I've only made eggs over easy one time and they were perfect, not because I'm a 5 star chef, but because I googled "how to make eggs over easy" and followed the directions of the most credible looking result. I think you'd have to be lazy or bad at your job to gently caress that up at even the shittiest restaurant.

So, I am the orderer of the eggs in the uncooked egg story and let me just say that I can handle a pretty undercooked egg but, Christ, when I poked the whites with a fork they literally started running across the plate. Over easy they were not.

I stuck with cooking sunny side up for way too long, and it was a constant struggle to get a good one without cooking half the yolk. Then I finally tried over easy and it's like, oh, I can consistently get far better results with a fraction of the effort, why would I ever not do this.

that's how i feel about sunny side up. there is zero chance i mess up sunny side up, but i'll break a yolk every week or two when i'm doing over easy.

I dunno, there's something about sunny side up for me. I've made perfect ones, but then other times they're just cooked half through, I just have zero consistency.

Just throw a lid over and throw in a little water after edges look a little browned for lazy sunny side up, let the steam do all the work. Ain’t pretty but it works.

Grew up in the Middle of Nowhere, Farm Country USA. In 7th grade I slept over at a friend's house and in the morning was served cereal with milk (standard American cereal, I think it was Cheerios) but they didn't refrigerate their milk. Just let that jug sit on the table all day and night until it was gone. To my city-slicker nose it was spoiled - gave off a STRONG sour/curdled milk smell - but they just ate and drank it like it was nothing. I didn't discover this until I poured a generous amount and the smell hit me. I gagged it all down out of politeness. As a kid, my daycare provider was a farm wife who just let a dozen of us kids run around their farm all day. They raised goats for milk and meat so every glass of milk provided was straight from the goat's teat and every dish that contained protein was goat: goat sloppy joes, for instance. As an adult I just drink water. PTS-Dairy, you could say.

When I cooked breakfasts at a not lovely restaurant I would have 6 burners with non stick pans for individual egg orders and 2 large omelette pans that I would swap out plus a pot for poaching and a griddle for sausage, bacon and hash browns, and scallops. I'd make hollandaise from scratch 3 times per service. We would easily put out 250 covers and made sure that big parties of 15-20 would all get their food at the same time. Im sure one or two poached eggs were slightly jammier than a guest intended. Point is watching a 5 minute YouTube video and cooking two eggs for yourself at home and calling restaurant workers lazy is pretty ridiculous.

The key to not snotty sunny side up eggs with bright yellow runny warm yolks and set whites is low heat, a relatively small non stick pan, and plenty of fat (neutral oil, clarified butter, bacon grease). you wanna crack it close to the pan so it stays compact, it shouldn't sizzle but the looser whites should begin cooking. Shake the pan so the egg comes loose. Then you let the hot oil wash over the egg and cook the thicker white bit, sort of swirl it around so the hot grease cooks the white and slides around the yolk. Season and remove with a slotted spoon, letting any excess cooking fat drip off for your next egg(s).

I was taking about the particular staff in the poster's story about the lovely eggs they got at Shari's. I've never seen a Shari's just that was particularly busy and the server trying to tell the poster that that's the way eggs over easy is done was particularly egregious. Seriously, I know how fast pace and stressful the service industry can be. I wasn't painting all service workers with that brush. I know lovely service and indifference towards customers though and it irritates me because I appreciate the hard work that goes into making a good customer experience.

This is honestly the piece that was the worst. I was career restaurant for years, I'm very forgiving, I will deal with a lot of mistakes and still leave a big tip, be polite, all that stuff. I only send food back if it's literally inedible. But trying to tell us that literal runny raw egg white over the whole plate is how it should be cooked was horrifying: like no, no, in no world is that what an over easy egg looks like...or any 'cooked' egg for that matter

Pinus Porcus posted:I love bad chain breakfast restaurants, like Shari's and Denny's, but when they are bad, it's inedible. My husband and I went to a Shari's and he orders an egg over easy. What comes out is an egg that saw a pan for maybe 30 seconds, maybe. Literally raw egg white running across the plate. According to the server, cooked egg white is actually an over medium egg, not over easy. i was in Singapore for work and had eggs with breakfast and the whites were very runny. i thought it was just a generally crap restaurant but had a second experience at a different establishment that was exactly the same. seems it's pretty common in southeast asia but uncooked eggs = salmonella has been so ingrained in my upbringing that i could not bring myself to eat it.

I've worked in some higher end places and there truly are some indifferent and lazy scumbags even at that level. They get more rare the nicer the place gets typically but goddamn they persist.

In high school I dated this Jehovah's Witness girl and one afternoon after making out in her closet for a couple hours she said I should stay for dinner. Her dad made like...stuffed meatballs? Like stuffed peppers? But meatballs with like, rice in them. The rice was crunchy and the meat was so dry and it was entirely flavorless. How to people just make food that tastes like nothing? Like they go to restaurants, they know how food is SUPPOSED to taste, right? Do they just assume it's restaurant magic or something?

Rationale posted:One time my pregnant wife was served raw chicken at a birthday party. We had neighbors that my mom is still close friends with. They invited us over for dinner one time where they were grilling a whole chicken on the BBQ. They messed something up and the whole thing was severely undercooked. We had all gotten our plates, sides and all, by the time my mom noticed and spoke up about it. They took it all back but not before their linebacker-shaped son wolfed down all of his  That must have been over 20 years ago and that story still comes up whenever my mom talks about our neighbors. Edit: not a food served story but the same neighbors had two desktop computers on a big table against a wall. The dad was one of those 90s IT guys with the cave of computer parts and would Frankenstein computers together. I went to play a game and found the CD stuck to the wall with dried red wine.

Not that most people will care but rice in meatballs is actually a pretty common Russian dish called tefteli, or alternatively hedgehog/porcupine meatballs. Of course it should be in some sauce and not be terrible but it's a thing!
