Bolas 5 #5 March 21, 2008 Asked by a homeless person for money, offer to buy them food. Ask what they want, and get it for them from a nearby restaurant. If when you get back they are gone you can eat it yourself, take it home, or give it to someone else.

ryoder 1,384 #9 March 21, 2008 Quote And always be careful 'how' you complain / comment to the chef...don't wanna get any 'special' added ingredients if ya send something back to the kitchen! I worked in the kitchen of an upscale restaurant when I was in high school. One day a drunk customer who could not grasp the meanings of rare/medium/well-done berated the waitress and sent a steak back to the kitchen three times. She was in tears. For dessert the drunk ordered a melon-ball salad. What he didn't know was that the cook who prepared the melon-ball salad, was also the waitresses boyfriend. I watched the salad being prepared.

jkm2500 0 #13 March 21, 2008 Not to disagree with you too loudly, but I think that when a person goes to a premium restaurant they should get premium service. If the person who is taking the order can't write it down correctly to give to chef, then they should find a new vocation. I had a terrible experience with the wait staff at Applebee's today. I will not go back to that particular restaurant again. The waitress was horrible and the food came out horrible. All the wait staff's fault. Then, when the waitress that was covering our table was too busy, another waitress delivered the food. She was not any better. Anyhow, to add some humor http://www.illwillpress.com/rest.htmlThe primary purpose of the Armed Forces is to prepare for and to prevail in combat should the need arise.

shermanator 3 #17 March 21, 2008 my family goes to a japanese tempen grill place every now and then *like bennyhanas* The chef asked my mom how she would like her steak, and she told him medium well* .. I can't remember the exact words, but he didn't like that, and said something along the lines of too bad/it doesn't matter. I'm the chef and I'll cook it how I like" ... She loved the steak.CLICK HERE! new blog posted 9/21/08 CSA #720 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
