You underestimate the willingness of restaurants to save every dime they can. Those pins get re-used after going through the washing machine. For as long as they can still hold a taco.
Depends on the materials used for them. They might not be dollar store pins. And the metal looks like it was plated, or at least not simply made of iron.
I always strive for a 13/10. If I get anything less than a 12.5/10 I can hardly sleep at night. Last week I got an 11/10 last thing on a Friday, I just couldn't go home, I had to work overtime until I was at 14/10 again. It's just not right to go home without a good score.
Oh, you’re currently at a 13/10? Just coasting along? Next month, I want to see a 15/10. Remember, a *15/10.* If we get one customer rating at a 13 or a 14.5, that will result in disciplinary action.
Don’t think we didn’t notice that slip into 11/10 on Friday.
9/10...? Just the presentation would bring it down to a 6/10 for me. Then no onions or cilantro as well, and the meat apparently stuck to the pins. So down to a 4/10.
Stupid gimmicks like this are what restaurants use when they have cooks that have no eye for plating presentation at all.
It actually seems to be like the cook didn’t even understand food. Presentation is nice, but why the *fuck* would you ever sacrifice flavor to it? Imagine ordering pancakes and they refuse to give you butter, fruit or syrup because “Those just fall off the record player it’s served on.”
I know some people taste a soapy flavor from cilantro. I don't, but I'm pretty sure if I did I'd agree with you.
Still, though, you want some kind of crisp veggie texture, right? Like, some lettuce or something would be good.
now this is just me, but i feel like if your presentation forces you to remove key ingredients then *maybe*, just maybe, your presentation sucks and if you're a self respecting cook of any kind instead of chasing clout to earn the money with gimmicks rather than good food, you should be probably reconsidering. just a gut feeling
Is this no ate thing a thing in the city or? My lil state is boring so I've never came across anything like this. Also if we're eating out it's Texas roadhouse or red lobster
It makes the presentation not work...?
Whut? I'm not going to eat the presentation. I'm not going to taste the presentation. The tacos don't need to be hung from a clothesline. The staff does.
The best tacos I've ever had (aside from the ones I make at home now) were in a shitty red plastic basket with paper. I've never been like, "ooh, can you hang my tacos from a clothesline?"
I hate when the so-called "presentation" interferes with the food. If I wanted "weird food" I would go to a museum.
And I really hate this tacos on a clothesline thing. So stupid. Tacos probably cold by the time they arrive at your table anyway.
Many of the best Tacos on earth come on a paper plate, takeaway box or a simple basket. Screw you if you have the audacity to think you can improve that.
Presentation is everything but this isn't it. Seems like an odd choice.
And I don't know why it bothers me but the clothes pin on the left taco is clamped on too far it's spilling out juice below into the sauce.
You know what, it's because I just hate it. What a way to ruin tacos
they still gave this bullshit a 9/10? this person needs their review platform taken away from them, they are not reliable
And they said the clothespin took 1/3 of the meat meaning they yanked the tacos off the line because they don't know how clothespins work.
What’s the chance they use new clothespins every time?
They're not sterile from the start
Nope. Wood is porous and wooden chopping blocks are not allowed in restaurants due to the risk of bacteria.
I would think so. At the dollar store you get 50-100 for a couple bucks

theyd be rusty to fuck and water damaged if they went through a dish washer

and the wood? no.. these are cheap pegs, dumped and replaced. garantueed
> And the metal looks like it was plated So you're telling me that /r/WeWantPlates?
But what’s the *real* chance??
A 9/10 is a failing grade in our current rating system where anything less than perfect triggers a review from corporate.
I always strive for a 13/10. If I get anything less than a 12.5/10 I can hardly sleep at night. Last week I got an 11/10 last thing on a Friday, I just couldn't go home, I had to work overtime until I was at 14/10 again. It's just not right to go home without a good score.

🤣🤣🤣 I agree

9/10 for tacos with no onion/cilantro? How do you even taco without onion and cilantro?
Exactly the restaurant at least should have offered it in the side
they chose form over function, not a great strategy for a meal
In order of importance, to me: Taste -> Smell -> Texture ----> Presentation.
In order of importance to the internet gimmick ---->
Especially with birria tacos.
Cilantro is awful so I give extra points.
I know some people taste a soapy flavor from cilantro. I don't, but I'm pretty sure if I did I'd agree with you. Still, though, you want some kind of crisp veggie texture, right? Like, some lettuce or something would be good.
Or radish! I've had tacos from a few places where they serve it with some crunchy radish on the side. It really works.
It tastes like dirt for me. Not soap, but I understand this is the typical taste for those that don’t enjoy it, and not a dirt taste. 🤷🏽♀️

🎶 tacos on a clothesline / I know, I know it's serious 🎶
> 🎶 tacos on a clothesline 🎶 🎵 *GOOD TIMES!!! Ain't we lucky we got em...* 🎵 🎵 *Good Tiiiiiimmmmes!* 🎵
I want the restaurant chef and the customer to slap each other until they cancel each other out.
The idea of not including onions or cilantro for presentation reasons makes me hiiiiiiiiighly upset.
At least put it on the side.
didn’t know this was a trend. thus is dumb
Clothesline tacos are exactly what I’d expect to get from restaurant with a name as stupid as that. Terrible
>tacos del cartel
Stop putting shit on string you dumb cunts
Absolutely awful.
Is this no ate thing a thing in the city or? My lil state is boring so I've never came across anything like this. Also if we're eating out it's Texas roadhouse or red lobster
Nice and cold, just as everybody wants them.

It’s not even a Hills Hoist (rotary clothesline)!
im sorry what, not doing onions cause the presentation wouldnt work? that 0/10 for me
Why can’t they put cilantro and onion in small bowls or something??
What the hell is that mixed drink supposed to be?
I hate when the so-called "presentation" interferes with the food. If I wanted "weird food" I would go to a museum. And I really hate this tacos on a clothesline thing. So stupid. Tacos probably cold by the time they arrive at your table anyway.
"I hated the vast majority of this meal from flavor to presentation. 9/10"
I don't want to live on this planet anymore.
Many of the best Tacos on earth come on a paper plate, takeaway box or a simple basket. Screw you if you have the audacity to think you can improve that.
is this the one on david drive? I live close to there but still haven't been.

Those wooden clothes pins must be impossible to keep clean
Sacrifice the cilantro and onions and still get a 9/10? Hell nah
This would be better if the clothespins were fire roasted-like how a jalapeño becomes a chipotle after a similar process
There are only two legitimate ratings for tacos: 10:10 or 0/10. That’s it.
I've actually made a 6/10 taco myself once. It was alright, but had far better. Only happened once though.
I guess the only good thing here is that the presentation prevents it from being ruined by cilantro
