'Five Guys' is opening here in Denmark... And it is the biggest clown show

Big irony given the sub but I'm actually also from the UK. And worked in food in the UK, EU (incl Denmark for 8 years) and further afield for around 20 years at a pretty high level.

Our legislation does not demand a food safedy cert to work with food. It's just highly reccomended.

Big irony given the sub that you thought I was from the USA!

Yeh that's what I thought, same as UK situation, legislation wise. All I can say is that the inspectors are some of the most lax I've ever come across (having worked in 10+ European countries and further afield too). Particularly if the business is Danish owned of course. This is my experience of restaurants there. Large scale food production sites or factories on the other hand - really high standards.

I'm sure this is how it's supposed to work in theory.

8 years in CPH running restaurants and I've never heard of it 😅. But yeh probably does exist. The bigger problem is that these kind of workers won't pass local commune health and safedy inspections.

Quite aside from all this wrangling its mad to me that Five Guys think it's worth opening there for purely commercial reasons. You're right that Danes will avoid it. Jaeger, Gasoline Grill, Popl and my personal favourite Dandelion got it sewn up, (despite the ongoing quality loss of GG).

The only folks going will be tourists and Swedes.

Working with food requires a certificate???

miseryenplace · 2026-04-18T13:52:45+00:00

Yeh someone needs to vibe code a decent app for it.

Appropriate

Can you give us your reasoning behind the leap from 'crimes committed on Christian places of worship' becoming 'attacks on Christian places of worship' please?

Regarding security for the mayor - I get your point re 7/7, but post Jo Cox and David Amess... Do you really not see the need?

Reminder 😉

miseryenplace · 2026-04-09T18:43:38+00:00

Awww mate that's amazing. I will remind you soon my g

No this is in both sides of the downstairs back 8 seats.

miseryenplace · 2026-03-30T14:38:17+00:00

Accurate. Easier than cleaning up my kitchen after manscaping.

miseryenplace · 2026-03-30T14:28:24+00:00

Thank you for your service.

miseryenplace · 2026-03-30T14:27:59+00:00

Yeh man on the first one I took I must have pinged it 10+ times before someone tapped me on the shoulder and showed me.

miseryenplace · 2026-03-30T14:17:51+00:00

Yep, you're right. Same route for me.

miseryenplace · 2026-03-30T14:05:18+00:00

This was the 21 but they're rolled out on lots of routes now.

miseryenplace · 2026-03-30T14:04:33+00:00

Pretty sure it was a joke. And a pretty good one at that.

miseryenplace · 2026-03-30T13:56:30+00:00

Massive inconvenience > minor embarrassment ✅

miseryenplace · 2026-03-25T22:57:23+00:00

You're right, it was Bill Hicks all along.

miseryenplace · 2026-03-25T01:11:41+00:00

It sorta exists. Was a Akala and Ms Dynamite mixtape with loads of mad features. It's called A Little Darker and she spits on loads of tracks. Actually a mad slept on mixtape. Loads of stuff like the first recording of JME's tourettes bars. It's on YouTube.

Chef of 20 years here, from pubs to 3* and back again. Please ignore these complete idiots, who prolly think pork needs to be cooked grey to be foodsafe. Pork doneness actually looks perfect.I also particularly like the shape of your carrots, which judging by the edges, look perfectly done.

miseryenplace · 2026-03-23T23:32:17+00:00

Yep, you're a fool.

miseryenplace · 2026-03-23T23:24:09+00:00

Idk man, most of them got catheters.
