Took a customer out to lunch today at a place down the street from our office. He wanted to come by and say goodbye to all of the ladies in customer service. Great guy. I somehow misplaced the receipt several hours later so I went back to the joint to see if they could print me another copy. I normally wouldn't care but I have new bosses to impress and stuff plus I actually get reimbursed plus there were only three other tables when I paid so I figured it wouldn't be a big deal. Manager was a total ****. "How am I supposed to know when you paid?! How am I supposed to know what cc it was on?!!". I told him it was at 12:40 because I looked at my phone when I paid and handed him my cc. The manager was about 32 years old and his last name is Blow. It took every ounce of restraint to not pop him and I've really felt like popping somebody lately.

Terrible. That sort of thing wouldn't happen at BWW or Famous Dave's.

ool

Well to be fair, day shift managers are awfully busy mid-afternoon after lunch. Your receipt carelessness caused him literally minutes from an extended smoke break.

Congrats on holding your temper though. You still have follow up plan options:

- meet him after his shift for a couple of drinks in the alley

- tell his boss that you just won't be able to bring your business and business clients to the restaurant any longer due to day manager's attitude

There were a total of 4 tables including ours, when I went back there was one table. Our waitress was standing behind the bar playing on her iPhone. There was nothing busy about the place. I don't give a #### to call a manager. I just wanted to punch him in his souless face.

Our waitress, whom I originally asked, nicely explaining I'm an idiot and apparently can't hold onto a receipt for a couple of hours, was very nice. And cute. Her name was Destiney. No shtick.

He's got a boss and that's the guy you have to call. What a chode.

Kurtis?

He wasn't nearly as cool as Kurtis. This guy is a ginger to boot.

Yeah, I'm sure we're hearing the whole story here. I'm guessing you were entitled and/or rude to begin with.

Sorry about the ginger shot, GB. He had this cheesy beard and mustache that made him look like he was in the 7th grade.

 

[bostonfred]

A ginger shot sounds like something you get at Starbucks. From an effete redhead batista named joseph.

Somebody spill the beans on Babe. I'm sad for him.

Spilling the beans on babe seems like the kind of thing that happens at Starbucks. From a clumsy but charming cashier named Kenneth.

Are you sure that wasn't Ray Charles?

Starbucks offers watered down juice, they call it a Refresher. But if a literacy and hygenically challenged customer named klompitt offers you his watered down juice to the delight of his awkward but charming adult nephew, trust me, don't take it.

Speaking of food... Anyone have a good recipe for crab cakes? Gonna do filets and crab cakes for the gf on Valentine's Day

I'm a day behind. If no one else answers by the time i catch up, i will.

Buy two tubs of claw crab meat, one of lump and one of jumbo lump.

Dump the claw tubs into a bowl and pick out all the pieces of shell. Then do it again because you missed some.

Fine dice a couple of bell peppers (use different colors) and an onion and a head of garlic. Saute until soft, then set aside to cool. I usually add some fresh roasted corn as well, I like the sweetness it adds, but that's optional.

When cooled, add to the bowl of claw crab meat and mix with a couple of beaten eggs, some mayonaise, dijon mustard, salt and bread crumbs (or cooked rice if you want to avoid wheat.) A lot of people add seasonings here, but because crab has such delicate flavor, I prefer to only use salt. Old Bay is tempting, but can really overpower and crab tastes far better than Old Bay.

Clean the lump crab meat and gently fold into the mix.

Clean the jumbo lump very carefully, keeping the big pieces as intact as possible and very gently fold them into the mix keeping them as big and unbroken as possible.

Make into patties/cakes (not paddiecakes)

Fry in clarified butter. Sometimes, I'll dredge them in some panko first for extra crispiness, but not required.

Make lots. They freeze really well and will last a couple months at 0 degrees

Notes- Claw meat has more flavor, but the jumbo lump is what people see as the flavor. It also costs 3x as much.

The final product should be at least 70-80% crab

A really good simple sauce- One cup mayo, 2 T Cajun Chef or other bottled hot sauce, juice of one lime.
