I just watched the episode of a Cook’s tour where AB is yelling about “no butter and extra bearnaise” and this is the same energy

Actually one of my favorite spots has a potato shell omelette. It’s basically a thin hashbrown in place of the eggs. For the traditionalists, sure, it’s not a true omelette but it fucking slaps.

Jerry Seinfeld was doing a show in town and came by for brunch at a restaurant I was working. Someone in his party asked for the seafood omelette without eggs. I couldn’t believe it because it was exactly a bit you’d see on Seinfeld. I tried not to be too loud laughing about it just plating up the seafood and bechamel filling because the head chef was a bit uptight. But this joke writes itself.

Working FOH,
C: “can I have a salad with no lettuce please?”
Me: “😐…what?”
C: “a salad with no lettuce. And blue cheese dressing please. I’ve had it here before!”
Me, to myself: He’s being nice so sure, let’s see where this goes. This sounds like something Jenn’s had to deal with before, she’s seen everything.
I asked Jenn, was correct that she’d had him as a customer before, and it turned out the correct answer to “a salad with no lettuce” is a regular salad bowl FILLED with cherry tomatoes, with red onions, cucumbers, cheese, and croutons on top, dressing on the side. Dude loved it.
ETA: this was at Red Lobster

It’s scary…I worked with people like this…both FOH and BOH
It’s like a fly failing to get out through the open window and hitting the glass instead… repeatedly….

I’ll never forget the ticket in the middle of Mother’s Day brunch that made me think of this clip.
Side of bacon- modified “no pork belly please.”
(We only had one kind of bacon- pork belly we cured and smoked ourselves.)

I work in sushi, one time I got a customer that said she was vegan, soy/dairy free, a handful of things I don’t remember…
What I wanted to say is “then why did you come here?”. “Rice, you can have rice”

My first serving gig was a restaurant in a brand new ballpark. I had originally applied to be a concession attendant but because I was could talk to people well they placed me at their high end restaurant. I was 20 years old and my first ever customers came in and said they were going to start off with some cocktails. I went and punched in the order and came back with shrimp cocktails. They looked and me and said “we want drink cocktails not shrimp cocktails”
That day I learned that another word for a mixed drink is a cocktail.

Lmao.. I know it’s not the same, but this sorta reminds me of the other night, waitress kept ringing in the same dish and emphasizing “No Tomatoes” told her each time there are no tomatoes to begin with. I guess it just wasn’t clicking.
He could always just fry up some tomato’s, cheese, onions, spinach, and anything else that goes into an omelette and just up charge him for the ingredients lol

This is my one and only absolute favourite short clip to do with food and kitchens that I absolutely love – it lives rent free in my head

I’ve seen it a hundred times but it gets me every time.
You can leave the plate.

Great clip. Tried watching the show but it wasn’t quite as enthralling (for me, anyway) as this one scene.
Kiki, leave the pla-TE.

I once had a guy get mad at me because he wanted “a plain omelette, no cheese or anything else, except stir it around in the pan when it’s cooking so it’s broken up.”
I looked at him and said, “Soooo… you want scrambled eggs?” Man he was pissed lol.
“Did I SAY I wanted scrambled eggs?! I told you I wanted a plain omelette that’s stirred while cooking so it’s not one big piece.”
Alright man, whatever you say lol. He got scrambled eggs. 😂

I was at a phở restaurant and asked if they had vegan broth options and what they put in the broth. The waitress asked, “What’s broth?” 🥺

I once had a lady call me out to the dining room to complement the salmon I cooked. She said she ordered the trout and got salmon, but it was all right because it was so delicious she didn’t mind getting the wrong fish.
We don’t serve salmon. We didn’t even have it in the restaurant. We only served rainbow trout.
But she was “raised in the northwest” and “knows salmon when she sees it.”
. Another time a customer said our red chile sauce was just tabasco sauce. Excuse me that is authentic New Mexico red chile. That was probably the most insulting message that ever made its way back to the kitchen. He was so smug too, like he had cleverly exposed our lies.
At some point it’s just not worth your time arguing with the customers.

It’s like ptsd for me. I honestly don’t understand what a person would expect when ordering an eggless omelet (tofu omelet maybe?). And how the question of cooking it with whole eggs or only whites can fix the situation.

Once had a lady ask if the seedless grapes were seedless… I had a puzzled look on my face and even looked around to see if anyone put her up to it.
Nope!
She was serious…

I was messing with a waitress, and i asked for chicken fried rice minus rice. The waitress had a bit of a short circuit right there until I told her I was just messing with her she gave me a small laugh , and I smacked me one told me to behave
