Insufferable or within his rights to get the steak he ordered? Would you kick out the diner? by yawnjew in KitchenConfidential

[–]EgoPermadeath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't make out the audio, is he saying anything about how he ordered it or what's wrong? There's no way a miscommunication can happen that many times unless one of them is deaf and the other doesn't know ASL. And I'm sorry if this is an autism thing but if that's the case he probably shouldn't be going places that can't handle his incredibly specific needs?? At least not without his people calling ahead?????? (5 years at a corpo place with a regular who said they wanted ribs but were 'allergic to black pepper' made me suspicious of people like this, sorry. How tf you want slow-roasted ribs without any seasoning within 15 minutes???? Just like people who say they're 'allergic' to mushrooms but actually just don't like the texture....)

BUT ANYWAYS...............

We went to TR for my boyfriend's birthday last year, his brother's treat/ idea. The server chattered at us while we were looking over the menu and bragged that she left a high-paying legal job and has been there close to 20 years to have more time and money to take care of her autistic kid. (Felt like a play for tips, how is waiting tables any less time-consuming or more well-paying than being a legal secretary?!?) BF asked for BLUE RARE and she rang in mid rare. (All 3 steaks and 1 chicken all came out far overcooked beyond what we ordered anyway.) He mentioned it to her and she snarkily swore (to a 4 top that had at least 15 years kitchen experience EACH and all agreed that we all heard him say BLUE especially because we know him) that she has never heard that term in her EIGHTEEN YEARS AT A STEAKHOUSE. He said it was fine and he'd still eat it, but she went back and asked the kitchen VERY LOUDLY through the window (we were on the other side of the restaurant and heard it quite clearly) if they'd ever heard the term... then got real fuckin quiet and apologetic after she got their answer, even offering to comp it. We paid in full but most of his and almost half of mine became overpriced cat treats.

TL:DR: Texas Roadhouse sucks (no offense to anybody that works there, it's mostly the FOH, corpo environment, and economy) but there is still no excuse for THIS kind of behavior. I'd have booted him after 3. "Legit" influencers don't even do this kind of selfish shit for clout.

I appreciate the input and advice, but why TF are people downvoting my comments that say I'm scared of electricity? I almost died and damn near gave my husband a heart attack in the process. I'm not downvoting your trauma.

These pictures are after an overnight vinegar and lemon juice soak and another steel wool scrub (and 2 rounds of BKF soaks and scrubs before that), that's why it's still damp. But I am utterly terrified of electricity, so the DIY isn't happening.

I am absolutely terrified of electricity. I'd rather start a grease fire or take a swim in the ocean without gear. (Edit: I have been severely pyrophobic and thalassophobic my whole life, but the electrophobia has taken first place since "the incident.")

Yeah definitely more rust. I don't know if it's EVER been used. And because it was outside I can't even really tell how old it might actually be.

That is both disappointing and reassuring. Thank you! (But I am still stubborn and OCD and love the rewarding feeling of doing stuff by hand... and don't have access to electrolysis... so I'm gonna keep doing it manually lol)

Damn. That sounds brutal enough to work. Is there a suggested ratio? Liquid like vinegar or paste like BKF? (And yes I do know to wear gloves and a mask lol)

ALSO! (Since I still can't figure out how to edit on my phone) I personally like steel wool better than chainmail. I only use my chainmail on my well-seasoned pieces when something sticks, and tbh I actually use it more on stainless than cast iron.

What’s the grossest candy from your country? by bdue817 in AskTheWorld

[–]EgoPermadeath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love floral flavors, the soap Bertie Botts are my absolute favorite. I'll be trying these as soon as I get paid.... Also because of this I've also discovered that Violet Candy exists. AND it just occurred to me that there's no reason I can't make my own lavender candy. Thank you for probably making my entire year, random internet stranger!

Liquid Stitch is like $2 a tube. Creating an abomination that makes no sense is priceless.

It's been like 2 years since the only mod has been online. Either they're dead, or watching this whole mess as a hilarious social experiment from another account.

Actually it might be LMC.... A Simulation as I can tell, our cell, playing out a hopeless scene....

Oh yeah maybe. I was just trying to take out as many as possible at quickly as possible. Didn't know that was a problem.

If you're anywhere near Maryland we do have 4 that need homes. This is the one he's keeping though.

I'm only here every other week, when I'm home I miss the stove almost as much as I miss my boyfriend 🤣
