That reminds me of a time I went with a group to a 5-star steak house and one of the people asked for steak sauce. I was so embarrassed. Of course, the chef comes out. There's just certain things you don't do. One of them is ask for steak sauce in a nice restaurant...


If you're paying for a steak anywhere, let alone a pricey 5 star restaurant, you can ask for and hopefully politely receive all the condiments you like. How arrogant and intimidating to come out and confront paying customers! But then I guess when people are willing to pay that much for a steak you could get for a fraction of the price elsewhere, snobbish and rude treatment is expected along with that price tag. I'm afraid that chef wouldn't have gotten the reaction he must've wanted if I were that customer But then, I wouldn't be paying those inflated prices to begin with.....luci


I was raised with the belief that there is a proper etiquette at certain places. An excellent steak (and it was excellent) shouldn't need anything other than a knife and fork, IMO. It's considered an insult to the chef - it says to him/her that it's not tasty enough. Many of those chefs have worked extremely hard to get where they are. Most people I know, regardless of their job, don't like being told they're not good at it. An artist wouldn't be happy if you picked up a paintbrush and started "improving" his painting. Some chefs consider their dishes as art.

I personally don't see it as arrogant, but I also prefer steak without sauce and eating at places with "inflated prices". To each their own.

As for restaurants, I believe you have a right to have steak or anything YOUR way.

If a server or chef says anything to me I remind them that the customer is always right.

no, tomato sauce here is same as ketchup.
tomato sauce in the states is as spaghetti bollainaise, not a white sauce based sauce like carbonarra

YEARS later I still refuse to even look at an Applebees for too long because I was told by a very rude waitress AND the manager on duty that it's 'company policy' to insist that paying customers cannot share an entree. An ENTREE. You know... the thing that everyone seems to pitch in for and share at every other place BUT Applebees before they order their own main dish?
That's like going to McDonald's and being told that everyone in the vehicle has to order a french fry because no one is allowed to share.

Condiment etiquette... Would that constitute a white people problem...? I really don't have time for it.
No time at all...

*Thanks Angel, for clearing up the ketchup thing. I thought they were the same but wasn't sure.*

I have become very tempted to respond, "well then, bluntly speaking, let me call you an insensitive ass and allow you to watch my backside as I walk away." lol

There is no rule that says we "have to" tell someone how much they suck.

I don't guess it would be a problem at all unless people made it one.
Everyone is different.
I wouldn't say snobbish either. I would say there are just differences. Nothing better or worse, just differences.

I would tell them how grateful I am they went out of their way to make a remarkable meal for me, and how much I enjoyed it.

That's not quite the same as saying, "You're a fabulous cook, and everything was delicious," and it's being kind and gracious.


Seconded.

Usually if someone close made a meal for me, and it's bad, it's usually okay to feedback about that. And when I invite close friends over, I welcome feedback too. I mean there is a simple thing my friends do not appreciate. I love my pasta super duper al dente, even crunchy, that's just how I like it, while they love it soggy. So..., they'll never like my pasta even though I think it's awesome, and it's no biggy. Next time they come over, I make it soggy for them.

But different if I was guest in a house of acquaintances, I'd not give any feedback on the food unless opinion asked. But..., thanking them for the meal is the standard.

Okay, that does make more sense now. I always forget about macaroni salad until picnic time. I don't know why, but that's the only time I make it.

This right here would have actually made me laugh. If you're going to insult my cooking, at least make a joke.

Regarding ketchup on pasta, I have one worse.

I host Latin American minor league ballplayers every summer. Some of them put mayo on pasta.

My Latino kids always want mayo for their corn too.
