/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Does anyone on /ck/ have nice restaurant stories? I always hear the horror stories
of various things (like urinal cakes on wall as air freshener at the one place i used to go to, glad that place closed.)

I have one.

> be me about a little over a year ago
> couple days after Halloween
> dad had just passed away from illness and we finished up the last night of showing
> it was late and just wanted some food to grab and go with my friends
> go to local chinese place
> allows takeout from buffet line
> everyone gets takeout and lookign around they are close to closing time
> silentcrickets.mp3
> the lady there knows me because i frequent way more than a healthy amount
> she is always very nice and pleseant
> so as we are weighing out takout ($per LB)
> she reaches under the counter and pulls up a bowl of candy
> "you take candy!"
> we all laugh and take a piece
> she peers over to son (about 6) sleeping with head on table
> "you take more, quickly while he sleep!"
> dive our fingers in for seconds of the childs candy
> "more more, he have too much, he no eat it, more!"
> we all laugh and dive hands in for grabs of thirds in our bags
> all being satified with stealing a little chinese boys candy we go to grab our takeout bags
> "here now more!"
> she proceeds to handful in each of our bags leaving 1/4 of what candy there was in the bowl
> she smiles and send us on our way

I do kinda feel bad for the kid, but she probably thought too much candy make him like fat american!
Brightened that just just by a little bit, i still frequent there about every other week at this point.
Some of the best better food and nicer people for a smaller place.
