Pictured: A crime worthy of physical retribution. We write a lot about terrible restaurant customers; it's kind of our thing. We would venture to suggest ours is somewhat of an expert opinion on this particular subject. As such, understand what it means when we say we may have actually found the worst restaurant customers in culinary history this week.
I really miss being able to not make comments on OTM...sigh. Stupid Facebook comments. (But I like being able to go to Thrillist and not worry that computer security is going to call me and tell me that I'm fired due to some of the ads here...).
Today's first story was just amazing. But I really wanted to ask a line early in the second story. "Olive Garden doesn't have side work". What, they actually PAY somebody to do that menial labor that is actually necessary to their business, instead of forcing the wait staff to stick around, unpaid, to do it? You mean that Olive Garden actually has a shred of decency? I am astonished!
The only excuse for this kind of behavior is if Demonte was an identical twin of Ted Cruz, owner of the World's Most Punchable Face ™. But I'm sure Demonte is a fine person who looks nothing like Ted.
I used to work at Benihana as a parking attendant. One night a drunk guy came in and filled up on tempura and whiskey and Kirin beer and blew chow RIGHT ON THE HIBACHI TABLE. The room was filled with steam from the contents of the guys stomach. Everyone in the room jumped up and ran for the doors screaming for their cars. It was a night to remember.
This is why I did Mother's Day brunch for my husband's family (I don't have kids or a mom anymore) (I didn't lose the kids, just never got around to them). I know where all the good throwing weapons are in the house.
Nope. Nothin' on this here gals record. Question: Does being arrested for outstanding traffic / parking tickets with numerous ignored summons and treats of legal actions and periodic increases of the total indebtedness to the fine state of Colorado that totaled more that 2,000 bucks back in 1981 disqualify me from entry into Canadia?
When I was young and foolish I took my mom to Mother's Day brunch because it seemed to be the done thing. Never again. Not just the crowded-buffet-stressed-staff thing, but atmosphere of people who don't like each other much but trying to be nice. Fraught is the word that comes to mind.
A few years ago my SO and I got dressed up went out on my birthday to a restaurant that was famous for its fancy desserts. It was a long wait, but we got a table at last. However, when the waiter came to take our order and we told him we were just going to order desserts and a bottle of champagne, his mouth puckered up till it was smaller than a butthole. Then he told us we'd have to move to the bar, because the tables were only for people who were actually buying a full meal.
We use to take the grandmas to brunch on mother's day, but that was when I was a kid and teen. A few years ago my wife and I took my mom to a mother's day brunch and not only was it too noisy to talk and crazy expensive, we're all past the point where we want to eat multiple plates of food at a sitting, making the whole exercise completely not worth it.

Last paragraph=sage advice.
Pinkham, if you're going to hang around, at least throw us a contentious recipe post once a week!
Just watched the video my God it's like they were going for recreating that one bit from Event Horizon you know that one bit
Corpsicles.
Pinkham is the bus. Yeah, I know it doesn't make any sense but it sounds authoritative

She did once say "I never tip—I don't believe in it."
Better than Chew and Screw.

Needless to say, we chose to go elsewhere.
I'm not sure if I should read that in the the voice of either Montgomery Burns or Lucille Bluth.
