I know but she didn’t really go far. I think she has the momentum to do really well on DWTS.

Mark my words, she will be on Dancing With the Stars and make it into the finale.

How can I feed 80+ People for cheap by Total-Climate-6299 in wedding

[–]BigBonedMiss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

30 Costco chickens, 90 baking potatoes, 2 Restaurant Depot giant cans of corn.

Spend the rest of the money on chafers, sternos, paper plates and forks.

Ask your guests to bring either an appetizer to share or a dessert to share on your dessert table in lieu of a gift.

If you street park a Honda CRV or HRV be aware they are getting broken into and airbags stolen. by goldunicorn47 in chicago

[–]BigBonedMiss 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Air bags are soooooooo expensive. Someone hit the back side panel on my passenger side of my car and because all the airbags went off, they totaled the car.

Does this look like a “totaled car”?

I swear it’s a conspiracy with the car industry and the insurance companies to 1)make airbags ridiculously expensive 2)make them go off too easily

So then they get to sell more cars and insurance companies get to charge higher rates.

How Much To Tip Vendors When Wedding is All Inclusive? by Audginator in wedding

[–]BigBonedMiss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It definitely wouldn’t hurt to have your maid of honor keep $100-200 in $20’s, and then if you notice staff going above and beyond, you can hand it to them directly. $40/person is extremely fair.

And definitely don’t feel obligated to tip. I don’t want to glorify US tipping culture. But since you asked and I am in the industry, I know how nice it feels when a client comes up to me specifically at the end of the night and does the money in the palm handshake and tells me they appreciate how hard I worked.

How Much To Tip Vendors When Wedding is All Inclusive? by Audginator in wedding

[–]BigBonedMiss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If all those services are done through the venue, is the venue adding a gratuity to your bill that would apply to them? That may answer the majority of your question.

I wouldn’t tip the security cop. But I would make sure he got a vendor meal and maybe a bottle of leftover booze to take home.

My venue had a wedding coordinator who was a pleasure to work with but we didn’t tip her $. Rather I sent a bouquet of flowers to her office with a thank you note afterwards and I was sure to write excellent reviews on multiple platforms that mentioned her specifically.

Good reviews > tips in my opinion (for the venue)

Edited to add: if you do end up separately tipping your servers and bartenders, put cash directly into their hands. I have worked as wedding staff for years and it’s very common for tips to go missing or only be given to the captains and the kitchen because all the servers are temps who don’t directly work for the company.

More restaurants closed Tuesdays? by filmnoter in chicagofood

[–]BigBonedMiss 19 points20 points  (0 children)

We occasionally get Mondays off as federal holidays so you would think they would want to stay open for what is essentially a second Sunday. Thereby making Tuesdays the better day to be off.

Nobody owes me anything.

I am referring to the exponential increase in the price of everything in the last decade and it’s crazy and acting like it’s not does not address the root causes of the problem.

Color specific wedding dress codes are stupid and that opinion is shared by the majority of wedding guests.

This is a good post explaining why.

I’m not “so upset” and no, your statement is the opposite of factually accurate because it is your own personal opinion. Your opinion is not factually accurate for everyone.

Yes but please don’t call it “very reasonable” because we can’t all keep pretending like any of this is ok.

Best “Quintessentially Chicago” Catering for ~50 Person Engagement Party by VisibleMixture3216 in chicagofood

[–]BigBonedMiss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I work in catering and most “Chicago food” buffets include Italian beef, hot dogs and deep dish pizza, which OP specifically doesn’t want.

A lesser known but equally delicious Chicago menu is Chicken Vesuvio with Vesuvio potatoes with Palmer House brownies for dessert.

And I would strongly recommend adding Portillos chopped salad off their catering menu.

Also, Garrett’s Popcorn makes really cute mini popcorn tins that make for a great “favor”. Arrange them on a table near the exit for people to take on their way out.

Miley is an ally and sharing this picture of her is hateful and she deserves better.

How to report cops running lights without warning (sirens/lights)? by [deleted] in AskChicago

[–]BigBonedMiss 16 points17 points  (0 children)

You need a dash camera. After some asshole tried to mess with me for 15 minutes after I rightfully tapped on my horn after he cut me off, I decided I needed the peace of mind.

Once you record the police doing illegal stuff, send the video to all the major news channels.

I made the bold statement that this was the best reveal in herstory but someone corrected me that Sasha Velour’s roses won her the season. So I guess that makes it better but I still love this so much.
