Why are Black people so loud and aggressive?

I've never had a Black person go out of their way to be nice to me or inquire genuinely about my welfare or offer to help me.

To answer your question, I spent a year in Chicago for college, and I went to "Cafe Absinthe" a few times in Wicker Park.

It was right near the L station and they had a super nice 5-6 course tasting menu of modern European-ish food and they always let me order booze too despite being 19.

The best restaurant experience I’ve had was on my honeymoon at Mr Fish in Myrtle Beach. The restaurant was quiet because my wife and I went during the afternoon before the dinner rush so we got seated near the bar and watched Almazan Kitchen and MRE videos with the sushi chef. The alligator bites were so good I just got a second order and called it a meal. But undoubtedly the best part was not tipping the flaming queer waiter and saving ten bucks. Faggot looked like he’d have used it for heroin.

The original Ray's the Steaks in Arlington, VA
Its not the best food ive ever had. it's not even the best steak in DC. but it was the best dining out experience ive ever had. The original was about a 15 table restaurant with maybe 35 or 40 tops, total. Chef Landrum's goal was to serve perfect US prime at an everyman price. and you could eat prime for like $20 or 25 a steak. It was great, but reserved 4 or 5 months in advance. So here's the story
>Snowy night. Maybe a foot of snow, so i figure Ray's had some cancellations and maybe we could get in.
>swing by and ask - yeah we have a cancellation in about an hour and a half.
>cool, lets go to the mexican joint next door and have a couple margaritas while we wait.
>go in and go to the bar
>Two margaritas please
>are you... waiting for a table?
>no jut having a couple of drinks
>are you waiting to eat at Ray's?
>yes, why
>I'm sorry, your money is no good here. We're not a waiting lobby for rays.
>excuse me?
>yes, I'm sorry. you'll have to go.
>bewildered, we left and started walking through the foot of snow to our car
>BANG BANG BANG. Landrum is banging on the glass waving at us
>we open the door to rays.
>did Guajillo just kick you out because you were waiting to eat here?
>yup
>come with me
>Chef set up two wine crates and made a table for us, served chef's choice and didn't charge us. I left him a huge tip. The was before the days of Yelp, but i told everyone I knew about how we were treated at Guajillo.
>like i said, not the best steak ever (but certainly top tier- i don't want to sell it short. it was awesome) but it was the best dining experience ive ever had.

>>13178811
For me it’s outback. A lot of people may not like it but it sticks with me personal. Growing up in a small hometown we didn’t have a lot so my first time eating outback was when I was 8 and eating a BIG plate of cheese fries. I kept eating outback either with family or friends (on occasion I’m not a pig) up until I graduated high school and moved out. Brings back lots of memories

The foie gras tasting menu at a French restaurant on Long Island that is no longer there.

The two that standout
>hole in the wall bbq joint in nowhere, Oklahoma
>still fantasize about the pulled pork I had there
The other
>local higher end bar
>served a cornish game hen on a bed of wild rice, sausage, and whatever the hell else was in there
>go back once ever couple months and order that same meal while drinking great beer

Hugo's Cellar in downtown Vegas underneath The 4 Queens. I had done a last minute trip to go with a friend to his father's 4th wedding. The wedding night I had to do something else during the reception since it was at some restaurant in the venetian and they already had a set amount of reservations. I ended up hitting a ten thousand dollar jackpot on ten handed video poker (dealt royal flush). Had fun that night, but everyone left on Sunday and I was staying one more night at Main Street Station. Didn't gamble much more but hang around and drank, even a Sunday afternoon strip club excursion. Afterwards I decided to treat myself. Was able to walk in without reservation and get a table for one. Anyways, I let the waiter (an old fat guy, ubiquitous in higher end steak houses in my experience and for good reason) know I was celebrating and he set me up a feast. Keep in mind that Hugo's is not a la carte like most steak places, I would have never have ordered this all the sides:
Bread plate
Tableside made salad, many options like artichoke hearts and pine nuts
A Manhattan that came with its own little carafe so it was really like 3 Manhattans
A 'filet de Atlantis' (which includes a king crab leg), Oscar-style (which added more lump crab meat with white asparagus and hollandaise sauce) with a side of jumbo scallops.
Espresso
Included dessert, three chocolate dipped fruits, fig, strawberry and I forgot the last.

The entree was because I asked whether I should get the filet, veal Oscar or scallops and he said, why not all three? Drinks were extra but after tax it all came out to 140. I left two even because it's. Vegas and I was up big. Brought that ten k home intact even.

Second best was a family meal at Capitol Grille. Third best was numerous times at Texas de Brazil.

>>13178811
Joel robuchon in Vegas. Ive eaten other fancy multi course meals but this is the first one ive had that actually wasnt a meme, with every single dish being actually good and the meal in total actually filling me up.

>>13178811
Probably going to a Golden Corral buffet on a junior high fieldtrip. I've obviously had better food, but probably never enjoyed a more carefree meal.

>>13180281
We used to go to a Chinese buffet in high school and we would absolutely trash the table. I mean one guy went way overboard everytime and would so stuff like empty the napkin dispenser on the table then dump entire plates of food and glasses of tea on top. I’m assuming we got banned I don’t really remember

>>13180281
>>13180306
Sophomore year the JV linemen would have 'fat boy Fiesta' at places like this, plus Panchos back in its glory days. Terrible food but good times.

>>13179002
>Watched Almazan Kitchen and MRE videos with the sushi chef
I applaud you. I've always watched them alone.

>>13180374
Why?

>>13180374
He actually had them pulled up on the tv when we came in. My wife and I watch them a lot so we just started talking about shit and MREs came up so I pointed him at Steve and Russian Hacker. Super chill dude, if you end up near Myrtle Beach definitely check the place out.

There was this stand in restaurant that opened near me and it was basically just what ever the chef made as a special.

That week was sort of an offal theme.

We got braised beef cheek and tongue nachos, sweetbreads with various pickled items and some bomb dressing. They had a massive rare wine list, and made amazing cocktails.

It was fucking amazing. It only stayed open for about I'd say seven months, then it randomly turned into a Taco place, it was very strange. But they had the braised beef cheek at a taco menu item, so I'm guessing they were just testing the waters a bit.

>>13178811
La Piquette in DC made the best short rib and mashed potatoes I've ever had. And their Gateau a l'Orange with creme anglaise is crazy good too. L'Auberge Chez Francois out in Great Falls is another favorite. Older people have told me its declined since its heyday, but I like the oldschool feel

>>13179308

well look at Mr. 1%er over here

Uchi in Austin, hands down. Scallop hot rock is probably the best single thing I’ve ever eaten. Service was superb, ambiance wasn’t quite to my liking but inoffensive. My best friend swears he got food poisoning from there on a separate occasion, though.

Interesting experience and clearly not fake because you wouldn't have had all the detail. But odd that the mex restaurant would care if you were ordering drinks while waiting to go somewhere else. I mean, it's not that uncommon to stop by a place and have drinks before going to another restaurant.

Laconia New Hampshire.
This fine dining establishment.
The name escapes me.
My girlfriend, now wifes grandparents birthday.
Steak tips. My fucking god. If that steak was butter. My mouth was the frying pan. Most tender, juiciest. Fucking god. Beyond words.

Potatoes were really good too..
Fucking AA+++

For me its Mama's Fish House in Maui. I'm a picky eater meme but they surprised me. The waiter stopped me from ordering a specialty cocktail by subtly inferring that it was for ladies.
Next they brought out the only asparagus that I have ever enjoyed. It was an asparagus bisque.

My main course was NY strip because I dont eat fish. They paired it with taro root and some assorted veggies. I pushed those to the side as my steak was perfectly rare.

I left a 100% tip as I had never before been so impressed with service and food

Mexicans don't always do that but they're the only ones who do.
>entitled assholes who leave their home and DEMAND that YOU learn THEIR inferior invader language
I just can't understand why people voice concerns over them, guess they're just rayciss

it was some Italian place in manhattan. in a basement or something. i remember we had rabbit and pizza and a stupid expensive bottle of wine. i also remember being stupid drunk to where i thought i was gonna blackout while we were waiting. bomb ass food tho

>>13179308
Imagine being so stupid that you turn down customers who want to buy alcohol--the biggest markup a restaurant has. If the dumb spics were smart, they'd PAY the steakhouse to send waiting customers over there to buy drinks while they wait.

I've heard that one reason restaurants hate delivery services is that customers are not waiting around at the bar, buying drinks, while they wait for a table, which is one of their most profitable areas. I can't get over how stupid the spics were.

A nice little bistro in Shipley, West Yorkshire, called The Waterside(or could be the waterfront. i forget)
I had a pork & black pudding terrine, a veal medley and finished with a sticky toffee pudding. That was all on the seasonal menu and totally exemplary.

Earlier this year at the Jax Cafe in Minneapolis. Dad took Mom there a couple of times when they were dating so I took them there for their Anniversary. Clicked on the anniversary option under 'special occasion' option and we got a table right next to the pianist they have playing during dinner. Got the prime rib with a side of shrimp. We all had a great time.

This. Booze is how restaurants rake in cash. Think about your average margarita: 12oz of ice, shitty “tequila”, bottom shelf triple sec, and some lime flavored syrup water at $8 a pop? Why would you pass on selling that to some sucker?

our bill was 15K. for about 8 people at golden monkey outside tokyo... was work dinner but this was incredibly epic. never experienced anything like it, you didnt really orde except to take what was being served. red wine had to have been the high ticket item and. . .. it was the best ive ever had. this was wrap party after a movie shoot and the sky was the limit. unforgettable.

Me as a kid, early 90s, downtown Toronto old school Italian restaurant (all the waiters old guys in tuxedos), got tortellini alla panna (tortellini baked with cream and reggiano parmigiano). Served with amazing garlic bread to finish off the cream sauce.

Blew my head off. Changed my whole perception of how delicious food can get.

>>13178811
Somewhere in utah that had huge biscuits, can't remember the name. Ordered a burger that came topped with their brisket, bacon, cheese, red onion, and thousand island. Went back for breakfast a few days later and got their biscuits and gravy which was also a winner. Really nice scenery too.

The Denver Chophouse, AKA the only restaurant that doesn't suck 100% cock in the Denver area. Not only is the environment fairly comfy, but it is also mid-high end and has no dress code so I can wear whatever the fuck I want while still enjoying good food and service.

I ordered a 22 ounce porterhouse steak, which was cooked perfectly and the sides were also very good. The kicker was, my dining partner is fairly picky and they accommodated that with no extra charges or trouble at all. It was a fantastic experience, beyond just the food.

>>13187456
> 15K. for about 8 people
makes my heart ache. I know this is poorfag logic but I think even if I had money I wouldn't spend it like that. I mean people have been writing about great meals ITT for 150$ max.

>>13186364
SOME....ducks are getting pipes shoved in if I stopy, but the fact is there is a lot less veal raising going on these days.

That all sounds true and you're a retard. Spics have no excuse not to learn english because of how easy it is for them to do it in comparison to all the other minorities. A spic that can't speak english is either a retard, pretending, or an entitled shit that won't do it.

>>13184492

>>13178811
All of my favourite dining experiences have led to me learning something or changing my mind about food. Usually that comes in the form of a great bottle of wine (there really is value in good curation), foods that I haven't tried or had much of in the past (truffles, prosciutto / other expensive cured meats, caviar, etc) or weird parings that turned out awesome like pumpkin and white fish. I can't say that those places offer the best meals I've ever had though, since it is frequently the case that I leave a high end restaurant hungry. In my last example the fish I ordered I have actually caught before; it is required by law that you throw fish of that size back in, and I'm only given half of it.

Korean BBQ probably wins it. There's a place in Melbourne china town just off Swanston. 10 - 15 mates, a selection of meats at a decent price (less so these days), a selection of flavoured sojus and rice wines that I haven't tried before and I leave with a full belly.
Crosskeys hotel was also quite nice. 15+ family members, I usually get the spiced calamari and the wines of the month (a red and white which were each top tier every single month until the guy picking them left, now they shill some piece of shit $10 bottle).
The Irish times is also up there. A grade lamb in the Irish stew. Bard every Friday. Poor drinks selection, but I don't mind guinness.

>>13182173
>The waiter stopped me from ordering a specialty cocktail by subtly inferring that it was for ladies
Not acceptable. The bartender at my regular pub handles this the correct way by assuring me it is great that I'm willing to order whatever I want, the he too loves red wine, and then regales me with stories of footy games and bottles of merlot.

Seafood market Taipei is legit as fuck. Had pic related legs with lemon and was fucking divine. 1/2

>>13188652
2/2 their sashimi was Japan equivalent but nigiri is actually better imo because the nips are purists while the taiwanese chinks will cheat a bit and add bits of flavor here and there while pretending to be perfectly authentic. Turns out I like the slightly manipulated version more.

>>13188676
This is the second pic attach fail ton, wtf is going on with the server

Went to a two michelin starred resturant in toulouse. Lobster bisque for starters, fillet of beef main and chocolate fondant for desert. Girlfriend was dumbfounded by the lobster bisque it was that good. The butter and bread rolls were minblowing. Champagne and whisky flowing. Awesome. Never been topped. Kobe beef bacon cheeseburger was also up there.

Nigga im sure the steak was good but ur killin me going to mamas and skipping the seafood lmao. I aint judging u tho. Surprised i even saw this place mentioned here desu

i had my bday dinner at limani in nyc a few years ago with my gf. it was our first time going on an overnight trip. we were only there for one night and it was 1 month or so into our relationship. the meal was great. the food yea but just the anticipation of going back to our hotel afterwards and finally having sex with her really added to it.

>>13182173
Mama's is my favorite too. Went as a kid, was probably my first 'seriously good food' meal. We had the papaya soup to start, then the mahi mahi.

Just a wondrous place. The beach is so comfortable. It's so beautiful. I want to go back some time soon just to see it but I don't have the scratch. It'll be a great time. I'll bring the polaroid of the old gang and wish that Raegan were still with us. Miss you Rae. She loved my Mama's t shirt. My favorite shirt still.

Go to Mama's and get a drink and toast it to your friends and family. Life is good and worth living. Just let yourself enjoy it if you can.
