I love Coil, and their earlier incarnation of Zos Kia, but driving to Coil makes me zone out. I cannot recall the name of the song that keeps repeating "Are you exploding frogs again?", but that shit is not good for driving unless you are trying to scare the shit out of a hitchhiker.

I came here to post the same thing. RIP Sleazy and Jon Balance.

Who uses blue Kreature Kooler as a mixer. I will never miss those days.

I'm 6'4 and if you sit in front of me reclining is not an option. My knees are already hard pressed into your seat.

I tried to explain this on another discussion, but your description is spot-on. Depressed people are not necessarily sad. Also, the danger with clinically depressed people is on the uptake of drugs. A lot of times people are too depressed to kill themselves until medication or therapy bring them up to the point of…

And yes, she did eat the salad.

I think she was in shock from my sheer ignorance that she probably mistook it for brass balls.

The thinking that artificial sweetener was salt was definitely a mentally challenged move. Instead of telling you some of the dumb-fuckery that I have seen from customers, I will tell you the absolute most retarded thing that I have ever done in a restaurant that worked.

I'm fine with that. The end result is all that matters. I would rather have refreshed fries than soggy fries.

We would do it because we could generally count on 5-10 orders coming in within a half-hour. You have to reconcile both food cost and ticket times, so things can linger longer in the window than one would like. Which is my point, a lot of places that serve a ton of fries make a ton of fries so that they are not…

That should say "both front of house and back of house." My auto spellcheck has a mind of its own.

I've worked in several small and large fine dining independent establishments, both in and back of house, and unless you worked at some 15 table place, I would almost guarantee that it was more that julienned potatoes that were pre-cooked. Rice, pasta, and just about any kind of baked dish are generally par-cooked,…

That is not the case everywhere, and especially during non-peak hours. Pretty much anything that you serve a lot of in a restaurant is made in bulk, or at least partially cooked before you order it. Ticket times would be astronomical if this weren't the case. I worked as an expediter at a fine dining place that served…

A lot of people do this so that their fries are fresh. Any place that serves a lot of fries make them in bulk and salt the whole batch, and by ordering fries without salt the restaurant has to make a new batch.

Roman Candles were always my favorite. They are just so easy to aim. LSD driven fireworks fights were amazing. I'm surprised that I have all of my fingers and both of my eyes.
