reminds me a little of my Dad’s favorite - Ham Salad. Yuck.

different tack, not tact

There is a real place right outside Madison, Wisconsin called Quaker Steak & Lube. No joke.

I think at IHOM it's the sausage gravy you might want to stay away from

I don't care what "policy" is, if a customer is THAT awful the employee shouldn't be fired if/when they lose it. A buddy of mine was a call center Asst Mgr for a couple years & said that their terrible retention problems would be solved overnight if they sided with the employee like once or twice a year.

Yes, it's Schnitzel. Now tell me about Spotted Dick making sense.

Miss Lydia Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. For lady's complaints. Allowed great grandma to get properly soused once a month. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lydia_Pin…

White Zins actually being pink adds a level of confusion but why, seriously, would a resaurant try to "trick" a customer this way? Restaurants serve hundreds of people a day and would very, very quickly be caught out doing anything sneaky.

Whoever writes their menu is factually incorrect. I think of CFS as a southern & midwestern dish, but people here in New England still know what it is. Although the fancy places tend to call it Wiener Schnitzel at double the price (no it's not veal).

He's trying do make a point that he knows the correct definition of dressing and you don't. Like Miracle Whip - to me it's a funny-tasting mayonnaise, but to old people it's salad dressing.

Restaurants should have a lower limit on the Reading Comprehension SAT score for their customers.

I love the french. At least they're polite when they tell you that you have no idea what you're doing.

that's better than going through the menu asking 'can you take three things out & add these other two?'

'murrica!

I'm on the server's side 99% of the time, but on a few occasions I've had people who seemed to have no idea what common foods were made of and/or had never cooked in their life. If they didn't know about a cream sauce it could be that it was a new or rarely-ordered item they hadn't seen before, but it's management's…

BrandenburgBore is right, it's a real thing. It's genetic like being able to curl your tongue or having attached earlobes. Nonetheless it's not really an allergy, it's a taste sensitivity thing.

It's Arizona, there's a law against talking to mexicans or learning spanish in school.

like the way some countrie do compulsory military service - you'd do a two-year tour, rotating through waitstaff, call center staff, and middle-school teacher.

It's illegal in some states like California & Massachusetts but most places you're SOL
