I never put salt on anything, just because it never crosses my mind to do so. My dad had pretty bad hypertension when I was younger, so we all went on a low-salt diet with him for whatever reason, so I'm pretty much used to it. My wife, on the other hand, puts a ton of salt in everything, even if it's salted during cooking, and she thinks I'm the crazy one. Maybe the answer, like always, is in the middle???

I think a lot of customers of chain restaurants/diners etc expect to season their own food, so the cooks don't. Like if you go to beef o bradys or something and try to eat a french fry as it is, it's going to be pretty bland and you have to salt it yourself. They are probably sick of picky eaters complaining their food is "too spicy" because you sprinkled a little pepper on it so they went into "here's the cooked food, do whatever to it i don't care" mode.

I'm also convinced this is true, but, like you said, for chain restaurants. If you go to nice restaurants, there's usually no salt or pepper on the table because you're supposed to enjoy it how the chef/cooks prepared it. Apparently (according to my buddy who is a sous chef) it's somewhat insulting to the chef; basically saying that what he prepared isn't seasoned or tasty enough.

She does weird, creative poo poo with food in ways I would never think of, and it's hilarious to watch. It's laughing with her, not at her, as she does goofy poo poo with food and has a good time. Chill.

If there's a few posts, mostly positive, you can safely assume most people enjoy what's being shown unironically. E: or aren't yet watching, in my case.

I legitimately like Meatloaf Princess. To a certain degree, she reminds me of when I started cooking. And I think her weird dresses look comfortable. I like her eanestness to try weird ingredients. Good for her, I hope she cooks a lot of good food she likes! After all the goal of cooking is to cook food that tastes good to you. If other people don't like our food, gently caress 'em.

Here is an actually good recipe to makeup for that: Put a chuck roast (3-4 lbs) in a crock pot About 10 pepperoncini peppers 1 tablespoon of Italian Spice (you can find it at your supermarket, or mix it yourself it you're a pretentous hipster/wanker) 8 oz dark beer, like a Porter ~1 cup of Chicken Broth salt: whatever tastes good to you Please sear the meat for a few minutes per side before putting in the Pot. Otherewise, let cook for 8-10 hours and enjoy!

You should at least try it as intended. How would you know you want to add salt or whatever if you didn't do that, anyway?

The closest I've come to working in a kitchen is bartending (or Pizza Hut as my first job when I was 16). Personally, I've never felt the need to add additional salt to dishes at restaurants. Usually the food is good as is. Now when my wife cooks though...

Kilo joules? What the gently caress? I have never seen nutritional information advertised as something other than Calories or kcals. Where is that from? e: I zoomed in for any identifying info and all I found was "The adult daily recommend energy intake is 8700 KJ."

literally every nutritional sticker here has both kJ and kCal information. Hardly a big deal. Anyway, have you people never heard of chicken lollipops? It's a well established culinary term.
