Dumb & Dumber: Overheard in a restaurant today.

[trof]

Miz t. and I were over in Pensacola today and stopped for lunch at a nice little bistro.
As I was on the way to the men's room I overheard this:

Customer: "So...what's the difference between the vinaigrette and the blue cheese vinaigrette?"
Waiter: "Um...well...the blue cheese vinaigrette has blue cheese in it and the other one doesn't."

I'm guessing he was a Bush** supporter.

1. Hahahaha!!

:rofl:

What a dumb question!!!

[rug]

2. What's the difference between vinegar and vinaigrette?

3. Seasonings

4. A vinaigrette is a basic sauce, usually used as a salad dressing.

A vinaigrette is a basic sauce, usually used as a salad dressing, that can be made from two or three simple ingredients in about 3 minutes. Best of all, it can be expanded on in infinite ways.

Ingredients:
1 tbsp. Dijon mustard
1/4 c. balsamic vinegar
salt and pepper
3/4 to 1 c. olive oil
Steps:
1. Remember that the basic ratio for vinaigrette is one part vinegar to three or four parts oil. Use whatever ratio tastes right to you, though; some people like significantly more vinegar, some less.

2. Use the highest-quality ingredients you can. (Image 1)

3. Whisk the mustard and vinegar together in a medium bowl. (Image 2)

4. Season lightly with salt and pepper.

5. Continue whisking the vinegar/mustard mixture and drizzle in the oil in a thin steady stream. (Image 3)

6. Start tasting the mixture when about half of the oil has been incorporated. You may need to add some more salt and pepper.

7. Keep whisking in oil until the vinaigrette tastes right to you. It should taste smooth and be slightly tart. If it's too sour, keep whisking in oil.

5. Thank you. (And I'm not rooting for Lieberman.)

6. A friend once was fired...

...from the local Cheddars vomitorium for kinda doing the same thing...

An approximately 18 year-old on a date with her boyfriend asked him (the waiter), "What's in your Chicken Caesar Salad?"

Now, this is at 12:45 during the heaviest lunch crush. He replies (maybe with a slight rolling of the eyes), "Well, the salad is made of lettuce, like salads often are. Then, they put chicken on it. FInally, a Caesar dressing is poured on top."

Her BF didn't "like his 'tude," complained, and my friend was fired.

Now, I worked in restaurants for 17 years, and if I had a nickel for everytime I asked "How would you like that prepared?" and was greeted with a smirking "On a stove" I'd be rich.

And probably still serving time for assault.

8. LOL. Catch this story.

I took my daughter and her friend out to lunch one day and they wanted to go to TGIFridays.

Friend orders a burger, the waitress asks how she would like it prepared and the friend pauses, looks at the ceiling apparently thinking about the question, and then looks back at the waitress and replies. "Good".

I. Kid. You. Not.

We are still rolling.

And, welcome to DU.

11. I've got one like that...

When I was a little girl, my parents would take us to this restaurant they liked for dinner fairly often. I love roast beef and would always order prime rib. My parents approved. One day the waitress asked "How do you like your roast beef?" I answered "fine", not understanding that she was inquiring as to what degree of cooked I wanted it. The answer, of course, was "rare".

At one point, the restaurant owner wanted to put me in the window because even at age 6 or 7, I could pack the food away. And this was not the child's portion.

Another time, when I was a bit older (maybe 10 or 20), I was taken there by a friend's grandmother with the friend. I put in my order and the grandmother told the waitress to bring us kids the child's portion. The waitress, who I knew, rolled her eyes in sympathy at me.

9. My six-year-old nephew once told me in an authoritative manner...

(you know, in the way that only six-year-olds can) that the only difference between Braunschweiger and liverwurst was the the accent. :rofl:

Think Bush* supporters have a serious case of arrested development?

10. I once went to a local diner with a friend.

Friend orders a Reuben sandwich, and the waitress replies, "What's a Reuben?" Friend looks at me with wide eyes, then back at the waitress.

"How do you not know what a Reuben is? Not only is it on the menu, but it's a very common sandwich." Waitress raises an eyebrow at friend and replies, "Hey, I just work here."

:wow:
