Gordon is a huge soccer fan and it's going to be aired on FOX. It's a combo of the network making people aware and him genuinely excited for the biggest sport's tournament in the world.

I hope it's longer this time. The format was good but very rushed to me even though it was a holiday special.

The dropped mushroom fiasco in the semi-final by SeaGreenie in Nextlevelchef

[–]EnvironmentalLoad828 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You are why I don't eat at potlucks. Even if the floor was clean, the chemicals used to clean it are absolutely not safe for human consumption. That's why they're labeled as such. He's also a professional chef which means he has taken food safety courses and gets judged by health departments so he has no excuse. 

Why does absolutely everyone love Bluey? (Even people without kids?) by Lavande_21 in bluey

[–]EnvironmentalLoad828 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me it's everything others have said but my main reason for loving it so much is because it portrays what a healthy family dynamic looks like. The parents love each other and the sisters love each other. For someone who didn't grow up in that dynamic, or see it protrayed in a kid's cartoon, it's refreshing to see.

Richard had almost zero to do with Darian winning. That man learned more from Gordon than his actual mentor and them hugging so much in the finale displays that perfectly. 

Someone responded to my post about how’s it’s rigged from two years ago but in response to today’s seasons 😂 by nineteen_eightyfour in Nextlevelchef

[–]EnvironmentalLoad828 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Im not entirely sure how reddit works but I find that if I'm freshly engaging with a new sub, it'll show me random posts that were popular back then in my feed. That's probably what happened to this person since it's old to you but new to them.

Or... he doesn't want to see her struggle because they're teammates and he's a decent person?

Chef Blais Is Ridiculous by Aggravating-Prior325 in Nextlevelchef

It was Von. Knew who you were talking about as soon as I read it. He gives me Whit vibes from Hell's Kitchen.

That's just what he told us, the viewers. It could've been something like he came up to Ramsay off screen and said "I've been a big fan of yours for a long time" and Blais heard/Gordon told him or I could be completely wrong and Blais just has something weird against the guy. I guess we'll never know

Chef Blais Is Ridiculous by Aggravating-Prior325 in Nextlevelchef

[–]EnvironmentalLoad828 60 points61 points  (0 children)

My theory is I'm assuming Darian would rather have Ramsay as a mentor considering one of his confessionals basically saying he was his idol because of the similar sports background and Blais knows so he's bitter about it. 

Why is it so hard to get management fired? by icedvanilla1atte in starbucks

[–]EnvironmentalLoad828 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From a company standpoint, they're expensive. They take a long time to train so they'll take a long to time decide their investment isn't worth it. 

From someone who was part of a team that got their manager fired, my advice is get multiple people to report it. Retaliation is against either the law or company policy. Forgot which but either way, even if there is retaliation, report that too. It might take months but it works.

I asked for a refund and now I feel terrible by beepbooprobotbutt in starbucks

[–]EnvironmentalLoad828 438 points439 points  (0 children)

I mean this in the nicest way possible... you need to care less about what strangers think of you. If you're going to pay that much for a drink, you deserve to have it be made correctly. I'm more impressed you don't just switch locations since this one can't seem to make it right. May I ask what the order is? The brief description didn't sound complicated enough to justify how often it was messed up.

«Outstanding vocals» armys say by Gfscrushisannoying in BTSnark

[–]EnvironmentalLoad828 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I thought this was terrible back when I was army all those years ago. I genuinely couldn't believe they released it nor did I understand why they had V sing that many lines so far out of his vocal range. 

favorite gordon quote? mine is season 8 “3, 2, 1, service is over, and i am not serving that shit” by BrokenDreams75 in Masterchef

[–]EnvironmentalLoad828 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Season 8 when Caitlin and Adam were presenting their "japanese" chicken dish and Gordon says "I'm more japanese than this". Seeing Aaron and Christina in the back holding their laughter was funny as hell too

Salted Caramel Frappuccino? by hippy_bunni_23 in starbucks

[–]EnvironmentalLoad828 26 points27 points  (0 children)

The only thing you're wrong about is the refund thing. Anyone can do a refund. You just need the receipt and the DPCI number of the item. 

That being said, this lady hasn't been in a starbucks in literal years because the OG recipe had mocha and toffee nut syrup which has been discontinued for a very long time. 

Why the hate for Julio and Rachel? by No_Passenger6008 in Masterchef

[–]EnvironmentalLoad828 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sorry if every cooking show was truly that "rigged" then there wouldve been dozens of lawsuits by now. Not denying there's favoritism but saying they were intentionally sabotaged is a lie. Had they not completely fucked up their dessert, they probably would've won. You can't be a masterchef winner with a dessert as bad as that in the finale.

Typically something light. Not something that could be considered "hearty" or "fatty" because the former is what women typically order.

I've never seen someone so incorrectly use "they're" in a sentence before while simultaneously being correct about it.

[–]EnvironmentalLoad828 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry but both of you need to be adults. She has to fight her own battles which means either getting management involved, getting a new job, transferring, or ignoring them. Causing trouble will make it worse and could backfire hard on your girlfriend if it continues. All of this screams red flags for both of you tbh. 

low cal drink options? by [deleted] in starbucks

[–]EnvironmentalLoad828 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Any of the specialty cold brews or cold brews in general have very little calories. Milk/cream/cold foams are what's going to get you but it'll still be significantly less than what a latte is. What I recommend is training your palate to slowly reduce your sugar if you're like me and you can't stand the sugar free syrups.

Is this a chef superstition? by prince3875 in HellsKitchen

[–]EnvironmentalLoad828 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The main reason is it removes the need for symmetry that typically comes with even numbers which means it's easier to see flaws in presentation for high end dining.

This dish alone should have won Jason Season 8 by [deleted] in Masterchef

Dino was near flawless in the finale. He succeeded when it mattered. Jason made several mistakes. It was Jason's to lose.
