I don’t even expect to see fettuccine alfredo on the menu of most Italian restaurants. It’s not particularly common in that context here.

That sounds like a shitty book full of the sort of “advice” and tricks entitled people come up with to supposedly ensure they get better treatment than everyone else.

I would not say that either thing is true.

To a certain extent brunch, prix fix menus, and restaurant week are all situations where simpler, higher…

One time my wife saw “pasta alfredo” on a menu and said “can I get the chicken alfredo” and the waitress went on a mini-rant saying they didn’t have that. My wife said that was fine, and just ordered the pasta alfredo. The waitress looked at her, totally deadpan, and said “Want to add chicken to that?”

So would you say this has caused the franchise owners to go into full...meltdown?

Ordering off-menu is absolutely about a power play. I worked in a dive bar where during day hours we had maybe 2 regulars drinking and almost never got any food orders. Some guy came in one day and decided to order a salad, which, just, no, and when I told the bartender to tell him we didn’t have salads on the menu,…

I dare you to listen to Billie sing acapella and then Rihanna without autotune and tell us who you think is better. Perfectly fine not to like her music, but Billie is wildly talented.

It’s complicated. My (mis)understanding is that the ship is operated by Evergreen, one of the big names in container shipping (annual revenue about US $7bn) and owned by a leasing company called Shoei Kisen Kaisha, a subsidiary of Imabari, a big player in Japan’s fight to stay in a turbulent and consolidating…

Please provide a picture of the GIANT YELLOW BOOT affixed to the Ever Given that keeps it from sailing off.  

Can’t think of a worse way to spend 4 hours than watching the Snyder cut in B&W. I guess a close 2nd would be watching the Snyder cut in color.

I like that the show is using and reusing props from previous seasons.

Don’t call Danny Trejo awful garbage either.

I was hoping that the headline meant people had finally grown-up and stopped following him. No, just another paid public appearance for people who shouldn’t be celebrities. 

Haven’t the Cubans suffered enough?

Enterprise, country, or planet.

His body is rejecting itself as a hostile organism.

“(Why the new Artificial Speed Force would still have the same persona as the original, now-dead one is not really something we’re supposed to think too deeply about, I guess.)“

I thought it wasn’t artificial, but the actual Speed Force, kept alive in Iris from when she got powers?

Cecille having a one-on-one with Barry felt new. They’ve probably done it in the past, but if so its a pairing they don’t use a lot and it was a nice change of pace.

• I really like Frost’s personality.

Former DA Cecille Horton is the best character on the show, prove me wrong.

Thank you for what may be the best researched piece I’ve ever read on AV Club.
