Things you just don't get

I had a similar experience with a crappy chef. I was at Mortons and asked for my steak Medium and the imbeciles brought it out Blue Rare. I sent it back and they served it to me Rare.
Never again am I going back to that ****** steakhouse.

I think you read it wrong. Lasbar was applauding the chef for refusing to overcook the steak.


Anything over a med-rare is overcooked in my book.

Hmmm craving some Japanese beef tataki right now.

Exceedingly noisy, exceedingly slow fart can on the way home tonight. Flew right by him.

What's long with having a warm pink center rather than a cool pink center? Still plenty juicy and tender, but your food is actually warm all the way through.

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

specific NYC centric food item I don't get:
Black and White cookies

^the cookies can actually look really tasty, but the actual taste and texture is puzzling.
for those whom have never eaten one: its basically a half cake/cookie thing that has "vanilla" and "chocolate" frosting on it.... the bad part is that the chocolate or vanilla frosting is indistinguishable in taste. so basically you're eating a flat harder cupcake.
you can see tourists' reaction of puzzlement and disappointment while they bite into and start chewing a black and white cookie trying to figure out what the hell they paid $3-$5 for.... sadly they should've just bought a cupcake

.

You're killin me here Larry.

If it's a really ***** cut, I think medium is passable. If it's very lean, medium rare is overdone imo.

Look to the cookie, Larry, look to the cookie!

fixed that for you.


seriously though, thats why I love watching tourists after taking their first bite into the black and white cookie.

they do it because of Seinfeld and then have that confused look on their face: "what the **** is this? cake? the chocolate and vanilla frosting tastes exactly the same...is this cake?"

Yeah, they have this weird airy, almost styrofoam texture. Very strange. Not our best.
