every episode has the same plot points half the time, its annoying). But not Amy's. That episode is Too Real

Pretty much every restaurant in the UK Kitchen Nightmares complained about being misrepresented as well. And at least one sued Ramsay afterwards. Also they are all closed. Restaurant business is hard.
