We were having a company dinner at a REALLY fancy place. They were advertisers in our paper. So, the chef had prepared a nice six course meal for the group.
Some colleagues are definitely more McD’s guests rather than fancy restaurants.
Three courses in, here comes a steak and gourmet fries to garnish. Colleague goes hog wild, dumps a bunch of fries on his plate and waves over the waitress. “Hey, do you have a bottle of ketchup? For on the steak?” The look she gave him was one of utter shock. “I, uh, wow, uhm… I’ll check”.
She eventually came back with a bottle, but I was sure the chef would have chased my colleague around with a kitchen knife if he’d heard of the request. That dude was intense.
Steak and fries is a restaurant staple, even if you go really expensive. This place serves 200 euro plus Wagyu cuts, for reference. And it was sublime.
The fries were ‘gourmet’ fries. Basically, you get like a ramekin of fries, which are mostly meant as garnish. It’s not like a full plate of fries.
My colleague liked them so much he did ask for extra fries, which got a mild frown from the waitress.
It’s different if you’re choosing to go somewhere fancy and pay for something expensive and then negate the fanciness, but for a free work meal I’m going to give your colleague the benefit of the doubt and assume they know what they like. Don’t gatekeep food, who gives a shit what other people like?
Oh don’t get me wrong, it was wildly entertaining. I’m more of a cheap pizza guy anyway. Our other work dinners were at a local steak restaurant which was much more everyone’s vibe.
Still, it was hilarious to see someone order ketchup with a 200 euro wagyu cut, prior to having tasted the thing. (Pure perfection, best steak ever)
Well, that was the price on the menu, but not what we paid :D
As mentioned, the restaurant was one of our advertisers. We helped them plan their media campaign, did the printed menu’s, few other promotional things like that. So the owner/chef invited us to basically dine ‘at cost’ as a thank you. He also planned the six course meal for the entire group so he could cook stuff that he wanted to show off.
So basically… we got an expensive restaurant at a cheap restaurant price. Our company also had about 10 people, so it wasn’t too extravagant.
Have an extremely angry upvote. I don’t even like raw fish and this pisses me off. And I’m also craving an eel roll. Anyone know a good sushi restaurant in Minneapolis?
Experiencing this like a jump scare for the first time in TLoZ: TotK made me hit my knee really hard on the underside of my desk. That was two weeks ago, and it’s still sore. And I don’t trust trees anymore, not that they’re hard to defeat, it’s just easy to forget that enemy type exists and get jump scared all over again. I hate them.
I love how you still have to defeat them with an axe.
However if the trees get you this hard I would love to know what you thought of the game’s true terrifying jump scare enemy. I’m not mentioning them just in case you haven’t run across them yet… But I’m sure you have, right?
I avoided that thing until I found out it wasn’t an endgame enemy. It outran my first horse and saw how little damage my early bow did and I hid up on a rock. IDK how they will ever jump scare me as much as that and the Guardians, but Nintendo has some talent.
Please put an NSFW tag on this. I was on the train and when I saw this I had to start furiously masterbating. Everyone else gave me strange looks and were saying things like “what the fuck” and “call the police”. I dropped my phone and everyone around me saw this image. Now there is a whole train of men masterbating together at this one image. This is all your fault, you could have prevented this if you had just tagged this post NSFW.
It’s nice to meet another great humanitarian. People don’t realise the sacrifices we make in order to safeguard the public from accidental masturbators.
