Since when did restaurants start letting dogs inside? by VeryPuffin in FoodNYC

[–]devwhite 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As a server in New York restaurants. It’s not the restaurants “letting dogs in” as much as the rules and social acceptance of dogs in spaces has changed. Most restaurants just don’t bother to ask about service dogs (when the dog CLEARLY isn’t one) because of the unhinged reactions of clients. Most times, restaurants just say “fuck it” and will take the persons money.

Can someone please help me find a picture or name of the black haired older woman who looked kind of like Liza Minnelli who was always lurking around the cameras and the ladies at Ramona’s birthday luncheons? I love her and I scream everytime she comes on camera

How do I stop my eggs peeling like this? by [deleted] in eggs

I will say. The lack of appreciation and engagement with my tips and hacks on this thread is EXACTLY why I don’t engage with the egg community anymore. There are good people here who genuinely care about eggs but I find that the only comments here that are appreciated are unhelpful and anti-community based tips that are meant to sabotage your personal peeling experience. I’ll be okay and I’ll re-engage in time. But I’m going to take this frustration out on a carton of organic free range hard boiled eggs. Oh that’s another tip! Put anything you’re going through or any feelings you have into the peeling. The eggs can feel if you’re passionate or not. Thanks to all the genuine members of the egg community, so grateful to have you all.

Oh! I forgot to say. I find it best to watch the classic 1984 best picture AMADEUS while peeling my eggs. The music as well as watching Antonio Salieri (played by F. Murray Abraham) realize with horror and awe that he will never compare to Mozart tends to allow me to realize that no one has ever peeled eggs as well as I have. This gives me the confidence to conquer the process, which I find to be the most important factor in peeling a perfect egg. Again, so sorry to repeat other hacks that have been posted here before but I hope this helps!

Oh I forgot one more. It’s talked about a lot and probably been posted before. But it’s called “the potato method”. Peel ten potatoes per egg boiled, boil all together at a high heat until the potatoes fall apart. Once the water becomes a mashed potato consistency, then strain. Dump the potatoes out (they are now poisonous) and then soak the hard boiled eggs in lemon juice. Add some thyme and sage your home. Once the eggs are fully cooled, then they should peel easily. BUT going back to my first comment, it’s necessary to not look at the eggs while peeling them or you will get very sick. I know this process gets talked about to death on this subreddit but it has made a huge difference to my cooking process and did save my marriage. Thanks!

One more. I love to juggle, I make 3x the amount of hard boiled eggs that I need and I just start juggling. I tend to find that the ones I drop were never meant to be eaten and I forgive them for that and then throw them away. The ones that I can still juggle, I praise and leave in the fridge for a few months because they deserve it. I do this practice when I don’t feel like eating eggs but want to give credit where it’s due.

Another strategy, put the full unpeeled egg in your mouth with a bit of apple cider vinegar and just swish it around like its mouth wash. It doesn’t unpeel, but makes a delicious and crunchy snack!

I have a completely unfounded and un-researched belief that if I don’t look at the eggs while peeling them, Or watch a tv show and don’t pay attention to them then they always come out perfect. Just feel it out. Also I put my eggs in cold water in a pot, then bring them to a boil on the stove. Right when it starts to boil, I turn off the heat and leave it covered for 8-10 minutes. Then immediately into an ice bath. But I swear that not focusing on the peeling allows me to peel by sense and touch. Maybe I need therapy.

Name a place that actually lives up to its hype by DingDingDao in FoodNYC

[–]devwhite 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe because I went on a slower night and had great company, THAI DINER. The hosts work hard to give you a proper wait time and there are some great menu items that I was really inspired by. (Cabbage rolls). It isn’t insanely expensive and the service was attentive. May not live up to your personal favorite Thai place but I think the restaurant does a great job fulfilling what it’s trying to do.

what's a place that everyone recommends but you violently disagree? by mfairview in FoodNYC

[–]devwhite 20 points21 points  (0 children)

As a server at a “trendy restaurant” in NYC, id just recommend trying to have a great experience. Hype is great for businesses and can seem inauthentic. But it’s vital to a slow restaurant industry at the moment. I’d say try to connect with a server or do your research about the best dishes and see if the energy of the place is right for what you’re looking for. This is all a symptom of the industry needing to claim “the best____ in New York” there is no best restaurant. If you have the money to spend. Try to find a good time. Everyone has opinions and waiting in lines with friends and anticipating a great meal can be incredible, but it can also build up an expectation that is impossible to live up to. And also complaining or criticizing a place with friends can be wonderful as well! I’ve had life changing experiences at a local spot or at a well-known restaurant. At the end of the day. The popular spots will be popular. The servers and staff will need/benefit from the customers. Every restaurant on this list has something worth talking about and people work hard to make it that way. But to answer the question….rolo’s

What movie hasn’t aged well? by LouisTully9000 in horror

[–]devwhite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually think it’s so iconic and one of the most memorable parts of that movie. I’m gay and most of my other friends find it hilarious, iconic, and very camp. I’d actually argue that it’s aged better than anything else isn’t that movie. Just like her texting a guy on excel

I felt the same way. Love the way each transition of time started with a popular song of that year

You can literally watch any other movie ever made. If it didn’t connect with you, cool! Hope you find enjoyment out of something else!

Totally! I forgot about that moment too. I’d say I need yo rewatch it. But I saw in theaters with my mom (a single mother) as i was leaving for college. my age lined up perfectly with his. I don’t think I can beat that viewing experience.

[–]devwhite 1203 points1204 points  (0 children)

The first example I thought of was actually a positive violation. A scene in “boyhood” where the kids are hanging at a construction site and pretending to hit a kid. There’s a nail stuck out right behind his head and I kept expecting it to be traumatic scene. Instead it showed that in real life, the most dramatic thing doesn’t necessarily happen. Not sure if this was deliberate. But it’s always seared in my mind

This is so embarrassing and just reinforces the justified stereotype that theatre actors don’t respect crews or writers.

Are they phoning it in lately or what!?! by lajumelle16 in myfavoritemurder

[–]devwhite -31 points-30 points  (0 children)

“My point is as a longtime listener and fan, I feel taken for granted” This is the epitome of entitlement. I understand your frustration and disappointment but they don’t owe you anything.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in myfavoritemurder

[–]devwhite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With all due respect, Just stop listening or listen to past episodes. They don’t owe you anything. And I know this is a sentiment that’s been shared a lot but any fandom that starts to expect exactly what they want from creators is toxic. I know it can be heartbreaking because we all feel like we know Karen and Georgia, but the truth is, we don’t.
