AlligatorBlizzard, 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?
ObviouslyNotBanana, Don’t know any sushi place in Minneapolis that has ketchup 0/10
SpaceNoodle, I think I knew one in 2003
aeronmelon, This person is going to be on the news some day, sliced in half by a katana-wielding chef.
FinishingDutch, (edited ) I’ve seen this in real life.
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.
Mr_Blott, REALLY fancy place
Steak and fries
🤨
devious, There are “fancy” (and of course expensive) places that specialise in high end cuts of meat - that serve fries as a standard side option.
FinishingDutch, 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.
smeg, 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?
FinishingDutch, 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)
smeg, €200 for a single steak, paid for by the company? Man, that is a whole order of magnitude fancier than I was expecting!
FinishingDutch, (edited ) 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.
smeg, Fair, that makes sense. I still admire the chaos monkey energy of your ketchup colleague though!
drbluefall, This one does not spark joy.
VikingHippie, Right you are, Marie Condiment!
Annoyed_Crabby,
Sludgehammer, Meh…
I mean most sweet and sour sauces are primarily a fruit, sugar, vinegar and a thickener… which pretty similar to ketchup. And those are considered okay to put on sushi.
AFKBRBChocolate, (edited ) Sweet and sour sauce? No.
ObviouslyNotBanana, I would honestly put ketchup in sushi before I put sweet and sour sauce in there. And I wouldn’t.
AFKBRBChocolate, For a lot of sushi, the chefs will be disappointed in you even for putting soy sauce on it. They craft it to have a specific combination of flavors, and strong sauces just obliterate them.
ObviouslyNotBanana, (edited ) Yeah. If it’s served with soy sauce you use it, if not you assume it’s not needed.
DragonTypeWyvern, Yeah, the complex and mercurial task of combining fish and carbs. The masters of the palate.
They studied 10k hours to learn how to pick the raw fish with just the right amount of parasites, for flavor and crunch!
ThisIsAManWhoKnowsHowToGling, Honestly there are certain sushis I will never put soy sauce on.
tigeruppercut, A regular tare sauce has sugar in it, and you can find the sweeter version (amadare) at sushi places. However, it’s really only used for the eel (anago).
But I mean they make a ketchup spaghetti in Japan so if someone wants to talk about fucking with traditional dishes…
triclops6, And KFC Daddy is Santa there… They like to mix it up

Ghyste, Same. At least we have Futurama back.
JackFrostNCola, Are you dropping off some dipping custard? How thoughtful
ObviouslyNotBanana, I think it would go well with mango ice cream
iAvicenna, also works with pizza restaurants in Italy
spicytuna62, And steakhouses in Texas also love this trick!
random_character_a, Thats a take away box. You’re safely at home and not in a public place, soon to be beaten to death.
ObviouslyNotBanana, I just like eating from a takeaway box. The environmental impact makes me happy inside.
FangedWyvern42, The verdict is death.
