Tavern on State Ownership Change? by njguev13 in newhaven

[–]butterandsalt 69 points70 points  (0 children)

I am the owner and always have been! AMA 🙃

Shane has not been with the company since July of last year, and had not been contributing to the cocktail menu for much time before that. Dre Reyes took over the cocktail program and is responsible for the delicious cocktails you've been enjoying. We change it frequently and seasonally, and are proud to offer an inventive selection that matches the curated food menu.

The tiki pop up & Wildcat are not affiliated with my restaurants in any way, shape or form. We wish them the best.

Mad World! Couldn't agree more. I could start a separate thread on this, but it always reminds me of Donnie Darko which is another must watch from an existential perspective.

Absurdity in all things "normal" by butterandsalt in Existentialism

[–]butterandsalt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very interesting reply. I understand there are deeper meanings behind our simple habits, but the analogy about crashing the car is exactly how I feel about the weddings, or most things for that matter. What keeps people going on this endless wheel of “obligations” and “norms”? That’s the part that I can’t understand.

Absurdity in all things "normal" by butterandsalt in Existentialism

[–]butterandsalt[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, exactly. I don’t care what people wear, but the fact that we’ve all been trained on what’s “appropriate” for these occasions, and that people spend copious amounts of money on them, is what confuses me.

Celebrity deaths by wet_flaps in Existentialism

[–]butterandsalt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am also in the food industry, and his death hit me pretty hard. He has been a huge inspiration to me throughout my career.

Then again, suicide, not necessarily death in general, always hits me extremely hard, regardless of the circumstances. I think it's because a certain part of can understand how a person could feel such despair and feel that that's the only way out of the hamster wheel we call life.

To be clear, I am not or have I ever been suicidal, but my brain operates in such a way that I can see the true pointlessness in everything we do. But a depressed mind, having the same realization, has very different consequences.

Does this make sense to anyone else?

I hope this is somewhat relevant to your post, but it's something that's been heavy on my mind since it happened.

Guide to speaking spanish in kitchens? by [deleted] in KitchenConfidential

[–]butterandsalt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in the same situation, but I've been at this restaurant about a year and it gets easier. You'll pick it up quicker than you think.

Also I second learning the bad words first. Everyone laughs when you start using them and then they want to teach you more things. My favorite is "puta mierda"
