Well said

As an ex retail monkey I agree here

Typically means "you will be overworked and underpaid so that you can achieve the owner's financial expectations while you are given free pizza on Friday (but only if you provide excellent results)".

Only reason Darian doesn't wear a cape is because it'd be an OSHA violation.

Her: So is it processed or not?

Well, that still makes him the chef

I mean, it's nice option to have but shouldn't be the only one

Wow! 👏

You mean the Sorbonne.

That's a fit!

We do tend to be quite open in this business.

Good for Nick.

Tried it once, now have constant anxiety when I hear the sound of cutlery lol

Agreed.

When I'm drunk, someones in trouble, because I'm 13.

Been there.

The last bit got me.

Rest in pieces.

Isn't it unfair that the waiters get tipped but not the cooks?

I love extra spicy! That's why I have stomach problems now!!

God I love spicy. But I like flavorful spicy, I'm not a huge fan of spicy just to be spicy.

One of the Thai places near me rates their spice levels 1-5. We ordered a level 5 once. Waiter looked at us, said "I'm not bringing you a 5. You can have a 3." We protested in vain. He brought us a level 3. That man saved our lives that night...now we order level 2 when we go there.

Was in a Vegas breakfast/cocktail place where they did goldfish bowl sized cocktails. We'd ordered Bloody Mary's and eggs Florentine and I'm sat there shaking the hell out of this tiny bottle of tabasco trying to get this huge bowl vaguely spicy. All I can hear is sniggering behind me, turn round to a table of Australians, specifically 3 generations of one family peeing themselves laughing at me, eventually they start cheering me on it took about 5 minutes to get it spicy, just ridiculous.

When I order extra spicy, is is 99% of the time weak as f**k. When I say extra spicy, I mean it. Like on a scale of 1-10 spice level, make that s**t 100.

Just remember this folks: "What goes in hot, comes out hot".

I order extra spicy and it never is. One time they made my Arros con Pollo, extra spicy, it was obvious that they put Sambal Olek in it, probably about half a cup. It was delicious but if they were expecting a reaction, I keep a huge jug of that in my fridge and it probably constitutes 25% of my body mass by now 😆

I've seen this look many times. It is usually followed by shock and/or a slightly impressed nod of approval.

You know they have 10 bucks on this by their faces

My stepdad once ordered something from a restaurant that was supposed to not be that spicy, but it was one of the spiciest things he ever had. To the chefs surprise, he absolutely loved it. he ordered it again and it wasn't spicy at all

I go to the other extreme "Baby's first chilli" and not a Texan baby. Just enough to notice. Had chipotle sauce on steak and chips, my lips went numb and my nose ran.

My dad has had too much hot and spicy food that his tongue now barely feels any heat or spice

I go through a bottle of Tabasco a week, the only things I do not add hot sauces to are coffee and desserts, so I often get this kind of stares for the opposite reason - the stuff can not believe the level of hot and spicy I can eat with obvious enjoyment.

i wish i could do this with this one chick who orders extra spicy food on delivery who probs doesn't tip well bc her doordash drivers are always late.

Now that is a clean kitchen!

Wish 2 see the customer to🤔

My ex once ordered "yellow hot" at a Thai place. He ate it. He was crying, sweating, and hiccuping, but he ate every bite.

Don't forget the bowl of chili oil. Ya know, "In case it's not spicy enough."

Love extra spicy but it can be a crap shoot. Once had the waiter fanning me in the face with a menu and another time being offered tea to quell the fire. All the while trying not to laugh on both our part.

I'd like to introduce them to my sister

I had some friends from Thailand that told me the Sambal Olek peppers for the spring rolls I just learned to make by trying to measure my handful of stuff compared to the tiny grandma's handful of stuff, was strawberry jam. The smoke coming out of my ears was something I can never forget. I think I made a sound like a steamboat or a locomotive. It's all a blur to me

I have ordered food this way and loved the results!

It depends on the restaurant but my friend and me regularly ask for a chef's surprise, and when in spicy kitchens we ask for 'like your mother would cook'. We've never been disappointed.

they would be disappointed in the lack of response from kacchan

Me: shakes some pepper into your spiciest dish. Not hot enough guys. Them: Ready for ghost pepper chicken?

I notice if my food was once in the general vacinity of any spice with heat. One of my fave foods that's near impossible to eat is chilli con carne, no matter how mild. I still eat it, milk and banana on standby. Being a super taster is a frigging pain (in this case literally)

plz explain
