Considering that the waiter then went through ten minutes to carefully explain the process of peppercorns turning into pepper, I doubt this was a ‘oh I have a slightly complicated digestive issue that I need to avoid whole peppercorns for but I dislike spending time explaining it so I’ll just say allergy.’ I know…

I know some foods you can be allergic to the raw form and okay with the cooked. because that’s an actual chemical change, but grinding is a whole new witchcraft.

I’ll admit I did that for a long ass time - in my defense I had never heard the word uttered outloud; there are no Chipotle restaurants in my area, I only know them as the peppers I cook with. My area is also very white/east asian so no hispanics to help me learn either.

That's a delicious souvlaki, a greek wrap. It's amazing.

I wonder if that woman was mentally ill, or pregnant.

Gross, if they 'couldn't' hold then cheese than the cheese must be included right on the burgers at prep and they probably cook a whole batch ahead of time and refuse to make a burger fresh.
