/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Ordered food, got food, ate it, yum, didn't tip because it's not mandatory. Get a job that doesn't rely on charity if that bothers you.

nothing will ever live up to that again

Stayed in a Spanish village in the middle of nowhere, in Spain’s least visited region.
Too tired to drive at night, so went to the only restaurant in the area.
It was empty so I was a bit anxious (no shit, the village only has 30 inhabitants and it was in January when everybody cancelled their vacation because of meme flu).

It turned out to be a feast, with so many extremely local dishes I never had elsewhere, very fresh, with cheap beer. I was with my mother, and we order 4 plates and everything was perfect. The owner was truly nice as well, and gave us a dessert for free, as a way to welcome us (we were the first foreigners in his restaurant, he owned the business for less than a month back then).
And it was darn cheap. 25 euros for both of us.

a cute young honey showed me and a a coworker her tits in the walk in cooler

A restaurant where the waitress had excellent hips and very nice hair. She said she liked my eyes and I felt happy and told her I liked her hair. But I didn't tell her how attractive her hips were because I thought that would sound sleazy. I had pani puri, onion pakoda, and saag. All of it very nice. She said "good choice" when I ordered saag, which also made me happy. I liked her a lot, but knew she wasn't wanting to be my girlfriend so I didn't try asking. But sometimes when I feel lonely I still like to imagine if I had married her.

>>18022297
This one time the waitress asked me for my number but she was also kind of homely, chubby and with a dyke haircut so I didn't pursue and she ended up being a coalburner in the long run lol

I guess the day when I finished university and I went to celebrate alone at Sizzler by eating lots of prawn toast and tomato soup. But it was more because of the sense of elation from finishing uni.

>>18022297
went to a turkish restaurant that looked like a cave and they gave me free raki because it was birthday, i havnt been since but the food was amazing and i was surprised there was only 1 other family in there

the big coof man
i can probs go back now i actually planned to take my mother there at some point

I went to Chick-fil-a today, was listening to the song "Smile Meditation" in the drive through. Weather was nice, but hot. When I go to the window, the the lady I have a crush on handed me my food, smiled and said "Hi, good to see you. How are you?" I then said "Good. How are you?" She said "I'm doing well." Then I said "Good," smiled and drove off. She's really pretty, and seems like a genuinely good person. So that was nice.

"dont fall over it will get you down"

I was on a train to Busan and trying to figure out my next step. Managed to find a well regarded Samgyetang restaurant, which I hadn't heard of (didn't know much about Korean food, obviously).
Not only was it easy to get too, it was also early enough that nobody else had arrived.
I got to enjoy a wonderful meal that was a new experience in a peaceful setting.
As I was finishing people began coming in. Great timing.

Getting ass fucked by a greasy wop named Tony. He didn't like that I said his pepperonis were as greasy as his face and his mother would be rolling in her grave at his """italian""" cuisine.

>>18029218
He said best not worst, that's the other thread

>>18030262
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.

Central in Lima, Peru.

I've been to a lot of top end restaurants in US, including a half dozen Michelin 3 star places. Central was the first and only restaurant I've ever been to that really expanded my vision of what food could be and how beautiful of an expression of a culture and place food is. Just stunning experience.

>>18030276
looks like shit

>>18030276
What is in pic?

>>18025915
What is a coal burner

>>18030282
So you say. The concept of the menu was the individual biomes of Peru. So each course (like 15-17 total I think) was from a different area: tropical reef, deep ocean, low desert, high deserts, mountains, jungle foothills, etc and used ingredients sourced locally from those areas. Literally nothing in the meal could be found anywhere outside Peru, and each dish not only had the ingreidents but the cultural background of those areas, the presentation, etc. It was unbelievable food. Such a special meal.

>>18030293

>>18030288
Piure percebes and razor clams.

>>18030276
Did they serve the main course over mud?

>>18030276
This dish was piranhas. The heads were decorative. The little bowls had a broth made from piranha bones and herbs that grow along Amazon river in Peruvian jungle. The lttile puffs were smoked/grilled pastry filled with piranha meat.

Whole meal was about 3 hours. After we finished, we had a tour around the kitchen and the research area where they catalog and test the stuff they've found from expeditions into the country. We met the head chef who talked with us for a few minutes and took some pictures. Service was super great, very welcoming and enthusiastic, not stiff at all.

>>18030309
This course was potatoes basically cooked in clay to simulate the rocky terrain of the Peruvian Andes where potatoes were first cultivated.

I would walk out if somebody served me that

I was on acid and a bunch of girls thought it would be cool to blow my mind in the bathroom. Unfortunately I freaked out shit my pants and punched one of them in a stall and wound up in jail but she didn't press charges except they all took videos and posted and now I have PTSD and can't go out in public.

>>18022297
Travelled to italy and ate at two places that stood out my entire life

>small family restaurant on amalfi coast. We ordered 'dinner' for the family and they started serving courses. Hands down some of the best food I've ever had, but the views and service were impeccable as well.
>tour guide in rome is probably ~25. literally tells me that Mussolini is the last time Italy was great and that's his favorite politician ect. Takes us to his favorite restaurant. I let him order for me and got chicken intestine/pasta. Best pasta meal I've ever had in my life.

Lamb leg from some random place in Athens. It was a dirty city but good food

>>18031095
Ah Athens... such a fall

I've had great food at a lot of places and little family owned businesses are some of the best. But I have to say, the absolute best I've ever had was at a supremely expensive in Baltimore called "Charleston" I grew up in Baltimore and took my wife there to see the inner harbor, crack dealers and dilapidated neighborhoods. I heard about Charleston and since it was our anniversary, I decided to splurge. You order a 3, 4 or 5 course meal and can pick each course. We went for the 5 and I had foods I've never had before, like Sweetbread (hint, it has nothing to do with bread! It's veal pancreas!) and a Maryland Crabcake. My wife had her meals and I got her the wine sampler too. The service was out of the world. The food was beautiful and tasty. It felt like every crumb on every piece of bread was in the right position. In the end, my bill with tip came to just under $400.00 and yes, I would do it again.

And... I got laid that night!

It was a good night.

>>18027535
This sounds familiar to me. Where was it?

>>18022297
got my dick sucked under the table at a long john silvers while eating a wild alaskan pollock meal

>>18023692
Honestly kind of wish I had a memory like this. Even though I'm married and love my wife and will never leave her.

>>18022297

I was at a popeyes and I just ate some fried chicken. The breasts were juicy, and the buns were soft and warm. Afterwards, the divisiobvbn manager of Popeyes came up to my table and asked me how the meal was.I said I was satisfied, but the meal lacked a certain je ne sais quoi. He apologized profusely, and said he had something to show me that would make up for it.
He lead me to the back of the popeyes, to a room soaked from floor to ceiling in blood. In the center of it was a live horse, chained by all four legs to the structural supports of the warehouse like room. As I watched, employees of the popeyes cut large sections from the horse, which was whinneying and screaming in horror, the remaining sections of its body covered with festering sores and a froth of sweat.
The popeyes employees took the chunks of horseflesh and sliced them into pieces, then they rooted around through the bags of trash strewn around the room to find discarded chicken bones.
They quickly tenderized the meat with sledgehammers and fed it into a machine which formed the horsemeat around the bones, then they breaded and deepfried it.
I asked the division manager why he had led me back to this place, and he pointed at the steed's rump, the diseased asshole puckering rythmically with terror, squirting pus with each convulsion. "We're just about to use that section, would you like a crack at it first?"
I quickly unzipped my pants and wasted no time jamming my erect penis into the stallion's defenseless asshole. With each thrust, I donkey punched the horse in the back of the head, making it clench its ass even tighter. I came just as the horse died. I was delighted. Popeyes definitely went the extra mile to make me a satisfied customer.

I wish I had a family

>>18022305
Based. I don't just randomly give money to people I see on the sidewalk so why would I tip? Here's a tip: make sure someone agrees to pay you a fair wage BEFORE you do the work!

I hate this fucking website

>>18031197
Kek

>>18022297
i've received free food on multiple occasions just for being me i guess. either because they forgot i existed or because of something good. dunno. i think it's probably the way i speak. only once have i ever been denied service and that's probably because my college could only hire ex-workers from the campus kitchen where they're all black or hispanic and learn to hate the customer from day one.

>>18022297
There's this thai restaurant in Keflavík, Iceland (picrel). The service wasn't anything special but it had the best thai I've ever had. If I had enough money I would fly back to iceland just for their food kek

>>18031434
forgot pic

Technically two, but they're pretty much the same experience. At both an Indian restaurant and a taco truck, my family were among the few whites that ate at those places and apparently the only ones who knew how/what to order. The owners would give us free stuff periodically while we ate and were very friendly.

>>18031207
You can go to a different board that doesn't have to do with food my guy. But yes I agree.

Not as good as some of the stories on here, but there was one nicer restaurant where I used to live, and it was always comfy, especially on my birthday. The bartenders there were top notch, knew exactly what I wanted to drink, and would ask me to try new things they were making for the menu to get an opinion. Sometimes, the guy would say “hey, I found this great liquor the other day, you should try some on the house”. I dunno, just really comfy, more so then just being le valued customer felt like they enjoyed having me as much as I enjoyed going.
Kind of gay, but I’m tearing up a bit writing this. Miss that place, haha.

>>18031408
It's not normal to ever be denied service.

>>18031469
Lol yeah that's pretty gay

>>18023692
I can relate. A pajeet once told me my eyes looked very romantic at an Irish pub urinal in Osaka.

>>18032660
Did you redeem and do the needful afterwards?

L atelier de Joel Robuchon in London
My fucking restaurant in Barcelona
Le pied de cochon in Paris

I grew up in sonoma county eating literally the best food in the world. I had no idea how shitty everyone else's food was until I moved.

>>18022297
L’Epicerie at Claridges in London with Mark Sargeant cooking was good but one of my most memorable and great experiences was in Malta many years ago. The owner had converted part of his house into a resteraunt and he cooked the fish he and his son caught that day in whatever way he decided on.

>>18032791
Oh and Viklari (The Last Castle) in Cyprus is amazing. Simple BBQ food done extremely well whilst sat on the side of a mountain overlooking the med. Want fruit after your meal? Just reach up and pull grapes off the vines growing above you.

>>18022297
For me (flyover hick); I know its cliche, but on my honeymoon in Maui. 5 separate restaurants. Maybe it was the food, maybe it was the experience but I was blown away

1) A place called "Da Shrimp Hale" https://www.yelp.com/biz/da-shrimp-hale-kahului We were over near the airport and just wanted some grub as we were drinking all day. Went to this place and didn't know what to expect. Just saw shrimp and figured we're in Hawaii it has to be good. We go in. You get basically an all you can eat garbage bag full of shrimp. Heads, tails, and shells still on; so you had to pluck them off and throw them in a bucket or whatever, but god damn, they just loaded this bag up with melted butter and cajun seasoning and we just pigged out on shrimp. I think it was more memorable because that was the first night my wife let me give her a facial. She was horny as fuck the entire time because she was in that perfect range where you are sober enough to know what you're doing but not yet blackout drunk. Even took a pic because she stuck her tounge out and said "get ready because I want you to cum on my face like this later"

2) I know its cliche, but Ruth Crist in Hawaii.I got oysters rockefeller, filet mignon, and I forget the side but the oysters and steak was delicious. Another couple overheard it was our honeymoon & bought us a 100$ bottle of wine which we finished. Fucked like Jackrabbits that night. 9 months to the day my 1st son was born

>>18032823
3) https://mamasfishhouse.com/ Mama's fish house. Apparently this is the town where Willie Nelson and Owen Wilson and Chris Pratt lived. Its on the way to the Road Hana. I got the mahi mahi and the wife got a lobster tail I believe. Just rich food. You can tell the food is just rich and the portion was big enough but when food is rich you only need smaller portions because it tastes better. I believe this is why shit places load you up with food.

4) Humu Humu at the Grand Wailea. We heard about this place and how they have great food. We both crushed some King Crab Legs. I had a great experience though because I was actually sat at a table next to Alice Cooper. He noticed I had a golf polo on and had something on my phone that intrigued him and came over and shot the shit with us. The food was 10/10. Expensive but that was expected.

>>18032823
>9 months to the day my 1st son was born
so you didn't use that pile of condoms or were those just for out in public

>>18032839
what a legend!
I love when alice cooper goes to hell

>>18032839

5) This one wasn't in Maui, but at a bachelor party in NOLA I went to the Oyster House in the french quarter. CRUSHED some Oysters. It was great beacuse all the black people were dressed up like servants. Really gave me plantation vibes.

>>18032849
>It was great beacuse all the black people were dressed up like servants.
that's warms my soul just reading it. beautiful

He has been sober for 30 years apparently but he is actually a really good golfer. Apparently he has shot better than some pros at pro-ams. Golfing in Hawaii was kino. Looking back I wish I would have asked him to go with me. I didn't want to leave my wife alone on our honeymoon, but how many people could have said they golfed with Mr. SCHOOLS OUT FOR SUMMER. Pic related this is the view my wife took (she rode along) the one day I golfed while we were there.

>>18032842
No it was my honeymoon the goal was clear: have lots of sex, drink our asses off, and find some other activities to do while the sperm is re-loading and the pussy is raw.

Anyway the other cool experience I had wasn't at a restaurant but at a friend of a friend's house. Dude was a cocky rich as fuck boomer and had a few bottles of Pappys. Let me drink a few glasses. It was good; but, not worth the 2,000$ imho. Neither was his George Stagg. I think anything > 140$ish for bourbon is just silly, glad I drank some of someone elses to teach me that so I didn't waste a few grand.

>>18032863
did they have negros there to carry your bag while you cruised the cart
>pick up the pace jamal, I'm hot today

I can't picture alice cooper golfing as old as he looks. he probably cruised the course with a snake on his shoulders no doubt

>>18032884
lol no. I don't think I saw any black people in Hawaii desu. Lots of Hawaiians. Actually quite a few Kiwis apparently its the halfway point to America. One night we were at a bar and met a bunch of dudes on a bachelor party where half of them were from New Zealand and the other half American (this is pre covid), the bachelor's name was Albert and they all had shirts that said YAY BERTS NOT GAY (pic related) and they just kept singing, which I thought only Bongs did but it was very entertaining. They were the life of the party.

Cooper is apparently in love with the game, or he really hates his wife and wants to get out of the house.

>deserted shack in Antigua
>order conch fritters

Local burrito place near me. I live in a shithole crackhead city in Ontario, this place is full of bad reviews from retards who only eat chain burritos. They don't knoe. I go in, and it's just one lone Mexican man named Jesus who owns and runs it. One stove and it's got 4 massive, very obviously old and well used steel pots on it, instantly know I'm about to have the best burrito of my life. Two sizes on the menu, "burrito" and "small" he also has pozole soup. Anyways I got a barbacoa burrito, and it was fucking awesome. Everything was fresh and made in house, and his cilantro sauce was insane. Burrito and a drink is $10. Left a hefty tip and bought a box of Pulparindos to boot. Thanks Jesus.

>>18033147
>I live in a shithole crackhead city in Ontario
no one ever says I want to be a junkie when I grow up
