restaurants ought to have a waiver. "you said you can't safely eat x and we told you that the menu item you chose contains x and you chose to eat it anyway. and if you get sick, we'll show this to your lawyer"

Was at our town's new "deluxe diner" last week. It's fantastic and they are brand-new so the waitstaff is still getting their footing, figuring out staffing patterns, menu quirks, etc. The food is sort of upscale diner-ish and just delicious. Anyway, as my table was finishing our meals, a new table sat next to us. Two…

oh, allergic to gluten lady, if you're going to lie, commit to it. i'd have refused to serve her for liability reasons, at least until she admits she was either lying or didn't know what she was talking about.

All these stories about people with gluten allergies:

You just need to start with a scoop of hot ice instead of regular ice.

You'd think we'd be sick of all this. You'd think. But no.

For the mouth part of your face!

Are the all-beef hot dogs made from carcasses?

I once knew a girl who thought that beef was the dark meat of chicken. No idea man.

I have so many questions. Mainly, how do multiple people confuse Vegetable Tempura with bread rolls? Who raised the rude people in these stories? How does someone not realize that a hot dog labeled "all-beef" is made from animals?

i dont understand blindly loyal friends who say nothing/back people up in their stupidity. shut it down, guys. shut the bullshit down.

The day you do a gluten-free themed BCO will be the happiest of my life. No pressure.

Is the ranch dressing served in a monogrammed coffee thermos by an aggressive Italian waiter who wants to eat all your bread unless the Russian patriarch can save it first?

Ooh boy I can't wait for the arguments people make trying to defend laundry detergent lady. SOME PEOPLE AREN'T FAMILIAR WITH YOUR HIGH-CLASS FANCY KITCHEN STORES AND SO MISTAKE THEM FOR TRADER JOE'S ALL THE TIME! MAYBE SHE WAS FROM A DIFFERENT CULTURE WHERE COOKING OIL LOOKS LIKE OUR LAUNDRY DETERGENT! IT IS…

omgggg i cannot wait for someone to raaaaaaaaaaaaaage

I happened to catch an episode of America's Worst Cooks on FoodNetwork yesterday. Talk about shocking ability to function despite severe stupidity (when it comes to food) – one contestant wanted to make chocolate, so she mixed vanilla extract with brown sugar. HOW DOES THAT EVEN BEGIN TO MAKE SENSE?

I took a bite and spit it out immediately. She, or someone, had used laundry detergent instead of sugar or flour in the mix. It was so gross. So much soap flavor!

I would have told the gluten lady that I couldn't bring her a veggie dog with a clear conscience knowing that she was 'very alergic' to gluten.

I used to work at an "Italian" restaurant which I won't name—rhymes with "Shmolive Garden"

"Oh! Well! Looks like you found those bread rolls after all. Wasn't that hard, was it?"
