weirdly enough, because I tend to be a writing snob, I find her writing incredibly pleasant to read. Descriptive, but very to the point.

It's because he's doing homage and she's the real genuine deal. People want their flyover country tales filtered through NPR first. Actual small town folks are hopelessly uncool.

I read this entire thing in Garrison Keeler's voice. He gets all the accolades, she get's all the mockery, but it's the same damn thing.

For that attitude alone you'd get at least a 50% tip. Depending on the dish, the restaurant, etc possibly quite a bit more.

I am always the type to just eat something no matter what because I am so non-confrontational. Once, however, I was out for drinks with a friend and I ordered a new kind of drink. I hated it so much after one sip and my friend told the waitress and she gladly took it away and replaced it with something else. It was…

My general rule is more than a couple bites, you're on the hook for it. If you take 1-2, you can send it back, though. I had numerous customers do this, and I never minded doing it, even if the kitchen sometimes did. Generally, they were actually great customers — they felt bad about it and a lot of the time I had to…

I suppose I'm okay with your one bite concept, though I'll confess I've never seen anyone do that on the grounds of not liking something. I've seen people send things back immediately when they saw the dish and realized it wasn't what they were expecting, and I've seen people cut into meat and then send it back after…

THANKS GUYS

The only person who is angry, ALL THE TIME, is Mellie. Who is white. Super duper white.

I think I heard her on the say it on the Oprah show about her. This was a dumb reporter and really sad because this is a huge moment for WOC. She writes shows that are dynamic, interesting and gossipy without losing wit or relying on tired story lines and in a time when people think reality TV killed scripted shows.…

Thanks for breaking this down since I was kind of too angry about it to think this critically. I think she also called Nicole Beharie, who is the lead on Sleepy Hollow, a sidekick. Seriously, fuck that noise.

This is ridiculous considering the character most like her by her own words is Christina Yang.

Makes the meatball sandwich sign look rookie by comparison.

Lol what a jerk. because we OBVIOUSLY have time to make a special meal from scratch in the middle of service.

Does he think chefs put all things they hate on their menus? Wouldn't it be in their best interest to put their favorite/best dish on their menu for all to enjoy?

A friend of my Dad's had the annoying habit of going out to nice restaurants and asking the waiter to choose a meal for him. It just sucked; it put the waiter in an awkward position; and it was an unnecessary hassle and a weird power play. So one time they went to a restaurant where he said that, and the waiter just…

Oh fuck off. A lot of people have gluten sensitivities, and even if someone does have Celiac, it's more likely that the server is going to understand "gluten allergy." You're busy, I'm busy and it doesn't help any of us if I'm required to explain my entire medical history to you justify why I'd prefer a gluten-free…
