One of my favorite restaurants is Green House Tavern of Clevenad. My favorite dish there is the pig's head. I haven't had the chance to go back to Cleveland for that fine dish. I would literally slaughter a pig myself if I can have it tonight.

I had a customer scream at me for "not giving him salad forks" (they were on the salad buffet), tell me the soup was the worst he'd ever had, and then freak out when his card was declined because "Do you KNOW what kind of credit you need to qualify for this card? You will NEVER have one of these."

He came back for…

I've told this story before, but I like it so here it is again:

This actually happened today because there is never a dull moment managing a restaurant. We have this insanely needy regular, let's call him Ted, who comes every day at 5:00. Last Saturday, as he was leaving, he asked for prayers (? Sure, buddy) because he thought he was having a heart attack. Turns out, yep he sure…

Face bacon. Yeah now I feel like I've stepped into Leatherface's kitchen.

What does back of house concessions mean, as opposed to a restaurant manager? I am assuming it does not mean making movie theatre popcorn?

I worked at a seafood restaurant as a waitress for a few months. We did a buffet two nights a week, one for seafood, the other was like roasts and stuff. I used to give customers massive metal bowls to put discarded shells in from quahogs and lobster (if they ordered that separately) and stuff and I always made sure…

lolol i went to israel in the 3rd grade for a wedding and ordered fish for dinner. it came out head, tail, and all and i cried like an infant because it scared me so much

I had a good friend (I'll call her Carla) that worked at the TGIF in Times Square. There was a regular customer that always gave the staff a hard time. Carla had a bad cold (no days off for restaurant workers) one day when the dickhead customer came in. They decided to share the love by letting Carla hock a loogie…

Worked at a restaurant on it's last legs. Was INSANE.

I worked at a local ice cream franchise. The owners made extra money by making nitrogen-frozen soft serve and milkshakes using special milk either frozen or mixed with the ice cream. They bought the milk in bulk and so deep-froze it to keep it "okay" longer. However, apparently that does not cut it for the FDA, and an…

You're going to need to report that right away!

I've flown a few times on British Airways and the food is actually really decent. The dinners on their transatlantic flights are nice and I've even had a totally edible breakfast on a 1.5 hour hop from London to Edinburgh. That said, I don't have especially high standards for my grub and on an 8 hour flight with…

The fish platter on China Air wins it for me. I couldn't stomach that one....to top it off, they ran out of the chicken plate right in font of me. I was pissed.

The best plane food I ever had was when my boyfriend used to work for Air Canada. We used employee upgrade passes a few times a year and did Europe on the super, super cheap (i.e.: $60pp round trip Executive class to Paris). The food/drink was amazing - champagne before take off, smoked salmon, filet mignon, cheese…

I love airline food and am not afraid to admit it!

I recently checked out this photo archive of first-class meals from the 50's-90's. Pan Am First Class, holy crap. http://www.airlinemeals.net/browseOldies.p…

I have to say that the meals I got flying to and from Dublin on Delta were actually pretty good. I've had some abysmally bad meals, and was very pleasantly surprised.

Last time I flew Air France had an excellent vegetarian meal.
