4 signs a restaurant's food is trash

[Double Burger With Cheese]

An absurd amount of items on the menu typical means all that shyt is trash

Cheesecake Factory is a flabby and sick persons dream.

I’ve been there once and I don’t think anything on the menu was under 900 calories.

The food isn’t good. It’s just fatty and salty.

they have a whole "light" menu for dieters if you're interested. plus you gotta factor in that they serve big ass portions so maybe it's a better amount of calories if you don't eat the whole plate lol. i always leave with a box

a slice of cheescake is probably 4 servings. i be taking one or 3 bites and call it a day. i'm a fan

but to answer the OP, idk i don't have the patience to look for signs. i would go on yelp or word of mouth. then i am an expert orderer for my taste by now since i'm grown af. i know what i like on any menu that is not likely to be fukked up = wings, burger, salad lol

I agree with this.

It’s not likely a restaurant is going to have great food if the menu has 40 items on it. They’re probably microwaving most of it.

This is why I don’t like diners. I don’t think I’ve ever been to a good one. The menu is always like 5 pages of stuff. Unless you’re getting coffee and an omelet, good luck.

These are 4 signs a restaurant food is trash and overpriced.


1. Cooks wear these black gloves

2. Looks like an unfinished factory

3. Menu is a QR code

4. You see this bullshiit outside.

Maybe I'm old and flabby and out of touch, but I live in NYC and these are pretty much all the signs of a dope spot with fresh quality food in my opinion.

If I'm ever invited out to eat with someone and I see the wood paneling/brick wall abd exposed ventilation aesthetic, plus chalk board menu and shyt I know I'm bout to be eating a mean burger, fries, wings, whatever with some beer I never heard of to go with it. Fresh off the grill. Might just be a New York thing, but I trust spots like that when I'm downtown.

how does the color of the gloves factor into this?

I’m not tryna be funny…I had an edible tho and I can’t follow how the gloves being black makes a difference with what you’re saying

It's a bit of a hint that these folks don't practice e the best sanitary or cooking standards. They try to hide it with dark gloves that won't expose all the nasty residue the cooks can't be bothered to replace between meals.

It's why most hotels give you spotless white towels, sheets, rugs and everything, and no other color. Besides the fact white cloth is a bit cheaper it's also a sign that you can trust what you're getting has been thoroughly cleaned and sanitized to the core. Imagine going to a hotel that had jet black sheets, towels, and rugs instead. You'd be less sure these are absolutely clean.

Go to a restaurant with black gloves in there and you might taste a hint of some other food on yours.

That QR code menu gets me heated.

Every restaurant now having outdoor seating as well as indoor: best post-covid change.

Restaurants now expecting you to go through phone apps and their website instead of just handing you a menu: worst post-covid change.

I hate it.

In fact in this day and age I have no idea why any restaurant wouldn't save their employees the extra energy walking across every table, save customers the time of waiting on someone, and just invest in table top tablets and an electronic menu system like we've seen at every big chain bar restaurant since before covid. It cant be that expensive in 2023. Makes no sense to me.

You know we love our pizza in NYC and this is especially true for Pizza-Italian spots here. If the spot only serves pizza pies, salad, maybe breadsticks, and drinks. No slices allowed. You know this about to be the freshest set of well crafted pizza you gonna get in town.

If the place got pizza, gyros, tacos, buffalo wings, halal food, hot dogs, and cheeseburgers all under one roof, dont care how much everyone on the block swear "they pizza mad good," you're eating cafeteria food.

Why?

Facts and facts. I went to this brunch spot with what looked like an all butch lesbian cast and the food was banging. Had me in there seeing if they wanted to play football in the parking lot after to work off the calories.

The only exception to the white people rule is breweries imo. I went to one brewery and the food was slapping even though it was white folks in the kitchen.

Facts. Dont sleep on them afterwork hipster spots. Don't sleep on Lauren Rikowski at work when she invite you. Miss out on some exquisite Ales and top shelf cheese.



Cactastic Irish bars on the other hand



Dry ass fries, stiff burgers. Boring ass people only talking to their co-worker. No DJ. Top 40 pop shyt playing. No dancing.



If it ain't playoffs time I can't stand them spots.

When the bathroom looks like this..

First rule of eating out is to check out the bathroom first..only a savage orders a meal without first assessing the lavatories.

Signs of a trash ass restaurant:

1. Only skinny people in there. If there ain't no fat people in there it ain't hittin right

2. Only white people in there. If it's a place with a decent population of minorities and all you see is white in there? That shyt ain't seasoned right

3. Wait staff is all young attractive women. If the wait staff are only under 25 and they look good and this restaurant ain't hooters then they management ain't hiring off skills so service gonna be ass

4. You bring it up as a spot to eat to yo bbw and she look at you like you crazy

I know this one local spot that got the nastiest bathroom you'll ever see. It's about the size of two closets. One dirty urinal, one broken toilet and one chipped up sink all cramped in a lil dirty space. 3 second graffiti all over the walls.

They Calamari and Burgers is the bomb tho.
