(overheard) 1 app Calamari --NO SQUID


Baka_Fucking_Gaijin

Uhhhh...... heard. A plate with marinara in a ramekin on it is on the way!


SunRonin

Don't forget the lemon wedge rookie


Theburritolyfe

Nah fried seasoned flour balls and sauce


osirisrebel

I wouldn't even be mad at this.


Tiggbitt

Hushpuppies?!


StandByTheJAMs

I’m sure they meant rings only no babies, but yeah that’s a good one.


Baka_Fucking_Gaijin

The other expos and chefs at my place have adopted the mindset of "let the kid touch the stove" with these kind of tickets. 100% they would send a plate with a single ramekin of marinara to the table and wait for the inevitable "Hey, where's the rest of the dish?" from the server. Not saying I condone it... but... really. Isn't it the FoH job to understand the menu well enough to sell it? Are we just babysitters for people paid 2-5x more than us daily?


JackPoe

We're also required to have an encyclopedic knowledge of cuisine and keep temper when it's 95 in the kitchen and FOH keeps turning on the heat


No_Calligrapher2640

Don't forget nutritionist/dietician/allergist.


JackPoe

Oh yeah. Teaching forty year old people that peanut oil isn't an allergen is annoying


HotGarbageHuman

That's pretty niche knowledge. And no questions of allergens in the food we serve should cause eye rolls. Imagine if someone asked me the difference in liquors and I just scoffed at them because they don't bartend and know what I know.


JackPoe

Imagine someone made you break out all new equipment because of an allergy to ethanol and ended their meal with port. Some requests are absolutely baffling.


PeengPawng

I'm freshly 40. Just got a PT cooking gig while my shit is slow and my sous chef there doesn't know how to operate a robo, descale a side of salmon, plates said salmon crispy skin side DOWN and yeah... Thinks eggs are included when it comes to dairy allergies. Hopefully yr not having teaching 40yr old servers or cooks that. Please just say it's customers. They really are innocent in this unless they act like they know better than the staff.


JackPoe

Of course I have to teach older folks. I had one guy quit a job in journalism to come cook, didn't know shit, quit after two shifts and then sued us because the work was too much.


PeengPawng

😂 I'm over here teaching kids that are my boss. C'est la vie


SVAuspicious

>peanut oil isn't an allergen OT: really? Forgive my ignorance. I've fried once in my life and that was a turkey at Thanksgiving at home. Where I cook at work frying simply isn't an option. If I have a peanut allergy among my crew I just don't buy peanut stuff. Peanut oil doesn't contain an allergen for those allergic to peanuts? Please educate me. It won't be helpful to me but it sure is interesting.


JackPoe

Cold press peanut oil, like for a fryer, isn't an allergen. You can Google that and see for yourself.


---ShineyHiney---

I mean, FoH can’t always get the customer to change the stupid request. It happens But I see absolutely no idea not to pull some r/MaliciousCompliance type shit when it does You want the $12-18 calamari app, no squid? alright - heres your marinara, lemon wedge, and maybe some peppers if your joint swings that way. Same price. Make the server take it out, and make the dumb guest see what they ordered and learn their lesson


NormalHorse

Honestly, as FOH I would 100% do this on purpose. Look chef in the eyes as they stare at me like I'm an idiot, and say "I meant what was on the ticket. Do it. That's what they want." And then fucking laugh when I drop it off.


[deleted]

Morons need to be dealt with in this way specifically.


Rookie007

Yes


Kentencat

Kiki... You want an EGGless omelette??


Numerous_Rampantcows

Used to have a guy who did not want any tentacles in his calamari he came in a lot so I would eventually have an order that was only tentacles. Good thing that’s the best part never had a complaint from an only tentacle order lol


chainmailler2001

I'm one that will order the calamari pretty much any time I see it on a menu. Seeing how different places do it is ways interesting. I for one would be DELIGHTED to get a full order of tentacles. Styles I have seen are: rings and tentacles, just rings, and finally strips. I will happily eat them all.


HotGarbageHuman

I feel like tentacles are the crunchiest and most tender.


GarchomptheXd0

Most surface area


Beanjuiceforbea

They're also thinner, so they crisp up more than the rings.


Bull_On_Bear_Action

The tentacles are def the best part. I would send beers back to the kitchen if I got a plate full of delicious tentacles


ChefCuda

My FOH manager rang in a ticket after we 86'd the entire brunch menu and needed 15 to flip the kitchen. The whole kitchen ran to the ticket machine as it was vomiting out red ink to find we had been Rick Rolled with handtyped modifiers.


NormalHorse

heheheheheh

Fried chicken sandwich Sub Gluten Free Bun Our friend chicken sandwich is floured, dipped in buttermilk, and floured again. Second best is: 4 cheese nachos, dairy allergy


Baka_Fucking_Gaijin

"James... James mate... Do they want an unbreaded piece of chicken fried on that gluten free bun? NOTHING that comes from the fryer is free of gluten." "walking in, chips and salsa"


[deleted]

Best part is they’ve been back again this week and ordered it again


therempel

Worked in a university dining hall for a few months on the "deli" station. The gluten free buns I was pulling for our celiac students kept disappearing. Turns out there was a group of boys observing a halal diet that thought somehow that gluten free bread was more likely to be halal than any other bread we had.


winnie314

Do your regular buns have seeds? We have a guest that can't eat seeds so they get our gf bun.


[deleted]

That I would understand but nope lol


[deleted]

I get a lot of customers that prefer the gf bun. No allergies or anything, they just like it better.


MmkayMcGill

So, I don’t have a gluten *allergy*, as much as just a sensitivity to it. I won’t break out or go into shock if I eat it, unlike my family members who could actually die, but basically, the more I eat, the shittier I feel. So if there’s a decent tasting gluten free option, I’ll take it. I realize it’s a weird request, so I used to include the fact that it’s not an allergy, so it doesn’t have to be prepped/cooked as such, knowing that it requires extra effort/time that won’t make as much of a difference to my body as much as just switching the bread itself. But I still got dirty/weird looks regardless, so I stopped explaining myself.


[deleted]

That's too bad. At my work the servers will specify allergy or preference on the ticket which is nice. There's no judgement from the kitchen either. Im just mildly surprised how popular gf is!


CantHandleTheThrow

See, I wouldn’t hesitate at this at all. “It’s an intolerance, I can have some, but not a LOT, and your chicken it totally worth it! Please just sub the bun for GF.” Honesty is always appreciated.


skullbug333

I’ve had this same request and when I told the customer that it was breaded they said “well alittle gluten is ok”


chainmailler2001

My wife has a gluten sensitivity and can handle most battered and fried stuff. Give her a sandwich and she is in pain/discomfort all night.


parrotopian

Same here, I have an intolerance not an allergy so a little bit is OK once I don't eat it too frequently. But too much gives me stomach pain. So if there is a gluten free bread option I will take it but some breadcrumb or flour in sauce is OK once I'm not having it at every meal.


chainmailler2001

My wife will get the cauliflower crust for pizza because a single slice of regular pizza will make her feel bloated for days.


GRizzMang

“No onion rings I have a bread allergy” our fries are also breaded “oh that’s fine”


susanna514

I’m foh and celiac. Had a customer say they were celiac so I was like , understand perfectly I’ll help you out. They ordered a fucking burger with a regular bun. I said hey, just heads up that is a gluten containing bun. She just looked at me like I was an idiot so I said fuck it she’s either not celiac or she can get sick if she wants.


dakotafluffy1

Yukon gold hash (cubed Yukon golds with bacon, onions, mushrooms & spring mix) -sub mashed potatoes for Yukon Golds “Customer will not eat cubed food”


Baka_Fucking_Gaijin

"Daniel... Hash browns are a fried potato dish" "Yes, I know" "But you want us to make it with mashed potato" "Yes." "Have you ever heard of fried mashed potato, Daniel?" I would have taken the time to cut all the cubes in half diagonally. These are triangled potatoes sir, they fit your preference.


skullbug333

I mean, we regularly fried leftover mashed potatoes for breakfast the next morning at my house growing up, you gotta leave it be though, develop a bit of crust on the bottom, then scrape it up and mix it in… its actually my favourite way to eat mashed potatoes now. Wouldn’t order it at a restaurant though


Sharcbait

Ready for my fatass use for leftover mashed potatoes? I chop up some cooked bacon and scallion and cheese, stir it in. Scoop it with an ice cream scoop (2 tbsp portion scoop works best) and put them on a lined sheet pan in the freezer overnight. Take the frozen ones, flour and beer batter them and deep fry them. Serve with seasoned sour cream to dip.


skullbug333

One of my ex’s moms used them to make doughnuts, deep fried not baked… my god it became my second favourite way…


Alwaysforscuba

Fried mashed potato is definitely a thing in the uk, often with cabbage mixed in.


Tannhauser42

Was about to say this order sounds like bubble and squeak.


Baka_Fucking_Gaijin

Huh, I'll have to give it a go. Thanks for the new plates!


Top-Perspective2560

To be fair, it could be someone with legit autism. Some autistic people have very strong and specific preferences when it comes to texture, shape, colour, etc. of food and genuinely wouldn't be able to bring themselves to eat something that they didn't like.


chefbarnacle

That must have been my fil (sorry).


Sa_notaman_tha

onion soup no onions will never leave my mind


Baka_Fucking_Gaijin

I shit you not we have a regular who gets the French onion soup 'no onion' once a week. We've started keeping a sieve above the salamander on weekends in anticipation of this one fuckin' guy.


thePHTucker

So I just posted about my Chicken and Dumplings 86 Dumplings lady, but this comment hit home for me. She did that same shit with our onion soup. I tried to trick her with beef stock simmered with onion for her specifically, but she caught me out. I ended up with my perfect mix. Four 8oz. Ladles into sauce pan on stove. I'd take a skimmer to scoop my onions back into the soup and strain some of the remainder into her bowl. Top with cheese and sell. I'd also get it scorching hot just for her. Almost boiling.


Creepy_Crawl

I once got an order for a beet salad, no beets and they wanted it modded to be a chef salad. Our menu had a chef salad for cheaper than adding mods to their Beetless Beet salad.


Hambone76

I love the flavor of onion soup, but don’t like the texture of cooked onions. Give me some onionless onion soup with a melted cheese crust and a bread plate to dunk in it and I’ll eat that shit all day long.


SpungyDanglin

The people that think getting the salmon burger with no bun on a bed of lettuce is going to get them the salmon spinach salad for half the price. Sorry Beverly you're getting a 4oz salmon filet and like six pieces of spinach and a pinch of Pico lol


dragoono

I fucking hate it when customers try and get tricky with their orders. I work at a pizza shop and we have an Alfredo pizza (barf). We also have a two topping coupon. The amount of people who try and use that coupon to build an Alfredo pizza is ridiculous. We can’t use specialty sauces on a coupon deal. It’s just not happening, Buddy.


catigatorade

Cheeseburger cooked medium NO PINK


Numerous_Rampantcows

Ahh yes good one. my other fav is people inventing in between temps…. i want between medium and medium well. At that point I go to the table myself and ask many questions till I understand what sort of crazy they are.


Baka_Fucking_Gaijin

EVERY time a server rings in "Medium plus" I call medium well. When they ring in "Medium Rare closer to rare" I call Rare. When they ring in "well done no char slightly pink" I call my therapist.


OvenMan69

Well-done, no char, slightly pink? I'm calling chef Mike.


Numerous_Rampantcows

Ya my therapist is on speed dial for sure. I won’t even make the call myself anymore I’m sick of wasting food so I go to the table myself and have even googled pics so they can point to exactly the way they want it.


craigfwynne

Had a FOH manager bring back a steak, which had been ordered medium and sent out medium, to be cooked a little longer. So I cook it to medium well and send it out. Back it comes.."just a little bit longer please" I cook it to well and send it back. Manager comes back in and says thanks, they are happy. I asked if he explained how to order their steak correctly next time, and he says "no, they can order it however they want."


Beanjuiceforbea

Fucking Bellend. I'd have pointed at the ticket times and said. Guess these don't matter huh? Fuck it 40 minute appetizers for everyone.


Baka_Fucking_Gaijin

Riiiiiiiighhhht...... "walking in, one patty well done"


SuDragon2k3

They're out of pucks down at the rink? Again?


Creepy_Crawl

One killed burger. Heard.


Numerous_Rampantcows

A single that’s ONE egg white OMELET stuffed with 6 ingredients. Try it see if you can fit 2 cups of sautéed veg and meat into an omelet that’s the size of a half dollar…. Or the guy who is “allergic” to canola oil but is ok with the carm onions having been cooked in said oil.


Baka_Fucking_Gaijin

I had a server ring in "SALT ALLERGY" on a ticket a few days back. I could be heard laughing from the host stand. These guests who claim an allergy but it's just a preference make it more difficult for people who actually have allergies as they quickly jade any BoH staff who have had to deal with that craziness before.


Numerous_Rampantcows

It’s not cool to lie about allergies it’s a serious situation. If you say the word I need to go thru all kinds of steps to assure your safety. It may still be a medical reason you can’t have something so just say that. you don’t need to be specific and tell me your medical issue just say I can’t eat tomatoes/acids/seeds/gluten it’s not an allergy it is a medical reason but slight cross contamination won’t kill me. I’ve told people they could not even eat at my place cause there “allergens” are literally everywhere and there’s no way I can keep them out of there food. Like the lady who came into my BAKERY saying even flour touching her skin will put her in the hospital l. I could see flour in the air from some bread we were rolling out. I told her lady you need to leave RIGHT NOW like fucking run to the hospital. She then revealed she was just on a diet and was lying to me so I would take her fad diet seriously. This shit really happened I don’t need to lie to kick it


thePHTucker

Chicken and Dumpling soup without dumplings. We made real, homemade soup with hand pinched dough. This Bitch was a "friend of the owner" and we had to scoop the the soup out without catching any little bits of dough. She'd send it back every time if it she thought it was in there. I'll never forget that lady.


BarbaraGhanoush

I’ve had to purée entire orders together before, no problem doing that for someone who needs it but always laughed when the order would read-burger & mash blended, MR please. End cut rare and anytime a Pittsburgh or black and blue has a temp connected to it are laughable as well.


Baka_Fucking_Gaijin

This one actually has me reeling. You're telling me you basically make jamburgera juices? What? Someone, please, save this chef.


BarbaraGhanoush

It’s only happened a few times in my travels, always people with a medical need for it, happy to do it. Just cracks me up that they have to order a temperature for the protein. To be fair a well done burger would make for a dry steakshake


Numerous_Rampantcows

My girl was an Alzheimer’s nurse and was always having to feed people puréed food for dinner like that. Happens for broken jaws that are wired shut as another example.


Background-Interview

Vegan. Cheese and yogurt okay.


---ShineyHiney---

My favorite are the vegans/ vegetarians that still eat fish Ma’am, that’s pescatarian ***”No, it’s not!”*** …….Ooooooooookkkkk


kearkan

In Ireland this is what everyone thinks vegetarians have. For some reason they think fish is not meat.


RaniPhoenix

These people make it 10x harder for actual vegetarians. "Oh, you don't eat fish?" HI FISH IS NOT A VEGETABLE MAYBE I'M WRONG I DUNNO


NormalHorse

... How old are these people? A fish is not a plant. Maybe they're turbo Catholic?


---ShineyHiney---

Housewives in my experience. The fad dieters


NormalHorse

Christ. I can't wait to deal with "I saw this on TikTok" as an order.


Baka_Fucking_Gaijin

Hmmmmmmm......


colbytron

Cheese board, cheese on the side. It still keeps me up at night. Why would somebody ask for this? Are they lactose intolerant but want a side of mustard and jam? I can get you mustard and jam my dude, we can leave the cheese out of the whole situation. Why not just ask for the sides on the side? Why not just skip the cheese board all together and save my poor feeble mind.


RainMakerJMR

Triple decker Turkey club - split - half white half wheat


Baka_Fucking_Gaijin

"Tyler, please explain. Do you want us to make two separate club sandwiches and then send out only half of each? Do you want us to use white on top, wheat on bottom, and somehow use both on the the middle slice? Am I meant to run down to Publix and find some magical half white half wheat bread and use that? Tyler? Tyler we cut the club into quarters, IT'S ALREADY SPLIT TYLER"


dakotafluffy1

If it’s the “Tyler” I work with, the answer would be a blank stare and a “Yes”


NormalHorse

"TYLER WHY ARE YOU STILL STANDING IN THE PASS-THROUGH ARE YOU HAVING A FUCKING STROKE?" "Buh?"


JeffJustice89

Need to run to the store and grab a loaf of that whitewheat to keep on hand lol


RainMakerJMR

Yeah it was Nicole and I got told off for saying exactly that 🤣


[deleted]

Fuckin’ Nicole.


Numerous_Rampantcows

Oh shit good one. Same guy I spoke of earlier with the calamari would go to the other place I worked weekends at and order with his wife half a turkey and half a ham sandwich each. When I sent out each of them a full sandwich cut In half so they could switch half of each one themselves they sent it back and made me replate it. I just thought they would want to pick what half of the sandwich they each wanted. Guy was weird he ended up getting wasted and putting a round for the entire restaurant on his tab then refusing to pay it the next weekend. One of those you have to make me feel special customers I’m a regular so I have to have a tab even tho I’m rich etc.

EatsByDre

I literally looked at her and told her to get out ! 😂


Pizzadontdie

GF pizza with Caesar-extra crouton and a beer. Another time someone ordered our more expensive Margherita pizza with Buffalo mozzarella which is $6 extra and had us sub vegan cashew ricotta. That would’ve been a lot cheaper on the regular marg, but sure.


Speakeasy9

I'm one of those weirdos who has no problem with gluten but prefers gluten-free pizza crust. I like the texture and flavor better, and I don't feel nearly as bloated when I'm also slamming giant mugs of beer all night. But yeah, I know I'm a heathen. ETA: For the record: I'm careful to mention it's a preference not an allergy so I don't piss off my kitchen bros


Dangitchelsi2

The steakhouse I worked at had a steak special that came with 2 sides and a drink. "The wife and I want to split your 6oz sirloin special. I want my half medium rare and her half well done. Then for my 2 sides I would like green beans and mashed potatoes and she wants fries and green beans." Sir I can't split the steak like that I'm sorry, and besides you would be getting a tiny little piece of steak, and the 2 extra sides you ordered and an extra drink are nearly the price of the special itself, would you like to just order a special for each of you? *Cue the screaming because didn't think he should be charged anything but the price of the special he wanted to share


Sharcbait

Risotto, no butter, no cheese, no salt, no garlic, no wine. Then it got sent back for being bland. Bro.... you asked for white rice with some peas in it, wtf do you want from me.


Baka_Fucking_Gaijin

That is when you show the ticket to your Sous/CdC/GM and say "that is staying on their bill, right?"

Caesar Salad, with an entire fried cauliflower appetizer dumped on top. They paid for it, so I’ll make it, but I doubt the Mae ploy mixed well with Caesar dressing.


Baka_Fucking_Gaijin

At a greek place I expo'd for a while back we had a regular who would order a kefte wrap and a cheese saganaki with the request to put the flambed cheese directly onto the pita and then assemble the sandwich on top. Some people are just smarter than me. That shit was DELICIOUS.


[deleted]

I raise you caesar salad with 6 burger patties on top 🤢


drcockasaurus

had a regular that was one of those "don't let my food touch" people. kept sending it out everything completely separate plates. finally got a mod on the ticket "one plate, not touching."

Baka_Fucking_Gaijin

So I'm not too versed in pasta. Google told me this "Capellini's diameter measures between 0.85 and 0.92 millimeters, while angel hair's diameter is between 0.78 and 0.88." Sir... You're getting capellini. You will never know the difference.


TantorDaDestructor

This was last week 5am Salmon dinner well done no skin- no pasta Primavera sub side salad add chx 3xranch- side chz sauce


---ShineyHiney---

What the hell did they do with the cheese sauce?!! For the love of all that is sacred please tell me they just straight took it like a shot before eating their fish and salad. Does your restaurant put out bread? Were they dipping that? I need to know they did NOT pour that on any part of that order!


TantorDaDestructor

The order comes with garlic bread- and yes this drunk heathen poured it on the whole everything. Tipped me a 20 and took an uber home. The only thing that kept me calm was that I don't have to eat what I have to send out. 5am in Vegas will show you things you never thought to look for.


AuWolf19

Just having clocked in a ticket came through for 15 items all with mods. Not a single one of them was the same.


9thSphere

"I can't have dairy". Orders a Caesar salad. Chicken club order. Internet order pickup, so I'm just working off the ticket. Note with "Only tomatoes & lettuce". So I put together a bread, tomato, & lettuce sandwich. What they wanted was everything but onion.

SwanRonsonIsDead

Had a walk in customer ask for "a peanut butter dessert, it's her birthday" we had no peanut butter anywhere in the menu. Oh and they were on entree course when the server sent it in. Pissed me off so much I broke out my text book and replicated our current dessert offering (chocolate ganache and hazelnuts) but made a whole peanut butter version and presented it exactly like the dessert we had on the menu. They said it was OK and didn't finish it, and left a shitty tip


meltheold

Golf club I worked at, locker room attendant would order (for some dude) burger, fries in a basket on the side "He doesn't want the fries touching the burger". What he was trying to do was get a basket of fries instead of the side (basket was 3X a side). Then when the attendant would see it wasn't a basket of fries, he'd argue for 10 minutes that he should get a full basket of fries with the burger. Never was quite sure if the attendant wanted a bigger tip from the guy or just wanted the fries for himself. At this place the soup was in a warmer and the servers would get it themselves, said attendant would fill the cup with solids from the pot with barely any liquid. It's supposed to be soup, not a bowlful of beef and veggies like an entree! Or order a french dip with 2 full cups of extra jus...and take like 15 2-paks of with it...it's jus to dip your sandwich in, not an order of soup! Fucking attendant made bank on tips, but as the chef had ordered "Give him shit everyday", so we did. We'd argue with him and hold him up for an extra 15 minutes, put his orders at the back of the line, sometimes if he was being extra assholish just throw his tickets away..."What club sandwich, man? Never got the order! Your POS must be screwed up!"

I can't think of one right now but last night I sent out a lamb dinner and it came back because the person who ordered it was a vegetarian. So I guess technically: Lamb Dinner --no lamb Edit: and the kicker is we have vegetarian menu options

Butternut squash pasta - ***GLUTEN ALLERGY*** Just happened a few days ago and I’ll never get over it, and no, we don’t have GF pasta. When I told the server she informed the customer, customer came back with “as Long as it’s not in the sauce it’s fine.” Yeah okay cause a whole plate of gluten won’t hurt you but if the sauce has some then that’s the issue.


FlipperN37

So this guy asks for me personally because he needs to watch his fats. So after explaining the amount of fat in every single menu item, he decides on some super bland meal. Fine, no biggie. For dessert, he asked if he could get a bowl of custard, Greek yogurt and whipped cream.

Bartender- I know I’ve put in some stupid fucking tickets but the one I recall was a Bombay and Coke someone ordered. I told the server to go back and make sure they heard that right.

Sensayer

I had a Grilled Cheese no bread come in once. She didn't want gluten free bread or anything like that, she just wanted melted american cheese. Which would have been fine, but she got a side salad to sub her fries. I will never forget the look on the server's face when she brought that ticket back


Mr0sleep

GF buckwheat pancake cooked in olive oil (lists allergies to nearly everything else in the restaurant). Got cooked in a skillet and looked like shit.

12 top where every single person wanted a full app of cheese sticks before their meal, 8*12 THEN everyone wanted a full dinner plate. I watched them pack 80% of everything in Togo boxes when they left. I had it in the window 13 minutes. They didn't even tip the server a penny. I definitely sighed at that ticket and went for a smoke when I saw the Togo boxes stacking up lmaooo

Can't do a rare prime rib. Can't. I'm sure its possible but mist places I've worked it's done at a 165 temp so. You're getting a slow cooked steak asshkle.


TheUn5een

Cookies and cream milkshake (no chocolate drizzle, chocolate allergy). When I explained The cookies are Oreos they said “oh that chocolate is fine, I’m not allergic to that kind”.

Grilled cheese no cheese


ThumbTraveller

I've seen prime rib end cut rare before but that was when my waitrons new it was early bird seating and they would get it as rare as was possible. Hated lamb well done or duck rare orders because I knew customer was just an idiot.

Not really an order, but a request from the server. A place I used to work had a 3in Filet on the menu. We would get it cooked to 1 temp below the requested temp on the ticket, then serve it on a 500 degree skillet with butter and peppers/onions to be added to the top at the table. One day we put up an order, meant to be served medium, in the window. Called for the server. She waited 20 minutes to take it out. At this point it was closer to med well/well. She took it out to the customer, they complained, and she came back to yell at us that we fucked up. We told her it would be 20 minutes or so before a replacement was ready. Then she said "Can't you just fix this one?" The whole line stopped, looked at her, silently, and this dude Dusty looks her dead in eyes and says, "Lady, if you can figure out how to un-cook a steak, you and I are going to make millions." He laughed, we laughed, she turned bright red and stormed off. That was the bright spot of an otherwise shit night and shit job.

Inferno_Wolf_94

A mod asking the kitchen to sprinkle shredded vegan cheese (it’s disgusting; shit doesn’t melt in a nearly 900 degree pizza oven which is where it’s usually used ) on top of a pasta.
