This one is almost inevitably fake as well... had a guest the other night claim she would "vomit for days" if she ate any garlic, but when we told her that the deviled egg filling had housemade aioli with garlic in it she decided that was fine, because she was drinking whiskey and that would counteract the garlic.

Garlic allergy exists. But its a skin contact allergy, and ingesting it has no affect on those with the skin allergy. Inhaling garlic powder or oil could cause a pretty bad reaction though.

I read a thread where the OP's husband claimed an allergy to all fresh fruits and vegetables to justify only eating out and not cooking at home

Chef De Cuisinart posted:I am legitimately allergic to fresh pineapple. Makes my tongue and throat swell. I think that's just the double-whammy of acid and enzymes that effects anyone who eats too much fresh cut pineapple. Bromelain, extracted from pineapple stems primarily but also found in the flesh, is sold as meat tenderizer. Mezzanon posted:What does the canning do? Destroys the enzymes.

Just increase the food prices the right amount and pay everyone a living wage. Of course now that I no longer own a restaurant and make good money in IT again I have no skin in the game.

Guys, help me out here. I found two industry bars in my town. One has $5 pints of craft beer everyday. The has triples for $10 Tuesday Wednesday Thursday. Where shall I go? (Also because of a lovely rear end sketch roomir, I may be back in the fold. He informed me Saturday he didn't have rent. Moved out Sunday.... so now I'm hosed st end of month. Figure he was a dishwasher/prep cook)

What are the best non-slip shoes? I have FILAs but if I'm going to be doing this poo poo 6 days a week I want the best so my toes don't fall off or something. Also, we cleared $3,000 before 7pm on $0.89 taco day.

Oh no she very clearly had a garlic allergy. She hit all the hallmarks of someone who was afraid of it. I was scared for her. I wanted to get down to eye level and whisper "run, you fool".

We had a catering thing today at the hospital for an unknown number. So there was a tray of danishes, fresh cut fruit, etc. Turns out only two people showed up for it. So...90% of it went to waste. I snagged a few pieces of the pineapple. But man, it sucks all that work went for nothing really.

Luckily my employer is real nice about letting us take leftovers and whatever we don't want we usually end up feeding to bar customers at our three locations one way or another. Just last week I took home over 2lbs of smoked beef and a half hotel pan of blackberry cobbler.

Silver Nitrate posted:What are the best non-slip shoes? I have FILAs but if I'm going to be doing this poo poo 6 days a week I want the best so my toes don't fall off or something. I like both berkinstocks and crocs. Crocs plus insoles are great for that feeling like wearing slippers. Crocs are good if you walk a whole lot. Crocs are bad because Foot Sweat is an element unto itself which you will realize when The Rashes start. Your feet will develop a tolerance, in due time. They have a very short shelf life though, I walked my last late pair into paper thinnness after four months. I bought another after a while because the price was right considering the life they gave me, but buyer beware. Berkies and their concordant insoles are like a trustfall for your feet that just keeps going. Berkies (especially with the cork insole) are great for standing a whole lot. However! The Berkie Callous (on the top of your foot) is a real thing that will hurt like a motherfucker until it conditions itself after the second week or so. Breaking in a pair of berkies is a mutual proposition. Between the two, birkenstocks have the better tread to them. I like the alpros! The tops of my feet do not like the alpros, but gently caress 'em!

I stick to a pair of red wings. I have the ankle high motorcycle boots in non slip soles and I love them. At the end of a 9 hour day you're gonna love taking them off, but while you're working your feet will love you. Plus I feel badass walking on hollow hard wood floors.

I went through 2 pairs of Red Wings in a year, split the bottom of the shoe just from walking around. Now I just buy a new pair of Crocs every year. 30bux, and they're vented on the side.

I'm not sure if this counts as "allergy", but we had a woman two days ago that came in and immediately started thrashing the servers. Could not use a plastic glass for her drink, could not eat gluten (would not say celiac), and was going to order our ribs — but decided not to after finding out that there is garlic in the seasoning mix we have on our product. Also demanded no butter. Opted for a plain lead salad with tomatoes and cucumbers with just olive oil.

God, this week has been insane. Monday was a mad house. I work 1030-4 but I can usually come in late because it's rare to get a rush before noon. I text the other server at 10 and instead of the usual "11 would be fine" I get "need you ASAP." A busy Monday is 1200 in sales for me, at 1600 I'm probably getting my rear end kicked. I ended up selling 2100.

With the Crocs I would worry about fryer oil/boiling nacho cheese somehow getting in. I'll try some Red Wings out, everyone I know in construction swears by them. I didn't realize they did non-slip. Thanks!

I have an iodine sensitivity (tested for and proved by mayo clinic on the guvment dime!) So I flush on my neck and face when I eat shellfish. GUESS WHAT MY FAVORITE THINGS ARE. I've scared the poo poo out of some servers with it too. But it's only a skin reaction, and I will be damned if I stop eating all these delicious sea creatures. But your concern is appreciated! If I do die of an allergic reaction from seafood, know I die happy.
