Sir Lemming posted:And sure enough, pretty much every restaurant like what he's describing has some option called "The Classic" or whatever for people who happen to be in a traditional mood that day (or picky eaters tagging along with someone more adventurous) There are a few restaurants that are "No substitutions" because they believe so strongly in their food that they won't make adjustments. There's a South African wine bar in New York City that has a lamb burger with house pickles and sour cherry compote that they won't do any changes on (even cooking differently than medium rare) because they want to maintain its uniqueness.

Unless it's a super fancy place I always assume that means "it comes pre-packaged frozen and we just microwave it/dump it in a pan".

Dude is complaining about burger joints in Los Angeles. The city where the cheeseburger was invented, McDonalds was founded, and has an In N Out within 5 miles of you at any moment. I have no idea what the gently caress this guy is whining about not being able to find a normal rear end burger.

Man, what even is this? Looks like artichoke spin dip rolled into a cheese cone (x2) on a bed of sriracha mayo, topped with hot sauce plops. And the plate is dusted with black pepper. Is it... a keto thing? I can't imagine why else anyone would put that much effort into making it. It looks like it would Fall apart at the touch, and you'd just be eating spoonfuls of spicy wet lipids in various states of emulsion.

The only restaurant where I ever tolerated this nonsense was Shopsin's. Because Kenny Shopsin seemed like he might actually hit you. And it was cheap. If I don't want the goddamn cherry compote, I'm not going to eat it, so you can watch me scrape it off my lamb burger like an angry four-year-old if you insist on bringing it out. Good job annoying customers and wasting food, wine bar.

It’s just an alternate spelling (and I think a lot older than ketchup). The pronunciation is the same. Dude thinks it’s newfangled because he’s an idiot.

Catsup is from like the 1920s. Simpsons made jokes about Mr. Burns saying it because he's so old and out of touch back in the 90s.

Swiss and mushrooms on your burger, man, try it and be enlightened. I'm not asking you to put a penis in your mouth or vote Democrat or stop yelling at kids to get off your lawn or forever forsake a normal burg. Just a slice of swiss and some grilled shrooms, and maybe acceptance that there are two good ways to have a burger in this world.

This reminds me of a Coffee Institute educational short that praised all the ways to enjoy coffee, and then gave the canonical recipe for coffee using the only three approved kinds of coffee maker. Get bent, French press. Percolators or bust!

Thanks to this thread and binging cooking competition shows, I spent most of today making the best chili I've ever made. Diced onions, a diced jalapeno, crushed garlic, and diced shallot into dutch oven with a little olive oil, heated until nice and aromatic. Lightly browned ground beef in other pan, and mixed it into the dutch oven, plus tomato paste, tomato puree, cumin, and a bit of brown sugar - and black beans (fight me). While that warmed up, I blended two little cans of chipotles in adobo along with pasilla peppers, and some other random mexican chili powders I had laying around. Into the dutch oven that went, and I covered and simmered it on low for a few hours. Stirred occasionally, added cumin / salt / pepper to taste and water here and there when needed. Made cornbread on the side, too. Holy poo poo was that good, and there's a lot left. The blended chili mixture alone is something I need to remember next time I make tacos, man that was good on its own.

What I also find irritating is that it is usually far more time-consuming and messy to make a 'simple' dinner of some kind of meat, potatoes, gravy and veg than it is to make something that appears to be far more complicated in a wok, but which takes about 10 minutes to cook and involves washing up exactly 1 pot - the wok.

A pot roast only requires a roasting pan  But "meat and potatoes" is code for "rural farmer" and all the conservative old-time nostalgia for it. Cheap cut of meat for the protein for heavy physical labor, lots of carbs (and gravy, which is stupidly carb and fat heavy) because being a 1930's rural farmer you're burning 5k-6k calories in backbreaking labor sunrise to sunset, simple because you're too poor for seasoning, and completely discounting the 8+ hours of labor your wife was spending cooking three meals a day for your sorry busted rear end. rndmnmbr has a new favorite as of 12:29 on Sep 22, 2018 |

Those types of places serve their food as an experience and an art form that the chef devised and framed as a menu. You’re not really going there because you want something specifically your way. It’d be like going to a classical concert and yelling freebird: you’re kind of missing the point of that type of venue. It’s a showcase, not a “I don’t want the olives or tomatoes” type of thing

There was a goon story from a waiter that might actually be posted in this thread about how he worked at a fancy restaurant and a woman was insistent on having the steak tartare and he started explaining what it was calmly because he experienced this a bunch before and she snapped at him that she knew. Of course later he brings it out with the quail egg etc on top and she freaked out on him that her steak wasn’t even cooked
