My biggest complaint about The Jinx is they gave zero background on this woman. Her deposition was riveting! She was so hostile and aggressive. That voice like she'd lived in a Honky Tonk since toddlerhood! I totally assumed she was so street ruffian he had picked up while on the lam. Thank you for shedding light…

Moisturize, ladies.

Does Andrew Jerecki actually think that goatee looks good?

I would imagine the daughter of a one-footed kosher butcher and a holocaust survivor would have been raised to view ruthlessness as a virtue. I mean to survive the holocaust or the cutfoot (hee hee) world of kosher butchering you would kind of have to be a little bit unyielding at times, no?

Debbie does Durst. Can't wait for the movie.

I don't know why anyone is surprised that the group of 40 had no qualms about not calling ahead! Hell, they thought the SUN should stand still for them.

Also how do you find yourself spontaneously in a group of 40 people that needs to eat?? Like, I have found myself in a situation where I'm suddenly with 15 people and we haven't made advance plans because we were at a work happy hour or something, but 40?? If you're going to eat lunch with 40 people MAKE A RESERVATION.

And some people are just morons. A lot of gentiles I know get kosher turkeys for Thanksgiving because while they know nothing about kashrut itself, they think they're somehow "better" - so I wouldn't put it past someone to call and ask for a kosher ham for Easter or any other occasion.

What is it about bread that makes for such magical stories?

It was when I hit F5 for the sixth time to reload the Kitchenette blog, hoping that BCO would be up, I knew that I had a problem.

I wholeheartedly agree. Fuck all that noise.

People who do that should have their fingers cut off. I am BARELY exaggerating.

I'm upset by the green olives.

Can we have a round of applause for all of the awesome managers this week? There is nothing more satisfying than a manager that has your back when a customer is being an asshole.

The other day I witnessed a mother grabbing her (13 year old?) son by the front of his shirt and saying "don't you EVER do that again" for being snotty to the cashier at a coffee shop.

These are all stories of HEROES.

I walked into a Chipotle a few years ago. Now, I'm not really familiar with their menu since I have two Mexican parents with exceptional cooking skills and would normally not eat Americanized-Mexicab but on this particular day I said what the hell, why not? We asked for tacos and when we saw them pull out the flower…

Exactly. I was a very pleasant, friendly, attentive server. But snap at me and *fuck* your service. I'd give a side eye, grab the check, drop it down, and not go back. I didn't need a tip from someone treating me like that.

I worked as a waitress in a nice Italian restaurant for a year in my early 20s, and can I just say, the worst customers of all were the "finger-snappers". Please, if you need to get your server's attention, address them as they walk by. For the love of god do NOT snap your finger in the air from across the room like…
