And no, I did not serve it.
For context I work in a town with a lot of privileged people. Many people slap a red vest on their lap dog and call it a service animal.
FOH never says no to anyone.
I say no daily.
My grill cook is terrible with english and my spanish isn't great, so it took a few minutes to explain why not to drop the burger.
We all had a good laugh afterwards.

We serve a burger to some lady who brings her dog in somewhat often and one time they sent it back for not being the right temp 😂😂😂 that dude will never live that down
What? Just make the damn burger. Sheesh.
Meh, fairly normal. I know humans who double their order and eat out a lot. Giving half to their dog. I would t feed my dog McDonald’s everyday… but merica
And I’m over here working on a dog menu for patio season. If people want to pay restaurant prices to feed their dog, I will absolutely have a set of pie tins to feed dogs.
Why do some cooks take shit so personally, they want a burger for their dog, what’s the big deal ?
The fucksamatter with you? A good laugh?
Sounds like you think you’re privileged, too.
You always drop a burger for a dog. The fucking dog is probably the only one in your place worth cooking for. You’re not in your small town with a paisa for grill, wowing Michelin stars onto your walls, and James Beard awards falling off your plates. You can barely affect your FOH. Only thing you’re doing is not making an extra 10 bucks for your place or whatever the fuck you charge for it, and having a “good laugh” about it.
If you have a fucking kids menu in the place you cook, chances are you ain’t pulling any awards, or changing any lives with what you do, or don’t do with food.
Serve the fuckin’ dog.
I don’t think I’ve ever downvoted anything on Reddit, but holy shit is this one testing me.
These entitled asshats feel like the cooking gods gave them the authority to decide who gets food and who doesnt. Chit prints, confirm its correct and get to cooking. The concept is not difficult to understand.
Same goes for the knuckle draggers who take issue with how people choose to eat their food; Well Done, Ketchup/Ranch, etc. Be grateful that someone is coming into your place of business and spending money so that your ass gets a paycheck. Grow the fuck up
Our POS has a spot just for dog proteins. Burgers/steaks/chicken and the occasional salmon. Just spray and don’t add seasoning, it’s easier than other shit.
I don’t understand the problem? They are willing to pay full price for it, and you are in a place that sells kids burgers. End of discussion. Why you getting pretentious about it?
If it was a kid who wants a well done burnt piece of shit, would you refuse to make it? If you don’t like the customers preference do you refuse them service? If yes, then fuck you weirdo and get off your high horse. If no, then what difference does it make if it’s for a dog, get over yourself. If anything it will make your life easier as it’s highly improbable the dog will send it back for being under or overcooked or any other reason lol
We have a dog patty button
I’ve been in multiple chef roles over ten years. We get paid to put the fries in the bag. Just give the dog a burger. This does nothing for anyone except take profit away from your business, piss off your guests and foh.
Maybe set aside your unnecessary anger and talk to management and staff about your particular issues, although, I don’t see any issue here beside you.
I’m hardly a privileged person. I used to stop at Wendy’s and get a plain burger patty for my pooch, who rode with me. It made him very happy.
Damn maybe its the dogs birthday or had surgery or something.
Fuck it doesn’t even matter.
If they order some chef special, Foie Gras or like a Beef Wellington for the dog at a Michelin Star or James Beard award winning restaurant, yeah thats an insult to the chef and all the staff.
Your plain ass burger isn’t an insult to your cooking level because it’s for a dog. It’s just a burger patty man.
I rarely say this, but if you can’t have a little empathy for another creature to enjoy food, then you shouldn’t be a chef.
Abhorrent attitude to have.

Edit: Spelling
Had a regular come in two or three times a week and she always added four plain patties, cooked medium for her dog. Like $16 after tax added every order.
I’ve seen it plenty of times. I just think why not get your best friend a meal while you are also enjoying your meal. they always paid for it.
Customer: “I will pay you money”
OP: “woah relax there partner. I only accept money on my terms”
Im curious as to why you couldn’t just make the dog a burger no bun no salt. It’s basically the easiest ticket any of us will see all weekend. They paid full price for a burger and yall saved a buncha money on that order. The restaurant doing well is what pays your bills. Sure the owners make more than us, but a successful kitchen can afford to pay employees instead of wondering if the checks gonna bounce this week. Idk man being shitty about orders i understand sort of. But an order like this? Throw a patty on the flat for 10 minutes or so and send it out. Easy as fuck. What’s the problem here?
I get the same thing. I make it everytime. If they want to spend $21 to feed their dog, go for it.
Fine dinning steakhouse here. We sell petite 6oz filets unseasoned frequently for $49 for dog owners. What’s more important? Your pride and ego or satisfied guest, happy doggies and a fat bottom line?
Bro stfu and cook the burger patty jfc
Just put the fries in the bag
Thank goodness you stopped this madness! Can you imagine a dog eating some ground beef?!
But seriously, out restaurant cooks plain patties for dogs all the time and those customers tip well. What’s the big deal? Are you burgers made from filet mignon?
Calm down, Francis.
And then find a new industry to work in.
Yeahhhhhh that’s a big no for me dawg. Just make the burger. We recently had a dog come in to get a burger before it was put down. Probably a pretty good burger for that dog. Glad to have made it. Glad to have comped it too.
Sorry, you were saying — they are the privileged ones?
Relax dude. It’s not. that. deep.
What did the manager say? I understand why a restaurant wouldn’t want to serve a dog food in the middle of the dining room, but if they approved it then they approved it. It’s not really your concern.
They tell you to cook a burger, cook a burger. Get over yourself.
Op sounds like a prick. Every place around me with a patio will cook plain unseasoned patties for dogs.
Dude, the dog is the only mf in the place that’ll probably respect your cooking, and that aside, you don’t want someone giving your store money in exchange for moving a patty from the grill to a plate? Like, seriously, do your shaft and balls fit perfectly in your mouth, or is there a lot of space because of the repetition; how up yourself do you have to be to posture yourself so high up above cooking for a dog it’s a point of laughter?
This is probably the easiest ticket you had to fire all night, and you said no cause your ego was hurt? I literally can’t see why you’d say no other than thinking you’re “better” than cooking for a dog, just give the little dude his plain burger patty and stop being an uptight dickhead.
We have a back patio for dining at my restaurant, we get plenty of dogs out there on nice days and we definitely get these ordered
We have a secret menu item called dog patty. No seasoning, just plain 1/2# meat. Costs the same as adding a patty to a burger, which iirc is $4 or 5
I always stick a shard of bacon into dog burgers as a garnish.
Who hates dogs? Feed the good boy Chef
I see this farely often. Nothing unusual
St. Petersburg FL here. Almost every joint has something for dogs. Water bowls outside, treat jars, the works. It’s fine, you still get paid the same.
OP probably watches Watership Down as a comedy
Op fucking sucks. Who cares. Cook a patty for the dog. Jfc.
I really dont see the issue here.
Your server put in a weird order, had the courtesy to tell you why.
It’s an opportunity to drop that one patty that weirdly shaped or got squashed in the fridge.
This will be the easiest shit you gotta do all day.
They’re not asking for it ‘medium-well-rare’, its not coming back.
Just drop the burger on the grill and feed the damn dog.
