Steaks with a half-fried egg on top is standard restaurant fare in some European countries.

I was glad I took a chance on medium rare once, but now the only steak I will order is filet mignon. You can’t screw up filet mignon!

You can be a vegetarian and still know how to roast a delicious medium-rare prime rib, etc.

It’s like how English people say zed and Americans say zee. Neither is right or wrong, they’re just different.

Nope. It will always be an acronym for (Super) Nintendo Entertainment System. I can’t stand when I hear people call it the “Ness” as no one called it that when the system came out.

Nintendo Japan’s pronunciation of “NES” shouldn’t be considered authoritative because nobody calls it that in Japan. They call it the “Famicom.”

Counterpoint 3: it’s short acronym. ATM, FBI, CIA.

“Flight” is sort-of-new, sort-of-extremely-old. It’s based on the proto-Indo-European root “*pleu-”, the base for the words flow and flood.  Think of it as a flowing of beer.

These days, the places capable of creating a beer flight that doesn’t have IPAs or APAs are few and far between, alas. They’ll have 30 different *PAs, a few Belgians, and a handful of sour beers (the new fad), but if you can find more than one bitter, bock, bayer or Scottish ale, consider yourself lucky.

Isn’t shadow banning something that happens here too?

I see grilled onion, raw onion and even pickled onion. But no sauteed onion.
Someone must not like White Castle.

I probably tip around 30% on average. Some times I give 50% tip, sometimes 20%, and sometimes a single penny. The waiters are not entitled to anything that’s not billed, and unless they actually add to the customer’s experience, they have earned exactly zilch.

The server should have sent the manager over when there was no table available for them to move to. Then the manager could be proactive in offering some kind of compensation and the server gets to be the hero for it.

Wrong. Don’t punish your server, it wasn’t their fault.

Hey restaurant owners: live music is never a good idea if you’re not exclusively a bar.

I don’t mind novelty places like mariachi restaurants. That is all part of the fun, you’re not going for a regular night out there.

The #2 is for plants where the white juice is there in liquid form, not for things like almonds where you have to go through processes to extract a paste that you then dilute it to get it to appear milk-like. If you can suck the milk out of an almond like you can from a coconut, I’ll let you call it almond milk.…
