Anyway, have you people never heard of chicken lollipops? It's a well established culinary term.

The idea of sucking/licking chicken is revolting. I will eat them like i eat chupa chups, crunch em up quick then chew on the stick for a bit.

Eh, Little Debbie changes the theme on their brownies every couple months, if it wasn't usually focused on public domain themes, they'd probably have Pokémon brownies every year.

Goddamn I want an oreo churro now though :yum:

You can usually find fresh to death ones at a Butternut Store (or something similar). The one that used to be near me (now closed, sadly) got deliveries straight from the factory sometimes multiple times a day. The only thing better would be eating them straight off the product line at the factory, but that might get you arrested.

I've heard this a lot, but I've yet to ever meet anybody who's actually offended by that.

I once ordered a sliced roast beef/au ju type sandwich and a nicer restaurant (like a step up from a chain, but not 'this place has a dress code'), and the center was cold. I asked the waiter about it, and for real, the chef left the kitchen to explain to me why the sandwich had to be that way, and that the meat was much more tender. He then proceeded to do the whole "But if you're sure about it, we can cook it more" in a lovely tone. I got it back, the meat super well done. It was one of the most awkward and uncomfortable experiences I've had. Call me an idiot in the kitchen, but don't come out and tell me why I'm wrong.

So they served your food the way it's supposed to be, explained to you why it has to be that way when you asked, and then re-did it the way you wanted it, and this is a cause for complaint.

If you run a business where you serve food, then your job is to serve it the way your customers want it. If you get all lovely with them and then gently caress it up on purpose when they don't like what you're doing, you're a dickhead and should get out of that business.

I'm saying make fun of me in the kitchen all you want, but the chef doesn't need to come out of the kitchen with the plate and talk down to me and tell me why I'm eating it wrong. Least just have the waiter tell me about it, I might have changed my mind. The chef lecturing me, that's loving weird. I guess no amount of text will convey how uncomfortable his body language was :shrug: The whole point was to say that yes, chefs can be offended by customer's choices.

That's the whole point--it's a deterrent. Next time you dine out and things aren't quite the way you'd like them and you're thinking about maybe sending something back to the kitchen, you'll remember the time you complained and were made a fool of when the poor overworked chef that slaved over your delicious meal had to come all the way out to your table, neglecting other patrons' meals, to ask what was wrong with it. You're supposed to be weirded out when it happens because the intent is to humiliate you so you don't do it again.

No sarcasm, but is that really a thing chefs do? It sounds more like a "...and everyone clapped" sort of thing, not a regular practice. I don't eat at super nice restaurants all the time, so maybe it is?

For gently caress's sake, the guy just wanted to know why his food was cold. Why should he be humiliated for that? Why can't somebody just say, "The middle is supposed to be cold, but if you don't like it, it can be heated up"? Like, if he's being a huge dick about it then sure, shame the guy all you want but there's this ridiculous attitude in this thread that all chefs are completely infallible and that if you don't like what they cooked exactly how they cooked it then you should gently caress off.
I was once served a piece of battered cod that was still cold in the middle. Should I have just eaten it? No, I sent that fucker back to be cooked properly.

Surely nobody thinks that when the chef makes a point of dropping everything to come "make sure the meal is to your liking" when you send a dish back, he or she is doing it out of a sincere desire to make you as happy as possible?

I'm not saying it's not a colossally lovely thing to do--it totally is--but the point is driven home very clearly when you see some loudmouthed redneck bitching about how he ordered his steak "VERY WELL DONE DAG NAMMIT" and the chef stands at his table, oozing contempt, holding a hockey puck that was once a T-bone.

Maybe this is a freedomland thing?

Also it's because of this I can never get meat properly cooked in average American restaurants even if I specifically order my steak blue, expecting it barely medium rare.

I can understand the chef being disappointed that a properly cooked roast beef sandwich was not good enough.

I never sent my food back ever because i thought it was rude, i ordered a burger though once that was utterly just raw as gently caress. not medium nothing just gooey cold and not just the middle it was pretty thoroughly raw. so i felt horrible and sent it back, this fucker sent out an even more raw burger.


sad part is, this was supposed to be a boutique-ish "artesinal" burger place and the burgers were like 16 something so yeah i kind of expect em palatable and not trying to gag down raw hamburger i dont give a gently caress if its 30% ground prime rib its loving raw.

No it's not a freedomland thing, because I don't live in America but I would expect at least the wait-staff to explain why a meal is served the way it is if I have a concern about it. I don't care about having the chef come out and hold my hand gently as they talk me through the cooking process, just have someone say politely why a meal is what it is.
