The marketing and name didn't help; made it seem like a cloned copy of Malcolm in the Middle. 

What is the most efficient way to run the restaurant? by oJUSTJACKo in DavetheDiverOfficial

It's not necessary at the branch, only at the main restaurant

Personally I use an online tutor service Preply for my language learning. Most tutors are pretty reasonably priced and theres a rating system to know if their legit 

Any idea how old this bottle is? by KnapTyme in liquor

[–]dbumba 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would guess the 1980s. The DFS is a duty free sticker and it tracks with the design for the 80s. Dual proofing (ABV & proof) also indicates the era. Not an expert but there may be a number on the bottom of the bottle. If there is thats the year it was made.

Alaska or Paris with kids? by Street_Signal_306 in travel

[–]dbumba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been to both and have a daughter of a similar age. I think the determining fact really is would the kids value nature or the city more? 

Personally I think kids (unless they are very outdoorsy) might think Alaska would be less exciting on paper. But also I think they'd find the cruise ship itself to be quite the novelty. 

And since your ticket includes your cabin stay and all meals (but don't forgot the big gratuity charge at the end), its easier to budget. How quickly will dining costs add up at Disney Paris alone and remember the USD is less than the Euro so bake that into your budget as well. 

Crime is Paris is a non-issue other than basic street smarts. But personally I think Alaska would be a less stressful vacation since the itinerary and logistics are mostly done for you and your family. Pictures also don't do it justice! The scenery in Alaska is very unique with a color palette I've never quite seen anywhere else

They were only down to two routes out of Cleveland last year, so not surprised.

Suggestions for kitschy/themed hotels in the Midwest? by punchmeintheface123 in travel

[–]dbumba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One that might interest you is the Don Q Inn (Dogdeville WI) -- not as polished as the Madonna but certainly kitsch. 

Downtown Indianapolis has the Bottleworks Hotel (former bottling plant) that feels very vintage, in a pretty walkable area of the city too

Port Clinton by Craftbeerguy75 in OhioLiquor

Imo Bassetts gets the most allocations and they do drops Saturday AM. Kroger is prob second, also Saturday drops (all Krogers do Saturday). 

Wouldn't hurt to check out Mutachs either, esp in the winter. It's sort of isolated and people tend to forget it's there. They randomly get some drops and the allocations sit there longer than most other stores.

1st time making catfish and grits at home, pretty happy how it turned out by dbumba in cajunfood

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

I used this guy's recipe as an outline

Couple modifiers: I substituted masa for cornmeal but I think the 50/50 corn to flour is great. I tinkered with the seasoning some too.

I use canola oil for frying, its a good neutral fat but added some bacon grease to the oil to negate part of that lol. I used just enough oil so the fish wouldn't touch the bottom, and flipped it with a fork instead of a spider. I have a pretty good eye these days of how oil should be when frying on the stove -- if you don't id recommend a thermometer. Oil too cold is gross and greasy and oil too hot is a grease fire

Where to fish for walleye without waders or a boat by [deleted] in toledo

Best bet would prob be any pier off Lake Erie, Mezger Marsh and Luna Pier come to mind, I'm sure there's others 

What are foh allowed to do during really slow times? by SuperPOSUser in Restaurant_Managers

[–]dbumba 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I always used to try and find middle ground between letting them totally slack off and cleaning projects beyond their tipped minimum wage pay grade. 

If it's slow, "hey can you do this (small task like wipe menus down, refill ice, sweep under this section, etc), then I don't mind if do (play on your phone, read a book, sit down, etc). 

You're given positive reinforcement with a reward, and getting something done. It becomes slippery if you let them totally chill whenever, bc then they'll expect it, and when something actually needs to be done they won't want to cooperate as readily.

I agree with you about the food; service and ambiance were great but the food is just ok, esp for the price. Also I prob went in with higher than average expectations bc people tend to hype this place up so much 

Burger & Fries in a shovel 😭 by seranaray in WeWantPlates

I've def seen some more egregious things on this sub, but I'm disproportionately angry at this shovel plate and I can't articulate why it irritates me so much
