[quote name='kodave']You eat your meat wrong. (Yes I realize that's a strong, borderline douchebag statement to make.) No pink on your burgers? Really? Red meat is supposed to be eaten medium rare, maybe medium at the highest. A good tip is to order your burgers medium rare at chain restaurants because if anything they'll over cook it, and hopefully at worst you'll end up with a medium burger. But I suppose since you're paying them, if you want your meat OVERcooked, they should give you that. I wouldn't be surprised if some cooks or chefs cringed at your well-done orders.[/QUOTE]
Is that why on all those celebrity chef shows, especially anything with Ramsay, they always have blood coming out of their red meats? I'm always yelling at the tv that they're going to give their customers food poisoning. To me if it's not cooked through it's raw, which equals not cooked, which equals getting the squirts from bacteria in the raw meat.
I got the whole "Pink or No Pink" thing from Red Robin, that's how the servers always ask when you order a burger here. And even there I've gotten pink, undercooked burgers. Usually they fix it right, but twice the server just nuked it, and when the manager came around I complained and got the meal free. To me when you tell a server there's a problem, the answer is not to nuke it. Same happened there with a burger cooked right, it was just really cold, when I complained the server just nuked it again.
And I forgot to mention this earlier, but at a diner here (Viewmont Diner) there's one dinner (chicken croquets) that I really like, because of the side dish, glazed carrots. For me that makes the dinner. So I ordered it one saturday afternoon, and they didn't have the carrots, so I said ok, I don't want anything then. I wasn't starving, and I'd pick up something later. I was with my Mom, and she was starving, so she ordered something for herself. As we're sitting there we could hear the waitress rather loudly telling the other wait staff and cooks that there's a guy out there throwing a fit because they didn't have the carrots. He actually doesn't want to eat because we don't have the glazed carrots!!! So we're laughing because we can't believe this, then another waitress comes over and she puts a menu in front of me and tells me there's lots of good food on the menu, why don't I order something, and she'd wait while I looked at the menu. She just kept going on and on about why don't I order something, I should eat!!! Finally had to raise my voice for her to leave. Was a terrible experience, and again, no tip.
Oh Jeez, now I keep remembering bad services past...Another time we were in another pizza place, (Dino & Francesco's) and we've eaten there maybe fifty times over the years, and my mom Always gets the texas weiners, and she always likes them. This time they came, after waiting about 20 minutes, and she said they tasted sandy, like the weiner sauce had grit in it. So I tasted it and sure enough it was very gritty, we called the waitress over, she apologized and got the owner, who then proceeded to argue with us that there was nothing wrong with the sauce, that her son made the sauce and it was fine, this went on and on, then she finally asked if my mom wanted something else instead, which she didn't, so then she says because we took two bites out one of the weiners we were going to have to pay for it, wether we ate the rest of it or not. Again, no tip there either. Wasn't the waitress' fault, but we weren't leaving any tip after the owner argued over it.
that!
At least I got a free meal outta that 4 hour shift, but I decided that washing dishes at a place paying $3 an hour was not for me.
