/ck/ - Food & Cooking

I once had to wait a while for food. That was it.

One time I saw this guy shit on a table.

Morton's.
Baked potato that was raw in the center.
Server AND Manager argued with me about "thats how we do them here"
>nah bitch
>Chef 101: bake potatoes throughly
Ordered steak Medium.
Got Well done.
>"Thats how its done here"
>not a single ounce of pink in the center
Bitched to the Exec Chef, who chewed out both the assholes.
Got half my money back.
Havent been back since.

I have never had service bad enough to reflect the image you are using, OP. Really. /co/ has to do better.

Went to outback steakhouse; got a sweet potatoe. Was burnt on the outside, bland and tasteless on the inside. Complained, got another potatoe. Just as nasty as the first. Complained-agian-got free meal.

Never went back.

Not at a restaurant but this one time a pizza delivery guy dropped a pizza on my carpet.

>Traveling from GA to OH
>In the middle of Kentucky.
>Old man father is narcoleptic as fuck, demands that he get a steak because that's the only way he'll stay up.
>Alright dad.
>Get off on exit, no food places for miles.
>Suddenly, beautiful steakhouse, built in to the side of a cliff appears
>Dad says that this is where we will be eating.
>Alright cool, prolly has sweet ass shit.
>Walk in, place is decorated incredibly, legit ass place, beautiful view with giant windows
>But why the fuck are we literally the only people in here at 7oclock on a Friday...
>Old woman approaches us like we're the royal family.
>Takes our order, etc
>Holy shit, steak is 40 dollars.
>Whatever, it's gunna be worth it.
>Mom and I order the seafood platter to share.
>3 hours later, lady brings our food.
>Steak is cold, dad had asked for well-done. It is barely seared on both sides. Frozen and red in the middle.
>Our scallops are frozen/cold in the middle. Salmon is not even room temperature. Shrimp are the size of dimes. Imitation crab meat.
>Was told that this was all 'fresh caught' an hour or two ago.
>The woman stays standing at the counter the whole time staring at us.
>No one has come in yet.
>She leaves for a moment.
>We nope the fuck out of there, not a bite of food was touched.
>Swing by MickyD's and eat like fucking sultans.

And this is why I do not care much for Kentucky or it's cuisine.

Hard Rock, my dad asked for his burger medium well.

They brought it to him about 5 times rare as fuck. (Maybe they were trying to help him out, but it's not what he asked for and that's what counts.)

My dad being English and paranoid thought he was going to "die of food poisoning". I was too young to correct him.

Waitress says that eating their meat raw is fine because they "steralise" it?? wtf.

>>3989132
Were you really expecting to get fresh seafood in Kentucky?!?!

>>3989132
>Kentucky
>Ordering the seafood platter
You got what you asked for.

I saw some homeless dude drop trou in the bus lane at 42nd and 5th during rush hour and take a dump.

Still a better experience than some place I ate at on PEI.

>>3989114
why did this make me laugh so much

this thread has potential

bump

>>3989132
That is going to be hard to beat. It sounds like the start of a good Hitchcock film. 5/5 would read again.

We stopped in Bisbee, AZ.

Waitress had dreds and tracks on her arms

Black friend of mine went to a mom and pop chicken restaurant in Georgia or Alabama, forget which. Apparently the old waitress glared at her, then spat at her plate and called her a nigger. The actual owner came out and apologized and said they would fire the old woman, but she couldn't figure out why she would be hired in the first place for what was probably a long enough time to realize she was a racist.

I hope she took that as a lesson to stay out of Georgia or Alabama.

Technicality that's true. Enjoy your perfectly safe cancer.

One time I was eating at a Mexican place with my family. Our waitress was pretty good, cute little Mexican girl and the service was decent. She looked uncomfortable all night though like she was in pain. Anyway she brought us our food and came back right after to refill our drinks. She was bent over the table to fill my moms tea and out of nowhere this huge fucking fart was unleashed right over our dinner. I still remember the sound, it was tense, watery and loud as hell. And it wasn't all bark with no bite, it smelled fucking atrocious. I swear this girl had to have shit her britches. So as soon as she farted the nearby tables look over because it was so loud. Then my fucking dad starts guffawing his ass off because he thought it was funny and the rest of the restaurant looked over. Then the lingering stench started to creep out and my mom started gagging and heaving because she has a weak stomach. By this point the whole place is looking at our table. It really did smell awful. So this poor Mexican girl starts crying right there at the table and tries to apologize but she can't, she ends up running to the back. The whole place is looking at us and laughing, my mom and sister refuse to touch their food. The stench lingers and me and dad reluctantly pick at our food but its like having dinner in a sewer. So about ten minutes later the manager comes to our table, EVERYONE is looking and listening by now. He apologizes and tells us that the waitress was sick and he'd be taking care of our table now, he had to send her home. He asks if everything was OK and my asshole dad bellows out "NO, that girl just took a shit damn near on top of my wife!!!". Everyone around us starts laughing. The manager looks nervous and uneasy and apologizes, offers the dinner for free. So my dad wolfs down his entire plate, the rest of us just sort of sit there in disgust. Honestly I felt bad for the poor girl. I was both embarased for her as well as myself.

Back when I was around ten, my mom bought us Little Ceasers. I was halfway through finishing the crust, when I saw a small, but very obviously centipede-like bug in the middle, right before I took another bite.

I guess that's not really customer service though

>>3989254
Poor girl. I've worked in places like that, she probably told her boss she was sick and he wouldn't let her go.

>>3989251
Swap Indian for Chinese, Australia for Philadelphia, sister for waifu and calamari for rotten clams and the same thing happened to me. Another difference is that the waiter assured me I'd not be charged for the clams, but I was. I crossed out the clam portion of the bill, noted that they were not served so I am not paying, calculated what waifu's meal and my appetiser cost, and paid in exact change and left. The waiter ran after us a half block down the street saying that I "forgot to tip."
I was aghast and told him to fuck off.
I would say "fucking foreigners" but as I'm foreign to the US as well, I... I just don't know what to say. No one believes me nor waifu about this story, but it happened.

>young dude, obviously new
>greasy hair, fat as fatass
>awkward, asks us to repeat orders a million times because his brain apparently can't remember anything for more than 10 seconds
>he's sweating profusely
>suddenly drops whole sweet tea pitcher on our table
>sticky, ice cold liquid everywhere
>he runs away
>did you read that last part?
>he runs away and doesn't return
>we had to get up and ask another waiter for help, never saw him again

I swear r9k was my server that day. At least I got a free meal.

>>3989254

>>3989132
As a Kentuckian, I can promise that not all our food is like that. Unless you're at a restaurant on a river, "fresh caught seafood" isn't happening.

>>3989157
>>3989167
>>3989299
The restaurant was right next to a huge river type deal, it was over looking it. It was built in to the cliff it was hanging over. Claimed that the fish was fresh caught from there. Just for the record.
>>3989194
Thanks man. It was pretty scary to deal with after driving for 8 hours on an empty stomach all exhausted and shit. I could have ended up like a horror film, but I guess it did in some ways.

>>3989277
>I swear r9k was my server that day.
>my sides

>>3989340
Where was it? Must have been southern/southeastern, because we don't have that shit in northern KY.

I forget how old I was, must've been around 7. Dad, his two brothers and I think one aunt were in an italian restaurant.
>wait to be seated even though not that busy
>food doesn't come for over an hour, it becomes blatantly obvious they lost our order and the wait staff was too stupid to realize this.
>my dad loses his shit because i'm 7 and kind of weeping being a little kid not being fed. other relatives are also obviously pissed because this is bullshit
>i forget if they comped us all or some of the meal, but i distinctly remember as we're leaving, a waitress comes by and my dad pulls a single penny out of his pocket and throws it on the ground at her feet and says "there's your tip. fuck this place"

>>3989387
Has your dad been arrested/ordered into alcohol and/or narcotics anonymous meetings?

>Any restaurant in France
>Fantastic service until I open my mouth
>The moment I open my mouth and they hear I'm American, they simply take my order and disappear for at least an hour with literally zero service

MOAR STOAREEZ!

>>3989346
I have absolutely no idea. I was so tired and hungry, we were out in the boonies. It was just a really bizarre experience, and it lead to probably the most delicious chicken nuggets from McDonald's I've ever had.

>Silent for a moment
>Punch him in the back of the head
>"WHAT THE FUCK MAN, WHAT WAS THAT FOR!?"
>Explain to him that apparently the weed made him forget that I stopped by last Friday, he stepped out the back to take my order while the girl was in the bathroom, and that the reason he was giggling when he handed me my coffee and donuts wasn't because "I just remembered a joke I heard, it's nothing."

Don't know if it counts as "horrible service". A second after I heard that, my brain synthesized the taste of dick.

>>3989448
Your friend is a dick. Literally. That said, my sides are hurting from laughter.

No, I'm pretty sure it's because of the dragon dildo you stuffed in there.

Motherucker, you owe me a spleen and pair of sides; I just burst mine laughing.

It was our favourite restaurant, we were in there probably once a week... I figure they changed management or something...

I thought that was only a /g/ thing... or do you also frequent /g/?

so you're supposed to sit there like a retard beta for an hour and a half because the entire restaurant is full of fuckups and like it? be nice to people who are screwing you over?

>>3989508
No, shit head. Doing something cleaver like leading all the other customers into a revolt against the the restaurant or anything else is alpha. Your father acted like an inbreed hick.

i'm sure had this happened to you, you'd all run home and post on your tumblrs about the terrible service instead of being actual people and telling off the people who are fucking up your evening out with family.

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.

there we go. i haven't seen that copypasta used on ck in... shit years.

Went to Sonic (drive in burger joint, for those of you that don't know) with my mom once. Noticed food and drink tasted odd, I took the lid off my drink and there were big clumps of hair and shit in it. Burger had hair in it as well. We dumped our stuff out and drove off. From then on, I always take the lid off of drinks that I didn't fill myself.

>Great success

First time I've ever dined and dashed but, seriously, when the restaurant is empty there is no excuse for that kind of wait time.

Went to that one American steakhouse with the peanut shells all over the floor.

>wait like 2 hours for food
>food sucks
>waiter is an asshole

Turns out like 3 of their 4 cooks quit that night and the waiting staff was actually preparing the food. The place closed down a few weeks later. Now we're getting one of the highest rated American BBQ restaurants so it isn't all bad.

>>3989114
This happened to me once. Except I was the one delivering. This Asian kid at a college campus probably straight off the boat pays for the food in exact change. So I kind of understood why he didn't tip, he's not used to it. Apparently, he also isn't used to holding pizzas because he promptly drops them both upside down on his carpet and just stares at them. Then I immediately about-face and walk to my car. Shit felt awkward and a little sad.

>>3989396

Holy shit the exact same thing happened to me.

I'm English, and my family went to visit Paris in the summer in 2011. About halfway through the day we sat down at one of those cute stereotypical French cafes for a drink and a croissant and literally the moment I opened my mouth to order and the waitress heard that I was obviously from the UK, she fucked off and we never saw her again. My Uncle complained to the Manager and even he didn't do shit. We ended up just fucking leaving.

I mean really what the hell. How can a Cafe in one of the most famous Cities in the world refuse service to anyone not French and stay in business. Most of their fucking guests are gonna be tourists.

>>3989723
The french are assholes, this is a known and accepted fact.

>>3989723
>>3989727
They are snooty, arrogant, untrustworthy buffoons. I have known people from France who constantly disparage their own countrymen as being horrible human beings.

>>3989728
I had a great uncle that was in WWII, and he was wounded and stranded in France. A frenchman happened by, stole his uniform and ran off.

Needless to say, that side of my family has very little use for the French.

Strangest thing that ever happened to me at a restaurant.

>>3989560
In Japan you have to shout "sumimasen" for service. Maybe the waitress hasn't been outside of Japan for too long?

>>3989659
I have at least 5 sonics within quick driving distance of my house and go about once a week, and never had anything like that happen.

>>3989774
Maybe they all had a mass suicide pact and wanted to serve one last meal before offing themselves?

>>3989782
Pretty sure it was just a one off type of thing, they usually have great service. Might have just been some pissy cooks or something.

I have received all sorts of reverse racism in my food service that I now have to be served by a white person in an establishment or I don't order anything.

I'm a nice guy so I just paid for the pizza and it was still edible so I ate it, the place I was living was just a rental so I didn't care much about the carpet.
Later on that evening I had a knock on the door and the same delivery guy gave me a free pizza and garlic bread.

Once our waiter took our order, disappeared for 45 minutes, came back holding a baby and the cheque.

Only 4/6 of us got our food, we had no drink refills...

>>3989728
French here. Yeah, a good deal of the parisians are rude assholes towards everybody (french and foreigners).
Just tell them politely to go fuck themselves.

I understand accidents happen but not one person apologized for what happened and they did absolutely nothing to help.

>>3989250
It's pretty rare to find overt racism in the south. I lived all across the south for over 17 years. When I moved back to Michigan, the racism was rampant - from all races. I couldn't believe my eyes and ears.

You guys must be assholes or something, whenever I go restaurants or other food vendors I always get treated well, hell, half the time if I return I get larger portions depending on the employees there

what can you say

>>3989855
If you had bad service just one single time in your entire life, you could post a story in this thread and you'd be like everyone else. 99.9% of the time I get excellent service. But this thought hasn't occured to your miniature brain, has it?

That's actually pretty cool. If it was me I'd have probably stolen a bunch of food or whipped up a meal myself. Actually I'd probably be too worried of someone coming in and busting me.

One sunday, this place had a couple of customers, us three included. Still, they managed to take almost an hour delivering the food, and an other half our delivering the bill. Horrible.

Otherwise, I've always been pretty happy with places. I can't stand people who nitpick or act like some sort of wannabe food critics.

Took my wife and kid to a local ribs place for Sweetest day a few years back. Food was good, tons of it, service pretty good.

Get bill.
Server had added 15% tip to the bill.

What's this? We ad this automatically on Sweetest Day. There's a sign on the door. (there was no sign).

Family goes to car because they know I'm about to blow a gasket. Figure the food was good so I wasn't going to stiff the waitress.

As I fill out credit card slip remaerk that I usually tip 20% (and I do and would have).

Waitress remarks - you can put anything you want in.

Leave it at 15%.
Never go back.

Ever the optomist, I just laugh about it, thankful I got an amusing story out of it. I can't really complain all that much since I got what I paid for: chive and tofu potstickers and chili/honey chicken. Since I didn't get decent service, I didn't pay for that and since I didn't get my clams, I didn't pay for that, either. Really, it would have been optimal (and in good tact) had the restaurant, in light of its rotten clam "gaffe" (can you call a non-verbal error a gaffe in English?), comped the rest of the meal, I might still have tipped the waiter and might not have called L&I and H&S, resulting in the place being shut down for a few months, but as many non-westernised Cantonese seem to not understand the basics of civility, food safety standards and decorum, they can fuck right off.
I know it's racist, and I'm okay with that. Being a foreigner here myself, I really rather despise the stereotype and poor image other foreigners give me.

>>3989938
I would have just chilled there all night, and threw a party or something. Or set up elaborate pranks for the staff the next day.

>Visit Venice for first time with wife's family
>dressed like non-americans (no sports jerseys/logo wear/baseball cap/Nike hightops) but sport coat, button down shirt, comfortable walking shoes
>raining all day every day - acqua alta - we're drenched, need to dry off.
>Harry's Bar hoves into view - yum, Bellini tiem
>push through tiny vestibule followed by big gust of wind/rain - whole front room looks at us like in a Western movie. ohboyherewego
> maître d'hôtel rushes over - looks us over, sees FIL dressed in his tan trench coat and cop shoes, calls him "Inspector", leads us around the tiny bar that's 3 deep with tourists and expedites a fairly decent table in the back, sends barman to take drink orders - tells us we are welcome to stay as long as we'd like.

service is directly correlated to the degree you dress and act like an Amerifat

>>3989774

Similar thing happened to me at a bar one Sunday afternoon - door was open, TV playing football, couple of others hanging out at bar.

Wait a couple of minutes - no bartender. Ask others what's going on?

nopes all around - they'd been pulling drafts and leaving money out for the past 45 minutes.

mmmmkay, do the same.

this goes on for another 90 minutes

phone starts ringing, pick up, someone asks for Billy. nope, not here. well, who are you? what's it to you? I'm the owner, where's the bartender?
Not here dude, place has been open for a couple of hours people are hanging out pouring drafts.

click

owner comes rushing in expecting mayhem - finds about 10 people hanging out drinking, piles of money in front of everyone.

finally figures out, bartender quit last night, left place open - till was full, no thievery involved.

tells us to put our money away, open bar for everyone for acting like normal fucking human beings and not robbing the place.

>Get off work
>Tired and I know there's no food in the house
>Driving by a Shari's
>Fuck it, I'll stop and have something
>Maybe 10 people in the entire place plus a couple that came in right behind me
>Get seated, have my order taken
>Wait for a while
>Keep waiting
>Ask waiter if my food will be ready soon, says it'll be out in a few minutes
>Still waiting
>Couple that came in behind me has their food
>Check my watch, I've been waiting 45 minutes for a fucking sandwich
>Get up, proceed to their front entrance place where they have all their pies on display
>Go behind counter, take a whole pre-sliced pie and walk out the front door
>As I get into my car I see the waiter and what I assume is one of the cooks smoking out back

That's about the worst I've ever had to deal with, other than thickies in fast food joints forgetting specifics on orders.

"WE HAD OURSELVES AN ACCIDENT"

>>3989774
season 5 part 2 when?

After working a grueling 20 hours setting up, working, tearing down a very large merchandise booth at a festival, we were starving. We hadn't eaten all day since we had been slammed the entire time the booth was open. We were very tired too. The only place open was a Denny's, it was right next to the hotel we were staying in. We went inside and waited to be seated. There was only one other group of people in the restaurant at a large table in the back. We waited about ten minutes and then seated ourselves, the hostess FINALLY noticed and came over from where she was chatting in the back and said that the section we sat in was closed and moved us to another table. We got our menus ourselves when we had sat down the first time and so we were ready to order. There were four of us. We waited and waited and waited for a waitress, she never came. So one of us went to where the hostess was sitting down talking to a person at the larger table. The table was occupied by the band members of "Papa Roach" and their crew. The only waitress on duty was talking to them and didn't know she had a table. She came to take our order, I asked for my meal as well as a drink. fifteen minutes later we get our drinks, one person gets an order of cold ass toast that was supposed to go with his meal. Ten minutes after that he gets the rest of his breakfast (it wasn't what he ordered at all) and she brings out the other two meals, but forgets mine. She says she forgot to put the order in but would make it right and get it out to me fast. The other people at my table start to complain because everyone's meal is wrong and cold. She says "hold on a sec" and disappears. One of the guys gets up to go find the waitress again, but she was gone?! .

>>3990195
Papa Roach was still there laughing it up with the staff. We find the manager and complain, the waitress come out with my order but it is completely wrong and cold. We decide to go find another place to eat. We tell the waitress that the orders are wrong, the food is cold anyway, and that we will pay for our drinks but we were leaving. She gets the manager, the manager threatens to call the police. We call her bluff and tell her to go ahead. She gets mad at us and throws a fit. Doesn't call the cops, we leave.
Fuck Papa Roach, Fuck that place

not at a restaurant but i got an ice cream cone full of hair at a mc donalds. I was like 8 or 9 and my dad was pissed at me so i ate it. IT was like somebody had taken a wad of hair out of thier comb and mixed it in the ice cream

This ghetto little places on a border South America town, the service was good and they were very friendly but i wonder what was going on on their cuisine.

>>3989035
The other night, waitress barely spoke to us. We ordered drinks and a jug of water, she took her time brining us drinks and forgot the water, we had to ask her three times before we got water. Then we had to wait ages to order, the food came kind of quick but we had to get up and find our own condiments, then it took ages for us to get the bill and ages for our change. She didn't get a tip.

We were the only table.

>>3990196
My friends took me to see them for my birthday two years ago. I fucking hated Papa Roach then and I still do. Had to pretend that it was the best night of my life. Fuck that.

>Stepdad loses his shit and berates the waitress.

Used to live in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, went to Cracker Barrel for breakfast once with some friends, got seated and then sat there until other patrons had received their meals and never even got a drink order. Was the last time we ever went.

Now living in Raleigh, North Carolina, and there was a local place called Barry's Cafe that my father in law really wanted to take me to for lunch since he loved the place so much. Got seated, put in our order, then waited about half an hour for cold, dry, bland burgers and limp fries. Waitress never came around to check on us or refill our drinks either. Complained about it to the cashier and manager and was told that's just how long it takes for them to cook 3 burgers and there was nothing wrong with our food or service. Cashier even tried to equate our wait time for our food to waiting for a table at a fancy restaurant.

Such is life in cleveland

Went to a steakhouse and ordered a rare steak. What I received was completely gray and didn't even have any traces of pink - well done dogmeat unfit for human consumption. Since I was paying out the ass for this, I complained and they went back and made it again. And again, I got charred dry dogmeat. So I sent it back AGAIN and I finally received something edible. Normally I hate to be the complainer, but this was ridiculous

every time I go to P.F.Changs, there's tiny little hairs covering the surface of my plate.

its been the most impoverished city in the usa like 3/6 years now

most violent at least 1/5 years

There are nice areas and if you know where to go you can have a great time. Strong foreign/indy film culture, best playhouses outside of NYC, really nice little italy, amazing art museum, great hospitals, strong rock and roll concert culture, plenty of good restaurants, good food from the westside market and the lake, epic architecture left over from rockefeller era, absolutely saturated with violent impoverished blacks and dangerous shit happens to good people in 'safe' places.

Wasted an entire night to eat bad food for fifteen minutes, never going back to that restaurant again. There were no tips left that night, though we almost gave one to the new girl.

One time a lady changed her baby's dirty diaper on the table at a restaurant I worked at.
Seriously, there's a restroom right around the corner.
WTF is wrong with people. How do you live for at least 30 years and not at any point come to the realization that doing that in a busy restaurant is a terrible idea.

>>3990542
Are the poor blacks and the whites living in mixed neighborhoods or is it pretty segregated? There are plenty of rough areas in my city too but neighborhoods tend to be racially divided and everything to do and see isn't in the bad areas. For instance there are million dollar mansions on my street but less than a mile away is one of the roughest and most dangerous parts of town. Never had a problem here and I see white folk walking around the streets like its nothing.

I'd sage for off topic but this is /ck/, that'd just be pointless.

as far as food there is deep roots in here from old european families but few restaurants remain. Bourdain went to sokolovs in his cleveland episode but the rest of the episode sucked ass; they went to skyline chili for fucks sake.

Sterlis slovenian country home was owned by the people who owned the hopra house before it closed, sterlis was just sold, ill greentext that story next.

Gallucis is an oldschool italian import shop with excellent stuff, rare cheeses and great wine selection

Ill make a few more posts about the subject over the next few minutes if people want to listen, its a subject close to my heart

I think the problem is some of your guys sit down first before having the waitress show you your table. When I walk into a restaurant that's somewhat busy, they have to show me to the table and get me my menu. If you just sit down, quite frankly, the waitress won't even know you're there. You need to have eye contact with somebody there first.

>>3990542
Can't overstate the Cleveland architecture comment. Been a while since I visited, but the downtown is like a massive architecture museum. I was amazed with it even as a little kid. You could almost hear Gershwin playing in the background.

Went to a bowling alley that had to be all original parts from the 40's.

Also, the movie Christmas Story was set there. They filmed the infamous santa claus "You'll shoot your eye out kid" scene inside the Macy's downtown (its probably the only mall that looks like its from the 50's left). When I was there, they had wooden escalators.

>>3990553
Please do, I find the topic interesting. Also I know nothing about it. When people mention most cities something immediately comes to mind whether it be the food or the skyline or the bands from there or movies shot there. Honestly the only thing I can think of when somebody says Cleveland is Drew Carry and the Browns.

>>3990542
Its the nicest place to get robbed in America!

>>3990541
there are plenty of white people working downtown still, they come in from the suburbs though. in the last 5 years there have been a slight increase of nice downtown apartments but its not much, the west side suburb is nicer but it feels like another city sometimes

>>3990550
there are a few mixed areas like some of the 'heights' areas, these areas have some of the hightest black on white crime rates in the usa. The rest is mostly separated

a lof of foreigners come here for college and hospital work and end up getting mugged and raped cause they dont know anything, theyve been told to trust black people. There are good black people but east cleveland isnt the palce to look for them.

Trust me Im not even exaggerating these stories. Ive been there with him to help him teach. Its hell on earth. Plenty of people move here thinking blacks arent that bad then in 5 years they are racists. If you are white and walking in the wrong area you WILL be attacked. I am probably fairly racist myself, but there are good kids in there and they have no chance.

That shit is why I feel no guilt over my 'privilege' as I grew up broke as shit, made wise investments and now I make enough money to make a sultan puke.

These shitstains and trash have no excuse and I feel absolutely fine with ripping them off.

>>3990617

but back to the city itself

There are monuments everywhere from a bygone area. Its the closest thing to post apocalyptic you will find in usa. My dad grew up in colllinwood (not grovewood you misnamed assholes) during desegregation. The national guard was called in to stop the riots.

you know what they dont tell you in school? many of the blacks there didnt want desegregation either. it was pushed on the city folk by suburban whites who lived far away from their.

Collinwood was a giant little italy, the government did a thing called block busting (having a fake white family buy a house then selling it to black to encourage mixing) once this happened the house value dropped like a brick. Remember this was a time when men worked 10 hours a day in factories and put all their money in their house, so when their value went from $35,000 to 1$ (there are places in cleveland where you could buy a house for a dollar as long as you promise to live there) they lost EVERYTHING and had no education. They were forced to take loans and move to the suburbs and die poor.

A few mafia owned places still remain in collinwood, no im not guessing, I know.

then there is murry hill which is shileded from the ghetto by a cemetary, colleges and hospitals, its our only real little italy and its very tiny. Nido italia and maxis have excellent food without breaking the bank. Maxis is owned by jober (sp?) french chef and all around great guy, him and his other bro from france do all the cooking. Best bang for buck meal in cleveland imo, their calamari is the stuff of dreams

TGI Fridays.
Let me tell you something about TGI Fridays.
TGI Fridays is a bleak and horrid place, where flavor and sanity go to die. The glazed eyes of plastic taxidermy heads looking down upon you through their blue blocker sunglasses as if to chant "memento Mori." With each horrid, unfeeling gaze. The waiters are but shells of what once may have been called men, driven to giggling lunacy, with grins plastered across their eerily waxy faces. Should the mention of a birth date even be mentioned in passing, they will descend upon you like a pack of wild jackals, clapping and chanting like the participants in some mad ritual for a god too foul to conceive.

Beware, my son, any restauraunt bearing the T.G.I, flee as far as you can, seek refuge in any other eatery, but let not the fridays take you, for there is a death, my son, a death not of the body, but of the soul.
A death I would not wish upon my worst enemy.

I feel no guilt at all. The route to saving them involves stopping feeding their suffering. Im not kidding about the government scam of the school, TIPS was shut down when they were caught but the head guys probably made off with millions. Its easy to get grants when you teach ghetto kids, they you just spend the money as you see fit, hire a buddy and pay him 3x the going rate and he gives you a kickback; its piss easy.

and people think these kids dont know the nature of the crimes they commit, but actually most of the thug boys can recite to you how many years you get for 'dis o dat', they judge their actons by the risk and how long the sentence is.

let me tell you about the BEST meal EXPERIENCE in cleveland. No, youve never been there and you might not be able to go.

>>3990667
There is no sign
there is no website

one old jewish schvitz (steamhouse) remains in the ghetto. Old building bricked up windows, security cams. Old jews and plenty of russians (russian mob growing in #s in parma) and Ukraines go there.

You have to know where it is, you have to know the password (be white and have a cigar in your mouth), you have to follow the only rule; no assholes.

A black guy in a red lincoln mark VIII waits in the parkinglot with a shotgun and a pistol or two, he never goes inside. Im told his name is leroy, he looks about 40. He guards the place and no blacks ever go in. They pay him very well. you go in and upstairs and talk to mark or the other guy whos name I forget. its rundown inside but its clean enough. You can order a steak, their sizes are big, huge, and fucking massive. Lots of garlic. Fresh vegetables and pickles they made themselves. You can byob and food. You get a towel and put your shit in the locker, no cellphones. pictures of arial sharom (sp?) and patton pissing in the rhine on the wall. dimly lit resting/massage room (no sex acts dont ask they will kick your ass; no women allowed anyway) then downstairs there are showers and a steam room. You will see a lot of naked white men old and young so be sure thats not going to wierd you out, no fags allowed so everyone is comfortable. After the steam you can lay on the marble benches or jump in the freezing cold pool. Then go eat tons of food and drink. Its paradise on earth and the only reason it can exist is cause its a 'private club' which was grandfathered in and they dont advertise.

Clevelandbro have you ever considered moving to a different area or city? I can understand if you are staying there because family ties but everything about the place sounds absolutely foul and disgusting. You have made me very thankful that I live where I do.

That happened to me recently (sort of).

I've never been to Chipotle and wanted to try it. G and me head to the closest on late Friday evening. The stores in that strip mall all have a smoked glass exterior since they face west, and you cant really see what's going on inside. We walk in the front door and no one there and the lights are out. They forgot to lock the front door after they closed.

At many restauants there is always some item they have there that I would swipe if I got the chance, but having never eaten there I wouldn't know what to grab.

>>3990878
The perpetuation of racism on /ck/ is fueled purely by the emotionally loaded responses they cause. I have observed a few trends in terms of this subject, and one of them is that this board actually has it's own predators who pretend - I hope - to present an extremely racist mindset in hopes of finding people who care, and thus people whose feelings they can systematically hurt.

The only way to win at this game is to not play.

Lol, whut. Most downtown architecture is empty lots, converted1900s brick warehouses, and a few late-90s postmodern abominations. I actually love St. Louis for its history and all the free art, but the core of the city is practically bombed out.

>>3989035
London, i think it was Hard rock cafe or similarly named near the station.

Everyone ordered, i decided to try their carabonara.
45 minutes later, the rest of the table got their dishes, i got none.
After waiting patiently for 15 minutes i asked the waitress why my food was taking so long, she left to ask the kitchen.
After another 10-15 minutes later she walks right past our table and i somewhat less courteously call out to her and ask what the holdup is, she says she forgot to ask.
20 minutes later i get a plate of soggy spaghetti slathered in what tastes like tinned bechamel sauce with a handful of canned mushrooms on top.
Not even fucking pepper

>>3991085
To top it off, as we are about to leave the waitress calls out though the restaurant that we forgot to calculate the tip.

Her tip bought me 3 cheeseburgers at the McD across the road, sad to say that was best meal of the day.

A lot of co/ck/s lament the influx of /b/astards here, but for the most part they fizzle out quickly. The newer generation of /b/astards are /b/ereft of /b/alls.

I don't understand all the butthurt about Obama. Democrats. Even the spooks, are do-nothings. He had zero effect on me last 4 years. If next 4 go the same I'm in good shape. You fuckin haters want Dubya back? Or maybe a retarded mormon? 8 years of that shit destroyed the housing market, crippled the economy, got us involved in 2 wars, both being the longest in US history.

You fuckin retards don't understand the difference between blacks and niggers. And probably not rednecks and hillbillies. Its like night and day.

Not to make this a /pol/ thing, but the signing of the NDAA, the unending drone strikes, and the secret kill lists are actually all so totally inexcusable that the fact that anyone would vote for him is completely morally appalling. A vote for Obama is literally saying that murder is ok.

>>3990160
Ah, Venice...

Once, on my mom's birthday, we all got together and we went to Chili's for a family dinner. All was going swimmingly and then she ordered fish tacos and THERE WERE SHARDS OF PLASTIC IN IT. Now, my mom is not exactly a calm woman, and she starts hyperventilating and freaking out and then the waiter (who was new) starts freaking out because he just gave a customer plastic food and then the manager came over and we got comped for the meal. As I saw the panicked waiter walking around the restaurant I made a point to touch his arm and say "Relax, it's not your fault, you're doing fine." It wasn't really that bad of an experience, but the worst that I've had.

the worst service i ever had was when the mexican seniorita made me ask her to sugar my churro instead of instinctively knowing my churro always is asking to be sugared

>>3989046
yeah, i been there buddy

>>3989396
I'm an American. I never had that experience in Paris or in France in general. At the time I had some competency in French, enough to order food and to comprehend the waiter. When it was obvious my my accent that I was American, they preferred to speak in English. Of the two weeks I was there, I only had one bad meal, which happened to have accompanying bad service.

cleveland bro from yesterday here

While that is true and there have been some thugs that got beat up behind nido italia not long ago, the NAACP or some kind of org has -from time to time- been recruiting gangs of eight or so black kids to walk around by the alta house and the area loitering, screwing with a basketball.

When I asked my local buddies they said it was a trap by some people trying to do a story about how racist the hill is.

But I saw them there on three separate days, havent seen them in months.

but yes, for the most part you are correct. There are still guys there who will crack a niggers skull when given a chance.

To any foreigners worried by this; dont worry. Unless you are a black hoodrat in your teens twenties or thirties you will be fine. Especially if you stick to the more touristy places like prestis and the main strip. A harmless looking black lady walking down the street wouldnt get jumped and probably wouldnt get any flak. Asians are safe everywhere (as safe as it gets) Ive seen them in the afterhours bars on their own and they dont get harassed. A lot of foreign college students have apartments there.

>>3992447
There seems to be a handful of people in this thread discussing Cleveland. Is this 4chan thing just for you? are you black? why dont you go down to murry hill on a summer night around 2am dressed like a thug and walk the back alleys talking shit to people and find out for yourself.

>>3993210
It is unusual and it's so boring I've not learn anything. Literally the only thing I know about Cleveland is the phrase "Cleveland steamer" so I assume they have steam boats or something. This thread hasn't changed that. I'm not even sure what state Cleveland is in.

>>3993214
did you read the thread? The cleveland discussion has been going on for a while

People are discussing what cleveland is like for people there, not technical details if you want that try wikipedia.com

>>3993214
I knew nothing about Cleveland other than Drew Carry and the Browns before this thread. Now I know Cleveland is a cesspool of crime, poverty, blacks, dilapidation and overall shadiness. I live in Houston and the shit he said makes our worst parts of town sound like Maybury. At least folk in Texas don't usually kill each other for no reason, if somebody gets shot they usually had it coming to em. Will be avoiding Cleveland at all costs.

>>3991156
It's true. I went to a cafe outside of Lyon and the waitress was nice. I knew a bit of French from High School which was enough for me to get around. She spoke some English and I asked her if my experience in Paris was normal. She said yes, and Parisians are pretentious and rude to anyone other than Parisians.
I also had a foreign exchange student from France tell me how warm people in America are compared to France. It make me feel good when people see past our stereotypes.

I think I know that feel. I've walked into random dive bars before that were completely silent, there were maybe three people there sitting alone. The only thing served is bottled domestic beer, no music is on and the T.V. quietly drones CNN. When I walk into that I just drink my beer quickly and GTFO.

cleveland bro again

yeah the thing is there are nice areas in the city but none except some of the westside are isolated enough from the crime. The terminal tower plaza for example (the heart of the city) is where the main bus stop for RTA is so all the hoodrats wander around what should be the nicer part of downtown waiting for going to/from busses. If you want to know what these busses are like watch this video

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YeMbgjZZu_0

this shit is weekly down here.

So all public transport is like hell on earth with the exception of laketran which is a little better cause they go to suburbs.

Ive seen hookers walking around outside the terminal tower. Literally the central monument of the city and there are hookers on the street.

My good friend I was just talking to last night is cleveland heights police, he said east cleveland never has more than 3 cops on duty at any one time. Thats what a shithole it is, they dont even bother. 3 cops for one of the nations worst ghettos.

>so edgy
Why don't you do something beyond post racist drivel on a COOKING message board?

I mean publish a newsletter and use your real name if you strongly believe in something. Don't be afraid and use an online cooking msg board as your little soapbox. Man up.

>>3993330

well I dont actually believe in genetic racial superiority, and I have a lot of black friends who also hate nigger ghetto culture. So my message would be misinterpreted by simple minds like yours who dont see past the 'racists are just trying to be so edgy' to mean that im a white supremacist and my career would be ruined.

Ive been actually talking about eating experiences in cleveland because this is a thread about bad service for most of my posts though.

>>3993326

you goin to jail now

Only one I really vividly remember.

>be about 8
>road trip with parents, shit marriage, on verge of divorce but I'm just excited we're going somewhere
>stop for food, only place for miles
>at Denny's
>Fucking Denny's
>we go in, maybe 3 other tables if I remember correctly
>sit down and wait for service
>and keep waiting
>and keep fucking waiting
>finally server comes out and asks us for our drinks
>order and just as we're about to just go ahead and order our food, she leaves
>we wait for at least another 20 minutes before she comes back
>all the while, the only people on the floor are the busboys just sort of standing around
>finally get to order our food
>another 30 minutes later, get pancakes/waffles or whatever, my family is vegetarian so it wasn't that big of a deal
>everything sucks
>horribly dry everything, burnt to shit and hair all fucking in it
>tell waiter to take it back
>another 30 minutes, get food, waiter brings it out with his thumb practically in my mother's pancakes
>he licks what I fucking hope is chocolate syrup off his hand and puts it right back on her plate
>food still is awful, hair all in it, mom starts crying because of.... I don't really remember what
>try to calm her down, can't
>finally just leave, don't pay anything
>mfw as we're leaving I realized the table behind us had been there longer than we had and only just got their drinks

I have never been to a Denny's since.
Fucking christ, how can you be that terrible?

>>3990504
Mah nigga! I'm guessing you lived in Dhahran. I grew up in Ras Tanura.

>Was at a Japanese steak house type of place.
>Early Saturday before the dinner rush.
>With my wife on one end and a family with a young daughter, maybe 7 or so on the other.
>Table probably sat 8 or so.
>Doing the usual "flair" flipping the spatula, tossing shrimp in his hat, ect..
>Doing the fried rice, cooking everything nicely, whips out the egg.
>Spinning egg on the grill surface, grabs spatula, flips it into the air, catches on the back of the spatula...
>Flips it back into the air, lands on front of spatula...
>Flips it again and it lands right in that little girls lap...
>Well actually it clipped the edge of the table, so now this little girls is sitting and just slack jawed and wide eyed staring at the chef with a lap full of raw egg.
>Shit was kind of funny just cause it didn't happen to me.

The parents were upset, but not like yelling and shit. I'm pretty sure they got comped for the meal and a future free one.

Ihop
Oh man I mean it's always bad but this time, my gosh..
>About 10pm
>I'm one of two customers in there
>Wait for like 15 minutes before the waiter comes over
>"Um yeah anything you want?"
>"Well I'd like a waiter.."
>He's the waiter thank God, and takes my order
>30 minutes to make an omlette
>Another family comes in 20 minutes after my order was taken
>He comes over to basically complain how there's another group of people in here and it's why it's taking so long
>finally get my food
>eat it and pay with my credit card
>think "if it takes him more than 5 minutes to process and get my card back, I'm leaving no tip"
>takes him 10 minutes
>no tip
Man he pissed me off so much,. Never going to Ihop again because of him.

>Not in food service
>Complains about those who are

Cleveland bro, anywhere online that I can find out more interesting information about how shitty your ghetto is? I'm genuinely interested.

>It was the cook's fault
>Not the waiter's
sage because you're not even trolling.

>>3993288
You just made me remember one.
Not a necessarily bad experience because of the service, but similar circumstances to what you guys described

>be 13, school trip to DC
>extremely excited to go out of town with some friends and basically have everything paid for you
>soon realize that latter part isn't fucking accurate at all
>only restaurants we go to in the entirety of DC are Hard Rock Cafe, Chili's, Friday's, Applebees and other random bullshit
>there for an entire week
>can't even get what I want on the menu as they only offered 4 fixed items to school kids
>all of it was meat so I couldn't eat any of it (vegetarian)
>survive week by eating rice krispie treats, pringles and fig newtons with water from the convenient shop in our hotel

DC is a beautiful place though...

>captcha: teacupful washington
Weird lol

>>3993350
>and I have a lot of black friends
Sure you do.

>Guatemala with family years ago
>Tiny village in the middle of nowhere (fuck tourist traps)
>Only one restaurant in the whole village, nice outdoor patio for the dining area.
>show up, pretty crowded, must be good
>Waiter comes over, parents speak fluent spanish, order cheeseburger
>half hour later, power goes out for the entire town except for the tiny cathedral across the street, which starts up a loud ass generator and continues with even louder singing to compensate
>waiters come around and put candles on everyone's tables
>2 hours pass, waiters explain they only have a single oven
>finally get food after another half hour, fucking delicious, but doesn't taste like beef
>ask the waiter about it, he explains he doesn't know what kind of animal it is.
>whatthefuckamieating.jpg
>Like I said, parents are fluent in spanish, no language barrier, he doesn't know
>describes "a furry animal that lives in the jungle" and leaves it at that.

We came back the next night (a few hours before we were hungry) and specifically requested beef for the burgers, power went out right on cue at the same time. Luckily no parasites.

>>3993450
was it capybara or something? I know they eat those suckers.

>>3993379

well, you can look up crime stats and you can watch videos on youtube

but in defense of the city there is still
good food

great archietecture
good colleges
tremendous art museum
some nightlife in the 'wharehouse district'
great food market westside market
the westside aint too bad

other good news is the hospitals and colleges are buying up a lot of the ghetto closest to downtown and bringing in dat obama money

but they also opened up a fucking casino, its shitty compared to vegas and id never go there. As if we didnt already have too many bums.

also, see those 'hastily made cleveland tourism' videos I posted earlier

>>3993423
well I did help to run a nonprofit inner city phys ed program for about 4 years in the hood, Im kind of from cleveland. Have you been reading?

Another one, Mexico this time.
>go to tiny restaurant in the middle of town for breakfast
>waitress comes and takes our order, brings us drinks and disappears
>45 minutes go by with no one in sight
>waitress and another girl come back finally
>they regretfully explain that the chefs haven't shown up to work and neither of them know how to make pancakes or omelettes (what we had ordered)
>mom re-assures them that it isn't their fault
>mom goes to the kitchen and makes it herself
>they charge us for the food she used to cook


honestly why even open the restaurant?

>>3993373
And?

I'm no doctor, but I'd be rightly pissed off if I get misdiagnosed or ignored.

>>3993459
Guatemalan here, depending on the location you would eat capybara (Tepezcuintle). Still don't worry most meals are chicken, cow or pork. Nothing fancy here, perharps you had an "Indigena" waiter who even tho' talked spanish, really didn't knew jackshit about the language.

Korean BBQ sounds awesome, but every place around me has similar stories where the owners/waiting staff ignored the shit out of anyone not asian.
It sucks because I want to try it so bad.

There was a scene like that in the Sopranos where a waiter chases Chris and Paulie out for not tipping. You should watch it.

>>3989254
had this almost happen to me, boss wouldnt let me leave, not even for a bathroom break, until all the dish work was done. I'd been feeling queasy all day.

I "Accidentally" slashed my palm open on a knife in the water so they would let me go.

whe they refused to pay for sick leave i fucking quit, took them to court and got them to atleast payout my leave, plus all the hours of overtime.

happened tonight.

Sat down at an Italian bar and restaurant, everyone is over eighteen (Legal drinking age here)

Waiter stands angrily and disapprovingly demands ID, treats us like assholes when everyone has been nothing but polite and reasonably quiet,

The fuck man? He was still a prick the whole night when we all politely showed him ID and everyone was of age

Waiter here. I'm legitimately shit at my job, but it's the only work I can get right now.

i used to eat at a hipster restaurant that had awesome food, but they had this insane rule that the waitstaff had to memorize your order, rather than writing it down.

every fucking time, something would get screwed up. every. fucking. time.

>After a party I visited BurgerKing because 3 friends were hungry.

I know it was kinda immature,but still, how hard is it to make one burger without sauce? I even asked them how someone can be this incompetent.

>be at favorite japanese restaurant
>have nice waitress a few times, really sweet and gives free food on occasion
>accidentally forget to tip once

I feel like I'm the only one on this board from PEI. We definitely have some nice places here, but there's a few I could think of where you'd get shirt service/food.
