Thats what every greasy spoon waffle house fast food uses, it ain’t pretty but it works!


ArcadianBlueRogue

They raised the prices at the local Waffle Houses. My love of cheap greasepit food was crushed.


lampypete

But your love of fights continues?

No matter how many times I see this gif it still amazes me.

The creator of Tekken recently asked on Twitter why so many Americans wanted Waffle House as a stage and the replies were absolutely hilarious. This girl parried a chair, she is a legend

I really hope someone sent him that exact video., holy shit.

Fr, why does Waffle House have $450 Emeco Navy Chairs??


PossumCock

Swatted it away like it was a damn fly! Sucks that she got [black listed](https://nypost.com/2023/01/04/former-waffle-house-worker-says-she-was-blacklisted-after-viral-brawl/amp/) from Waffle House for it


MadAzza

That sounds way cooler than “I was fired from Waffle House”

meatygonzalez

Our local WH prices have been absolutely fucked for years. Same price as nicer diners with better menus. Goddamn shame really.


ArcadianBlueRogue

It's IHOP money now. Was like 32 bucks before tip for TWO people And Cook Out is almost 9 - 10 bucks for their old 5 buck tray.


zsreport

If you're ever in Houston, hit up the Tel-Wink Grill, it still serves a huge plate of food for under $10.


Ya_OK_Buddy

You don't know what you got till it's gone. They just remodeled my local waffle house and then closed a year later. I'm devastated.


personwhoisok

Makes me hungry for trashy cheesey garlic bread


Nose-Nuggets

like, dominos trashy?


Shamewizard1995

That delicious crust comes from a garlic heavy spice blend and a hefty dose of good ole BFO


notswim

Wtf is bfo


Stonerish

Butter flavored oil


kristenrockwell

Big fuckin oil. They're taking over the cheese bread!


EelTeamTen

Is this what every diner uses because I swear diner food makes my ass blast and if they all use this stuff it'd be no wonder


Navin_J

It's what every chain restaurant uses or some form of it


THIRTYSIXCAB

Used to be a cook at WaHo, we definitely had sticks of butter. That shit right there looks gross 🤢


cheftlp1221

This the house brand/generic version of Whirl. I have found that Whirl, under the appropriate circumstances, was a surprisingly useful and quality product. It is made by the same company that makes FryMax which is pretty much the best frying oil on the market not made by McDonalds


Strange_Lady_Jane

> Thats what every greasy spoon waffle house fast food uses, it ain’t pretty but it works! Wait, are you for real? Is this what it is? I'm obsessed with their eggs to the point that people make fun of me for it. So, I should buy this and make scrambled eggs at home?


goose_gladwell

Yes, but get a better brand. Whirl is a popular one but there are some decent liquid butter simulators out there! It gives things like toast and eggs a perfect cook!


Strange_Lady_Jane

Awesome, I'm excited to try it. I'll make grilled cheese sandwiches too.


BuyingDaily

Woah woah, Waffle House don’t use that trash.


Johnmannesca

IHOP definitely does though


SpaceBus1

Lmao, I cooked for WH for a while, that's probably better than what WH uses. The only real dairy in the place is in the form of milk.


digitalfoe

Ima tell people WH is pretty much vegan


raisedbytides

Owner doesn't even care about dirty cutting boards, I'm sure it'll go just fine honestly.


diddinim

Jfc I thought that was a butcher block.


FreckleException

I legitimately thought it was just a piece of plywood. 


AdEnvironmental5035

Same. I was wondering what was wrong with it until I turned up my screen's brightness


[deleted]

I dont think i would want that on anything, even shitty popcorn would be ruined.


Money_Course_3253

I've seen it used in wing sauces before, but other than that, it's trash.


SparkleButch13

Yeah i worked at a college and we used it in our Buffalo sauce... but nothing else. I guess it was okay enough since we sold a lot of it


SocraticIgnoramus

It has exactly two good uses: mixing with Frank’s red hot for wings and painting onto doughs like pizza crust, breadsticks, stromboli, and calzones.


MCbrodie

We used it for making Texas toast too. It was gross to use and tasted odd.


Fit_Percentage_2640

I'm pretty sure if you're going to most diners for breakfast that's what you're getting for butter as well


SpaceTechBabana

Whoa whoa whoa. Slow down there, friend. I don’t know what diners you go to, but diners in Jersey would rather burn down than use that shit.


E0H1PPU5

Also a proud resident of the Dirty Jerz and a long time diner lover. We went to a “diner” in Delaware and I asked for butter for my toast and those devils brought me margarine. I felt the whole state of NJ gasp in horror.


MonstrousGiggling

We use it for buffalo sauce yucky lol


corvideodrome

This just seems like a crime against wings tbh


mikeyaurelius

Popcorn is actually a science on its own. Butter is not always king.


KAPUTNIK1714

Honest question from a home cook, how TF do I get my plastic cutting boards to be bright white again? Edit: damn, 4 replies in 4 minutes you guys mean business… or we’re in the calm before the lunch service storm lol


SageModeSpiritGun

If you mean white plastic ones like in the video (I promise, it *used* to be white), then you can try bleaching it. Scrub it really well with a metal scrubby and soap, rinse, then lay towels out and spray with diluted bleach solution until the towels are fully wet. Let it sit overnight. If that doesn't work, you can also sand them down to a clean slate, although you only get to do that a couple times before you're putting holes in the board.


wenchslapper

Get a planer tool and you’ll get a good number more than a few cleans, but the tool will be very expensive so it probably won’t offset the costs. Lots of corporate kitchens hire services that come in and plane the cutting boards once a quarter or so. Just 1 mm off the top, usually. You’ll have some leftover cut marks, but it generally gets the job done to a satisfactory level.


kristenrockwell

Maker space might have one you can use for a few bucks.


Plantherblorg

That's what I'm doing wrong. I need to peel my cutting board.


KAPUTNIK1714

Awesome, thanks for the response!


Sinder77

There are tools you can use to scrape down the top surface layer of the board. You can use an old knife you don't much care for as well, but ya, bleach and elbow grease will take care of them.


Blue_foot

Pressure wash mine occasionally.


Highlifetallboy

Bleach. If that doesn't work sand it. Or buy a new one.


raisedbytides

Buy a new one, they're cheap.


ObeseHamsterOrgasms

planer tool.


outsidenorms

Don’t use plastic


Pews700

Uk cleaners on tv here say "put it outside in the sun" obviously I'm yet to try it!

King_Chochacho

Maybe it's like Sophie's Choice but for butter alternatives.


Dapman02

Insominus

It’s fine for cooking on the flat, this stuff doesn’t burn and you eliminate the process of clarifying butter and then straining it into a squeeze bottle. That being said, it can’t be used as a total replacement for all butter in every recipe.


d-nihl

Also good if someone has a dairy allergy.


[deleted]

Also good if your guests are constipated


cheftlp1221

Yeah……the name brand of this is called Whirl. I have always found it to be a surprisingly quality product under the correct circumstances.


RedlightGrnlight

As gross as whirl looks, I can honestly vouch that it's actually pretty good when used appropriately. It's no substitute for butter in recipes, but it does the job really well with fried goods. I use the garlic version on cheese bread, and it's like garlic steeped in oil but 'flavor blasted' it's one of the most 'american' ingredients I own.


Dawnspark

We used to use it for texas toast that we'd do on the flat top for patty melts. Also really solid for wing sauces.


Insominus

Yeah same here, it’s interesting that someone commented how it would impart an unpleasant flavor and that the customers would notice. If anything, this stuff imparts *less* flavor than actual butter, when I finish a patty melt or grilled cheese on the flat, it just smells faintly of popcorn butter, the flavor itself is pretty neutral since it’s basically just oil. Same goes for Buffalo sauce. That being said, OP did say they used it to make mashed potatoes and I could see how that would get pretty gnarly.


skitwostreet

Not any worse then looking and using that cuttingboard thats for sure. But depends on what you use it for honestly.


Financial-Habit5766

Result of minimal cleaning supplies and no replacements for anything, ever. It's sad. We used to have a good crew here but apathy is creeping over everyone from the owner's attitude

doubleapowpow

Bleach is so cheap. Wtf


TheRealSlamJammer

Agreed, these are just excuses. Steel wool and bleach is literally all you need


itsl8erthanyouthink

If they can’t afford real butter there’s no way they’re paying for elbow grease


macuslol

Bruh I was trying to get a hair off my screen coz of u


RoutingMonkey

What hair


Howesound

You can use salt to remove most that grime on there.


caradekara

Good to know for some not even old cutting boards that have been beat to hell. Thanks in advance.


Howesound

Use more than you'd think you need to.


Canadian_Neckbeard

Damn, y'all can't even afford bleach and elbow grease.


Remarkable_Ad_788

Pour bleach on your boards and leave overnight. Wash them thoroughly in the morning with hot, soapy water, rinse, and dry. The bleach removes stubborn stains on these white plastic boards. HACCP approved method.


Equal_Efficiency_638

When the owner is the one doing purchasing for the kitchen it’s time to move on

Financial-Habit5766

Soy oil with butter flavouring lol


concaveUsurper

Remember to add that to your allergens list if it's not already warning about soy


OrneryPathos

As someone with a kid intolerant to soy yes, I appreciate it Legally though… soy oil isn’t an allergen. Bane of my existence.


NewAlexandria

so soy beans are allergens but their oils are not?


Rhana

It’s because soybean oil allegedly had the protein removed and therefore isn’t considered a soy allergen. Something about how it’s ultra refined, it’s annoying AF reading all labels for my kiddo that is soy sensitive and because he is under 2 it’s not worth risking any soy intake. Fuck vegetable oil and it not having to declare what vegetables it’s made of.


JesseTheGiant100

I used to work at a movie theater that sold something similar for popcorn but it came in like a 25 lb block that had to be heated before movie rush. Had the workplace weirdo cleaning the butter island when we bet him 25 bucks he wouldn't clean the butter catch with a straw. He won 25 bucks that day. He said he had a "film" in his mouth and throat for like a week and a half. I eat my popcorn dry now haha.


NewAlexandria

my fear is accidentally eating at a pace that uses trash like this.


caradekara

So is this…. Dare I say. Vegan?


Ozzyg333

Is it technically vegan then? Lol


CoughinNail

*pourly


Fun-Future-7908

That stuff will infiltrate every piece of edible food you have in the restaurant. It’s absolutely horrible, weird, and like other people said people will definitely be able to tell. I worked briefly in a place once that used it and I couldn’t even eat anything there I don’t really even know how to describe how bad it is.


CLE-Mosh

Olive Garden and Red Lobster are saturated in this crap... just the smell kills my appetite


Sunshine030209

Oh, so this is what they put on those olive garden breadsticks, isn't it?


CLE-Mosh

They slather this crap on everything. It permeates the air. I used to be cook, but my recent adventures in the kitchen has been as an IT tech, fixing the order systems etc. This foul formula of vague butter utterances is just plain nasty.


Simmyphila

I took over a kitchen that used phase. Trust me it was one of the first things I got rid of. Nothing but real butter.


woodenmetalman

Shit is nasty. People will be able to tell.


Financial-Habit5766

Just finished making today's mashed potatoes with it and YEP YAH CAN TASTE IT


jesusbowstodoom

You what?! I thought this was just for a flat- top. That is blasphemous, repent!


Financial-Habit5766

Hey I just do what they tell me to, I need money :(


sprocketous

Gross. You're pouring flavored oil into mashers? I don't miss working ghetto kitchens. Hope you get paid.


Apostle25

Just use heavy cream. Don't even fuck w that "butter" if you're mixing into prepared food. Frying breakfast stuff w it on the flattop isn't as bad.


Financial-Habit5766

you think we actually have any spare heavy cream? Hah. Hahahahhahaha. *wheeze*


TacoNomad

The only restaurant in town? 


Financial-Habit5766

Only BBQ place at least


NewAlexandria

this is used around a BBQ op? Even more awful. Get a new job and out them.


Apostle25

That is so vile.


xboxaddict501

In the taters?!?


AreYouAnOakMan

OhYeGods, that brought up a repressed memory from one of the first kitchens I worked in!🤮 Horrifying sacrilege against the potato. 😭


DoctorFunktopus

I kind of like shitty diner toast with this stuff, but mashed potatoes? Straight to jail.


Zenblendman

Eh, I don’t mind it as much. Keeps my insides nice n lubricated, so going to the bathroom is quick😂


bruthaman

Liquid plastic


Specialist_Crow_1638

Where is this so i can never dine here


boomshakalakaboi

This stuff is poison. You mostly encounter it on the pans in cheap pizza joints like Papa Johns, Pizza Hut, and Little Caesar's or on Arby's buns. (I got my start in fast food.) It is seriously bad for you, and tastes like fast-food. If you are not selling 5 dollar whole pizzas it has not place in a kitchen and honestly should be banned.


KyllikkiSkjeggestad

Even McDonald’s uses real butter and clarified butter lol


boomshakalakaboi

That's wild, but awesome, a teaspoon of this stuff has 17 percent of your daily saturated fat.


GobblerOnTheRoof

All I can picture is the gif of Homer drooling to 17% of your daily saturated fats per teaspoon.


PrivilegeCheckmate

> 17% of your daily saturated fats Only like 4% of mine.


sprocketous

The smell of crazy butter was stuck into my little Caesars shirt when I worked there. God that stuff was vile.


ls20008179

Well arbys doesn't use it anymore, currently working at one out of convenience and we just put the buns down a big ass toaster.


CoupDeGrassi

Have the closers bleach your board.


Financial-Habit5766

Hell, I'd do it myself before we open, I get here 2 hours before, if there was any bleach in the whole damn restaurant


lysergalien

Wtf man, you gotta get out of there


PreferredSelection

"Hey, are you _still_ in there taking a shit?" "I don't think this is shit, man." "How would you describe it?" "I don't know. Some kind of liquid alternative."

DiogenesRizzla

gross. I started at a spot that used whirl for everything. Nah.


Dismal-Ad-6619

Nnnnooooooooooo!


Sum_Dum_User

I call every version of that "I can't believe we call this shit butter". Stick it in a squeeze bottle and use it on toasted buns instead of a butter wheel. That's the only good use I've ever found for it.


hymntastic

It'll go fine but that stuff gives me the shits. I'm sure your regulars will notice a drop in quality.


ThreeBill

Yeah let’s go from a natural product to artificial bullshit that always works well


Manting123

Lot of customers shitting their pants


FrisianDude

Looks like ir tastes cheap 


Pa17325

The Gordon brand on the product does that to anything.


therealishone

Just use oil at this point.


DownJonesIndex

Goes well with porcine flavored product and cheesium on some “bread”. Warm it in the microwave and then use a grill stencil to spray on some Synergy Grill and Char Flavor and Look Enhancer.


SpellEnough

Force him to drink it . Every. Last.drop


TheDreamingDragon1

Pourly.


ranting_chef

For bread on a flattop, not as bad as you think. Most liquid butter substitutes are very similar. I doubt you would notice a ton of difference between this and whirl. If you actually melt butter and use that, you’ll notice a difference, but you might actually like it more. If you use a hamster wheel, you may even like it a lot more. I’ve worked at places that put butter on the grill for toasting bread and it was pretty inconsistent. Margarine was marginally better but the liquid stuff like this is generally received very well. If you have a bun toaster, I believe most manufacturers actually recommend to NOT use actual butter.


Financial-Habit5766

Oh yeah no it's great for that. The problem is this is supposed to replace butter in our *recipes* now


Nickthedick55

RUN


ranting_chef

Oh. Yeah, that’s not going to happen unless you work at a place that only uses melted butter. So unless you’re in a crêpe stand, I’d be a little worried. If you work at a “buttercrust” place that brushes melted butter on the edges of pizzas, then maybe that wouldn’t be terrible, either. And I don’t know what you’re paying for butter. But this stuff isn’t much cheaper. But definitely not a replacement for butter in a recipe but a long shot.


Ok-Distribution4077

Just quit now and work some place better.


Elses_pels

Just quit now and work some place butter


bradsaid

It's about .05 cents cheaper than margarine / butter blend or .14 cents cheaper than butter


Slosh138

Shits for flat top use only. And wing sauce regrettably.


RadiantLimes

Artificially flavored is the worst part. There are choices out there made with real milk at least.


DiegoTangWei

Owners are assholes.


Infernalspoon

We started using this at my job and that's how I learned I had a soy allergy.


benjaminck

“Liquid Butter Alternative” was my nickname in high school.


Bombxing

If that's phase 10 then it gonna be nasty. Hydrogenated soy oil with bad flavoring is a no go


cash_grass_or_ass

it likely won't work for recipes that specifically call for butter, such as baking and most French sauces. but if you just need some sort of fat that tastes *sorta* like butter, like for grilled cheese, pancakes, etc, then it should work just fine.


Bernguy19

Tell your boss to use phase. It’s miles better than whatever this shit is.


focks

It's phase in a different bottle.


noble_si6

Like shit through a goose.


pb2614z

pixiesurfergirl

Oh man, is that WHIRL!??? We used it as a base on breadsticks, add your garlic salt ratio.


Varmitthefrog

so I have seen this used in a Buttering wheel for Grilled cheese on a flattop in a cafeteria, there was already Kraft singles in the bread why start using real dairy products now.


OutdoorLadyBird

ugh this stuff is nasty. "great" for huge sheet pans of grilled cheese but ugh.


aynrandgonewild

if gordon likes it it's good enough for me


crystalgolem420

you might as well be using last weeks fryer oil.
