Open Question: Wedding food menu help ?

Sunday, February 5th, 2012

Well i am getting married in 5 months and i need to sort out my food early because i am a rather fussy eater, and my fiancee isn’t. We have totally different ideas for wedding food, he wants the usually wedding food (the random posh food which only a few people actually like) and i like traditional food like burgers and chips. He says it isn’t wedding food and he wants something that you wouldn’t usually eat. So we have reached a compromise. We are sending our guests 2 different menus and they have to choose from the brides menu or the grooms menu. The starter and deserts are the same but the main meal is different.

His is the venues set wedding meal of beef and potatoes etc, But I live in the UK and my favourite restaurant is the harvester. But i don’t want a meal of the harvester menu i want the pasta dish they have in their salad cart. But this means i would have to arrange meetings with the harvester managers and possibly hire out some of their chefs, because i’m sure they wouldn’t want other chefs making their signature dish (they keep many of the recipes quite secret) But i’m not to sure how to go about this. Should i call up my local restaurant and meet with the manager or should i call the head office ?

thank you.

Open Question: Are there any restaurants that sell burgers that arent bad?

Burgers like the ones from Burger King and McDonald’s are supposedly bad for you. so is there a place where they sell good cheeseburgers that aren’t greasy and aren’t so bad for you?

Open Question: What is the name of that show?

Sunday, October 2nd, 2011

I think it was on discovery channel during green week.
It was a cooking show, and they recycled normally inedible material and turned it into a cuise fit for a restaurant.

I remember some of the things they made.

Peanut butter ball and a jelly from peanut shells and peat found in wine barrels (respectively)

Veggie burgers

and hotdogs.

any help?

Open Question: Why do Bar/Restaurant burgers taste so much better than what you can make at home?

Wednesday, August 24th, 2011

I’ve tried tons of recipe’s, and I’m a cook in a restaurant (does not make burgers). I can’t seem to figure out how to make my burger taste like the ones they make at bars and restaurants, is it the cast iron grill maybe? Grilling dust?

Open Question: What song goes like “ring a ding ding”?

Saturday, July 16th, 2011

All I know is that this song comes on every time I’m at work. I work in a restaurant where the theme is southern (like ribs, bbq, burgers kinda deal) and this song is on the play list at work and I haven’t been able to figure it out. All I know is that it sounds country but not TOO country and it has a really catchy part where it goes “ring a ding ding.. can’t…” and the first couple words are “out on the..”

Open Question: Am I crazy or is Sonic Drive In amazing?

Wednesday, July 13th, 2011

I had a foot long hot dog, large tater tots and pop then a hot fudge sundae.

While I did intake over 100% of all my different fat, sodium, cholesterol and nearly full blown calorie intake, I was amazed.

I thought the ice cream was by far the best frozen treat from any fast food restaurant I’ve ever had, tater tots better than all fries, and hot dog better than burgers!

Luckily I didn’t eat too much besides that today. Maybe I should go eat some fruit to try and even it out.
Well to tell you the truth I eat out a lot, much more than the average American.

Sometimes I find that something cheap can still be good. If I had a choice between this and spaghetti and meatballs from a fine Italian restaurant and this, I’d probably choose the spaghetti, but I still found this meal really good. The tater tots were better than fries from any restaurant and the ice cream too! $10 deserts can have a placebo effect.

Open Question: Which Dairy Queens in New Jersey have full restaurants?

Tuesday, July 12th, 2011

Open Question: Two questions on European restaurants…?

Sunday, June 26th, 2011

1. If one orders a burger in Europe, is it generally not asked how you want it done? Went to Amsterdam and Scotland on my honeymoon in May, and in between my more adventurous culinary pursuits, I had two burgers…they never asked, and both were beyond well done when they arrived.
2. Is the wait for your check generally longer in Europe? My wife and I consistently sat there for 10-15 minutes before anyone came back to our table, and even then they looked surprised when we asked for the check. Is it standard to sit for quite awhile after finishing a meal in Europe? Just used to the States where the check generally comes very quickly…

Thanks!
To be clear - we both loved our time in Europe and will be back next year (to Amsterdam, at least). These are two minor curiosities/quibbles for an otherwise outstanding experience.
