I guess you're right. Without the bored high school and college kids spitting and jacking off on the frozen food, it won't have the same taste.

Piss off the waitstaff and you can have that same experience anywhere i guess

i've worked in a few restaurants, both as waitstaff and as a line cook, among other jobs. semen and spit are the least of your worries and if gross things in food bothers you, dont go out to eat, anywhere

idk I've worked in a few restaurants in the kitchen and the food never got tampered with. there just isn't even time - what I'm gonna go whack off in the middle of dinner service just because some front of house bitch is mad at a customer? pff


maybe another reason to not eat at lovely restaurants where the cooks don't give a gently caress about what they're putting out :shrug:

Which is why I mostly stay home and cook or when I do eat out I go to places with open kitchens, where I can see exactly what's happening to the food.

yeah or just go to nicer restaurants

goddamn you people are paranoid. like you'd even be able to tell if someone messed with your food in an open kitchen. presumably if they were gonna serve you jizz they would have done it already when they were prepping and you wouldn't be able to tell when they use the jizz sauce on the line.

95% of open kitchens there's no way you can see the actual line or the actual prep work from where you are sitting anyway so it's kind of a moot point is it not?

It makes it harder to get away with having a dirty kitchen. Also makes it harder to do anything really disgusting to the food because someone might see. They can still do stuff, but it's harder than chain restaurants where you can't see the kitchen.

I've worked in open kitchens and it really doesn't. The kitchen was clean as hell but hypothetically if the inside reach ins and 9 pans and whatever where all the mise en place is are dirty there's no way you'd be able to tell from the dining area. Ditto for the inside of the ovens, the fryers, the fryer oil, all that poo poo.

None of the prep was done on the line and it's always done before you get there regardless so if they were going to do anything really disgusting to the food it would have been done at that point because ain't nobody got time to go JO in the middle of dinner service.

I doubt that but as you like.

If the reason is you're afraid of your food getting hosed with though it's just really uncommon. fwiw I've never seen anything like that happen and if poo poo was dirty the head chef would flip out. Just don't go somewhere where the kitchen staff obviously aren't going to give a gently caress - usually cooks/chefs do care about what they are serving just as a point of pride and they'd never tamper with their own food.

Most restaurants can't even pull off a proper eggs bendedict. I have no idea how they gently caress up hollandaise that badly. Not that hard to cook better when the bar is set so low.

The reality of the situation is the cooks don't give enough of a poo poo about you or any individual diner to bother.

Everyone like their hollaindaise a little different but yeah most places are bad about it. Go to better restaurants.

I just meant like I doubt you can cook the range of food that restaurants can give you; I'm a good cook but there's no way I'm making sushi as well as someone who has been making sushi for 15 years can. There's no way I can get Thai to taste as good as some Thai person cooking that poo poo for 10 years can.

Plus restaurants can often source much higher quality ingredients than you'd otherwise be able to get, either due to just lack of suppliers or the cost of the ingredient; I'm not paying for a whole fresh tuna or whatever to get delivered to my house just so I can have 1 plate of it. Saffron is another example of something that is expensive as poo poo if you buy it but I'll gladly have 1 portion of it on 1 plate of food.

A good restaurant can make those kinds of purchases and come up with some amazing specials that I'd end up paying out the rear end for in groceries if I tried to replicate even if I could.

uh Costco is awesome but you're not going to get the high quality fresh stuff restaurants can get from there.

I can go to the restaurant supply store and buy a whole animal to take home and butcher myself. No way Costco meat is going to come anywhere near to that and there's also no way I'm bothering to do that for one meal that I feel like eating. No way Costco's seafood is as good as the fresh caught stuff that gets delivered in the morning straight from the fish markets.

Cheap is nice when you're a college student hanging out with the same group of friends almost everyday and you've already been to every restaurant in town. Aint nothing wrong with filling an evening with half off mozz sticks and cheap beer. Now that I go out to eat a lot less I don't really care too much about price and seldom go to chains but i do think people exaggerate just how bad they are. Their specials are generally going to be the cheapest food around and the quality is passable.

you tell me? you're flipping out because somebody extolled the virtues of cheap food and beer. applebees sells the same poo poo beer for $3 that other places do for twice or more around here. so yeah. it gets you effectively drunk, for cheap, and you can have some mediocre cheap food as well.

You do know that casual chain sitdown places actually have far worse calorie counts and are usually way worse for you than any fast food, right?
