Excuse Me Are You Retarded?

So I was at a restaurant and I overheard someone ask their waiter to have the kitchen "Make it like the picture, if it doesn't come like the picture I'm going to send it back. My head almost hit the table. Are you even joking? What a redneck piece of shit thing to say. I almost asked the lady "Excuse me are you retarded?" but I bit my tongue instead. When you eat at a chain restaurant, well, any restaurant but especially these billion dollar companies, NONE of the food that comes out of the kitchen looks like the picture. DO YOU KNOW WHY?? Because the pictures of food you see have almost as much makeup on them as the actors in the commercials. Cooks and makeup artists spend HOURS of planning to make THE PERFECT plate for a commercial or advertisement. That's the point, they lure you in with the most amazing looking food and then you get something that looks close.

Subway is very guilty of this. McDonald's as well, their food looks AMAZING on the commercials and what you get at the local stores is a pile of crap.

So I ask you, the reader, do you enjoy spit in your food? Cause requesting the kitchen to "make it like the picture" is a good wait to get the extra added ingredients.

Rant over.

    So what exactly does retarded have to do with it. My daughter has special needs. She wouldn't do half the ignorant things people like you attribute to being retarded. Shameful.

    It's true. Food RARELY looks as good on the plate as it does in the pictures. When I am lucky enough to get a deliciously presented meal, I usually take a picture of it on my phone and review it on my blog.

    Most of the food I cook tastes good...but my presentation stinks. My delicious pumpkin pancakes? I call them pumpkin uglies.

    Egads! retarded has everything to do with it! hmshore, you said it when you said your daughter isn't retarded! Your daughter has special needs, and old school retarded versus new school retarded are TWO different things. I don't think any offense should have been taken in the context of this blog, as the patron was clearly ignorant and the writer painted the true picture of the end result from the kitchen. Has anyone every seen that horrible movie "Waiting" with Dane Cook? (throws up a little here) bleh

    Isn't liberal mormon an oxymoron? You should just become ex-mormon and get it over with. I was raised lds and am now ex-mormon. I'm so much happier since I left the church.
