When a restaurant lists "premium" chicken as an option it implies any other chicken is sub par. Why not list all your food as premium or none at all, that would make more sense

Makes idiots pay more. I went to applebee's the other day because my mom got me a gift card. I ordered a 'premium' dink. 12 bucks for ice. I was an idiot.

It's a way for Whole Foods to sell the same poo poo as everyone but with a huge markup.

I feel like any place that cant think of anything better than premium to describe their chicken is going to be food for poors. Fast food most likely

literally any high end restaurant that has an entree listed as 30 instead of $30 will have this as one of the options

It's a meaningless adjective to add on the front of something to make it sell better. "Creamy alfredo" sauce sells better than "alfedo sauce" even though alfredo sauce is by definition creamy, because of how our brains work.

"i'd like the chicken whatever"
"the premium chicken?"
"no, thank you."
the server's face falls and they lean away. they take the orders of everyone else at the table in a hurried manner, as though upset.

Not everybody knows that, by a long shot. That's why it works.

premium is code for "costs extra"

I once went to a bar in Barcelona that was mostly gin and they had not only premium gins, but premium tonics as well.
what the hell is a premium tonic?

There are better brands of tonic water. No idea if they're giving you them of course. They might just be using the fountain from the bar.

There's a bar near my friend's that mostly sells craft beers and premium poo poo and they also have a cheap beer on the menu called "hose water" on the menu. It's actually just bud light and how they trick dumb beer hipsters like me into ordering it.

Premium has more than one meaning.

"Premium chicken" is just regular chicken with a premium added.

Edit: next time they ask if you want the premium chicken, ask for the surcharge chicken instead.

are there any restaurants where you can bring in your own animal to be butchered and cooked? seems like an easy way to make the meal personal.

most people avoid eating their pets. i guess if the restaurant employed a licensed vet to properly put it down it will be okay, but for most the psychological element would still be a deterrent

i'm thinking livestock type animals. even if you just bought a chicken the day of the reservation, that would probably be enough of a connection for some people

(i wouldn't eat any of my pets, i've seen them do too much gross poo poo)

you should have to catch the animal and kill it yourself. you sit down to your dinner covered in feathers and blood and you got mud all over your tux

hose water actually comes out of the bartender's dick but i can see why you'd confuse it with bud light

There are restaurants where they really will bore you about the details of where your animal lived and what they ate and poo poo like that.
