Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

I feel this is most apt for paranoia

I think food snobbery can take a lot of different forms. Take BBQ, for example. My work’s taken me a lot of different places throughout the country, and the way some folks carry on about their BBQ sounds like they’re rooting for their favorite sports team. I think some of the best BBQ I’ve had was in Oakland, CA at a place called Everett and Jones.

I was almost ready to post it when I realized I’d forgotten a step. When I went to edit it, it dawned on me that there were other steps I’d skipped because- to me- they were obvious. But because I was planning on posting my recipe on THE INTERNET, I realized that people other than me and a trained chef would be reading it, so skipping steps was not an option. Some steps I drilled down on because- while technically simple- if screwed up would ruin the dish.

If it is any consolation, when most people find recipes on THE INTERNET, their expectations are extremely low

I think the snobbery side is more on the customer end than the chef end. People even get that way about bagels too. I worked in a kosher bagel shop in the Boston area growing up and we would get new yorkers all the time coming in, asking if they were as good as new york bagels. They would take a bite and say to our faces "Its very good, but not as good as new york bagels". I mean, maybe New York bagels are better, I don't particularly care one way or the other, but the attitude made me want to slap them. And my Boss had the kind of personality where he would get in screaming matches with them over that (or simply say they should probably go back to NewYork if the bagels there are that good). And it wasn't always New Yorkers. Sometimes it was local people who had been to New York, had the bagels, and really wanted us to know they were sophisticated bagel consumers

This so reminds me of this:


“It insists upon itself, Lois.”

That is hysterical

They've obviously never been to Montreal

I laughed so hard about a dude from California being mad that NY bagel shop wouldnt scoop his bagel. They told him to get out. lol

The Money Pit is a fine movie, and I will not hear people talking smack about it.

watched a launch trailer for a video game and they boldly put in that there will not be any microtransactions in the game.

Well, yes. The microtransactions are outside of the game. You just USE them in the game.

That is a pretty common request that is usually easy to accommodate (we used to do that for people). It is isn’t too bad, I tried it sometimes if I was dieting or just wanted the crunch). But getting mad or yelling at the help for not getting what you want would have gotten people tossed out at the place I worked as well. They may have had a good reason for not doing that at their shop. One cool thing I did learn working there is mustard on a salt bagel is real good
