Don't read too much into our Starbucks date, I just wanted someone to buy me a Molten Chocolate Latte.


Chefs reveal the dishes they absolutely hate you for ordering. Not that you'll stop.

Chefs and cooks are glad you're there. For the most part, they like preparing interesting and delicious foods for you to enjoy, as it's their job and you're paying their salary. But as it is with any job, there are cons, and for kitchen workers, those are the dishes that are a loathsome bore, chore, or annoyance to prepare. Some real-life cooks and chefs served up to Reddit the orders they absolutely hate to serve up.

1. This one from WhosWhosWho totally shucks.

Oysters. Place I used to work at offered 50 cent oysters on the half shell, or all you can eat for $30.

I can still hear the chit machine printing my hell. Shuck one dozen, shuck 3 dozen, shuck 12 dozen.

2. DM_Me_Tummy_Pics is going to get carpal tunnel from ice cream. Ice cream.

Ice cream motherfucking sundaes. Oh I know all of you are saying "DM_Me_Tummy_Pics, what are tlking about, it's just ice cream". NO YOU INNOCENT FOOLS!!!!!!

3. This one from KeithTheToaster really cuts.

I got 2 for ya

The fucking tomato manuri cheese salad and the crab avocado salad at Legal Seafoods

Fucking needing to cut every tomato every cucumber and cheese to order while I have 18 other tickets. Duck you!

The crab Avocado is a pain in the ads cause it requires intricate plating. AINT GOT TIME FOR THAT SHIT, its hand scooped with "Olde Fashioned" implements, ie, non-ergonomic handles, so you pretty much feel as if you're ripping tendon from bone trying to chip away at rock hard ice cream.

4. Baristathefatcatlikessnaps confirms what you probably already thought baristas think about you when you get a blended drink.

Not really a restraunt but a "popular coffee chain," frappuccinos and pour overs. Its 6am get a drip not a blended jug of sugar thats not coffee. And no i dont wanna make an individual cup of drip of your special blend cause youre special i got shit to do

5. Allow this guy to cook you food the way it is meant to be cooked. Please.

A well done burger!! Order a salad you beef hating bastards!

6. Cook mewmewflores thinks it's bad to make a Bloody Mary, but they're not the one so hungover they have to drink one, so there.

The only thing I genuinely dislike prepping is our house Bloody Mary mix.

Peel and chop a fuck load of veggies and then glare at it resentfully while it occupies one of my precious few burners for half the afternoon. Frown ruefully while straining it and pureeing it in like a dozen batches because our immersion blender has been broken for months. Grimace while mixing the liquid back in and hauling a heavy sloshing cambro half my height into the walk-in.

And - all of these are pretty deeply petty complaints that I happily accept as just part of the job in other circumstances, but for whatever reason the Bloody Mary mix has gotten fixed in my mind as the ideal point to let myself be irrationally annoyed.

Oh, and during service: fuck people who order hard poached eggs during weekend brunch. Just, no.

7. And then dalekemp had to make five more orders of them because they looked so good to everybody when they walked them through the restaurant, all sizzling and stuff.

I used to work in a restaurant where everything was cooked from fresh, the worst thing to make was probably the fajitas. Fajitas are not hard to make at all but the sheer amount of things in them, first off i have to season all the chicken and peppers and shit and then assemble a plate with wraps, guac, salsa, soured cream and cheese. Mid service that is a pain in the ass.

8. SwissGamerGuy speaks from high upon his perch, where perch is not allowed.

My dad had to make Perch fillet and it drived him crazy.

Not only did you have to dry them in a towel taking a shitload of space but you then would cook them in the most agressive oil on the planet giving your arm 3rd degree burn pimples.

Hell's kitchen pfrrtt. More like the kitchen IS hell.

9. And this chef somehow found a way to speak ill of melted cheese.

Fucking nachos. I never worked the station that made them, but they just sucked in general. They have like 20 ingredients, take up tons of space in the salamander, and they are messy as hell to make. At the place that I used to work the nachos dirtied a minimum of 9 dishes per order with melted cheese, so the dishwashers absolutely loved them too.

10. "Sweet and sour halibut" doesn't sound good to us either, trukviteroth.

At a seafood place I worked at we had sweet and sour halibut. One person had to deep fry the fish, saute had to do the sauce and veggies, rice was in the center, and the grill guy had to grill a slice of pine apple. Could be a cluster fuck on a busy night.

11. Awesomefiber474 just made enemies with about a billion old people.

Not a cook but I'm an expo for a busy restaurant and I fucking hate soup. It sloshes everywhere when I move the bowl and servers hate to run it. I would much rather do your 6 step fajitas over a bowl of soup any day. Fuck soup

12. FartsOnUnicorns hates blooming onions almost as much as your colon does.

I used to work at a place that served a deep-fried blooming onion. Basically fancier onion rings. Such a terrible, terrible dish to make. First of all, it was a pain in the ass and took a lot of time. (Roughly 5 minutes of work, and that's an eternity in kitchen time). Second, the breading method we used didn't work fantastically, and about a third of the time it just fucking didn't work and all the breading would fall off in the fryer. Then, it was too big to fit in a fryer basket, which meant it took up a whole fryer, which was pain in the ass if we wanted to fry more than two other things at the same time. And since it didn't fit in a basket, we simply dropped it into the fryer, which always felt like I was gonna burn myself. Fuck that.

13. Sandwiching this one in from LordSquid1.

Paninis, its a stupid sandwich that you toast. Go get subway, they have more options and they arnt wasting years of culinary practice to put some ham and cheese between bread.

14. You say "potato," kittenrice says a lot of nasty things about you.

My least favorite had to be potato skins.

I worked the grill at a pub and a skins order was chaos in the middle of an otherwise smooth running rush.

They weren't ordered all that often; though, one order meant at least five more would be sure to follow; so they weren't kept on the line. After retrieving them from the freezer, they went into the fryer. Once the shells were fried, they had to be filled and cooked again, this time in the oven.

It was a burger joint, (I know I just said it was a pub...think 5 Guys with a full bar) so we didn't have a proper oven on the line, but a toaster oven tucked away in the prep area, so another trip away from everything that was going on was required. After a frustratingly long time, I think it was 8 minutes, they had to be retrieved, again, and returned to the line, again, for finishing touches and plating.

Realistically, they weren't that big of a deal, but because we, obviously, weren't equipped to accommodate them, they ended up being a giant pain in the ass.

15. Orval dispels the common myth that McRibs don't emerge fully formed, cooked, and sauced from the loin of a unicorn.

The McRib. Fuck the McRib.

Cooking them is whatever, they're cooked exactly the same as the meat, on the grill. But then they get thrown into the BBQ sauce which is in a heated thing on the sandwich line.

No matter what you do, the sauce gets fucking EVERYWHERE, all over the place.

16. The worst thing about shrimp will surprise you. No, not really—Skurvee says it's the smell.

I hate cooking anything with shrimp. After cleaning hundreds of pounds of shrimp over my cooking career, the smell of shrimp makes me cringe. It's hard to clean shrimp with gloves, so I used my bare hands. The smell stuck to my hands.

17. Fortunately for Reddit_Junkie nobody orders this after the senior citizen early bird special winds down at 4:45.

Sliced beef liver topped with fried onions. The smell of beef liver makes me puke and not much makes me puke. Dog shit? Nope. Drunk person vomiting? Nope.

18. At least dubmcswaggins gets to take his anger out on the thing that causes all that anger.

I used to hate cooking fresh lobsters at Red Lobster. I would have to get it out of the tank and stab it in its fucking neck, rip its stomach open, and cook it. Which by the way, It gets cooked in a microwave on steroids, unless you order it grilled.

'Girls' star Jemima Kirke blames her divorce on one rather inconvenient thing.

0

Jemima Kirke and Michael Mosberg are divorcing after seven years of marriage, and Kirke is blaming one little thing for the split: acting. That is rather inconvenient with, you know, Kirke being an actress and all. The 31-year-old currently stars as Jessa Johansson on Girls, which was created by her long-time best friend Lena Dunham.

Kirke told ES Magazine: "I got divorced and I attribute that to acting. And just asking myself, ‘Is this really me?’​​​​​​" She went on to add:

So much of my life has been about reaction, just following the flow rather than making a strong choice. In acting you are always asking yourself why you do things, why you make the choices you make. Everything means something. And so then you start looking at your own life in that way. I’ve learnt a lot more about myself and started to figure out what I really want.

And what she doesn't want is this.

The couple, who met in rehab, have been married since 2009 and share two children together.

Chef Gordon Ramsay just made up some new swear words.

0
0

Gordon Ramsay, chef, entrepreneur, TV star, baby doppelganger, screamer of insults, hater of Girl Scout cookies, just did a Reddit AMA that was surprisingly honest and insightful.

Among the revelations:

He prioritizes quality time with his kids over quantity time. He hates people taking shortcuts more than anything else. If he wanted to wow a dinner guest at home, he'd make "roasted loin of venison finished with a sort of red wine sauce that's been thickened with a dark, bitter chocolate."

And does he prefer waffles to pancakes? Well, his answer is appropriately strategic, for a chef who's famous for being picky and decisive:

When a fan asked about plans to bring his UK show "The F Word" to American TV, Gordon said the biggest challenge was convincing the network to give him and his notoriously dirty mouth a live show. But he has a solution. New swear words:

"I've come up with great alternatives to cursing words. So, as opposed to saying 'shit,' I'm going to go 'shiiit-ake mushrooms.' As opposed to saying the word 'fuck,' I'm going to go 'fffruuuctose.'"

Very on-brand, don't you think?

Jason Derulo claims 'racial discrimination' after American Airlines calls a crazy number of cops on him.

Pop singer Jason Derulo is calling out American Airlines for "racial discrimination" after they sent 15 officers to work him over for a baggage dispute in at Miami International Airport.

"If I was not who I was, if I wasn't Jason Derulo, I wouldn't be here right now I'd be in f--king cuffs."

As the "Want To Want Me" singer explains in a video on TMZ, he and eight people in his entourage wanted to check 19 bags on their flight to LA, but they had arrived too late, so they left one person to take the next flight and check all the bags himself.

Derulo's plane was taxiing away when he gets a phone call: they want to charge him $6K to check the bags left behind.

Oh hell no.

As an elite "concierge key" member who has spent "millions" with AA, Derulo believes he was entitled to check an unlimited number of bags. Derulo demands to be taken back to the gate, so the pilot cusses him out, saying "I want these guys off the f**king plane right now."

By the time Derulo gets off there are 15 cops piled up waiting for him, and Derulo is in shock over how he's been treated.

"It's 100 percent racial," Derulo says in the video, "because the initial thought in people's minds is 'these hoodlums are causing problems.'"

"##ifiwasanyoneelseiwouldhavebeenarrested"

I spent millions on your airline throughout the past ten years between myself and my entire staff but have still experienced racial discrimination today at miami airport!!! Called 15 police officers on me as if I'm a criminal! It's not ok that when you find out who I am the gears change! Fuck that!! I want answers

A police report obtained by Local 10 News states that an American Airlines employee approached an officer after the group arrived at 4:15 p.m. for a 5 p.m. flight and said that they "all smelled of marijuana and were starting to get aggressive."

This beauty blogger highly recommends using a condom to do your makeup. Yes, a condom.

Beauty blogger Laila Tahri has found an alternative to having to squeeze out a beauty blender sponge by using proper protection. Yup: a condom.

Tahri got the idea to practice safe application, and after rinsing the "stuff" that comes on the condom, she slid her sponge right in.

"It blended out my foundation so beautifully!" she concludes, as the schmearing process is uninterrupted by an absorbent applicator.

It's very mesmerizing and quite weird to watch.

If you're putting on makeup before a date, using the condom is a great way to make sure you'll be using a condom later.

And once you invest in a stash, you can always play Aquaman.

Guy gets 'friend-zoned' in brutal post-date Instagram.

0

After taking a female friend on what sounds like a pretty awesome date, one guy got confirmation that she just sees him as a friend in the form of a post-date Instagram.

Here's the close-up:

She wrote:

From Top Golf to dinner, flowers, ice cream and horseback riding, you out-did yourself on this friend date Daniel! You wanted to set a standard for how I should be treated and you sure set a high one. I thank God so much that He put an amazing friend like you in my life. Thank you for making me feel like a true princess! #stillsingletho

Ugh, nooooo! Poor Daniel. The internet was quick to offer their condolences.

I normally despise the term "friend zone" but, my God. He bought her flowers and took her horseback riding and got an Instagram pic calling it a friend date and using the hashtag, "#stillsingletho." Obviously it's TOTALLY fine that she doesn't have romantic feelings for him and just wants to be friends, but you gotta tell the guy that! (In person, not via Instagram.)

Daniel, you need a hug?

CNN reporter can hardly believe how easy it is to disprove another Trump 'fact.'

0

Donald Trump's Supreme Court nominee, Judge Neil M. Gorsuch, reportedly told Senator Richard Blumenthal that Trump's "escalating attacks on the federal judiciary," according to theWashington Post, were "disheartening" and "demoralizing."

As the New York Timeswrites, the comment "was readily confirmed on the record by a White House adviser, Ron Bonjean, working to advance the Gorsuch confirmation."

And it was just as readily denied by President Donald J. Trump.

Chris Cuomo of CNN interviewed Senator Blumenthal regarding the controversy. Naturally, President Donald J. Trump was watching.

Or, at least, he watched some of it. Because after criticizing the network as "FAKE NEWS!" for not addressing Blumenthal's former controversy over his military service, CNN responded with a simple, "Uh, yeah we did, dude."

I'm paraphrasing. Here's how it went:

"Uh, let's just please show the top of the interview," said Cuomo.

Then they play the clip, and it's of Chris Cuomo asking Senator Blumenthal about his military service.

"Really. The first point that I made in the interview... The president, with all due respect, is once again off on the facts."


Nothing boosts my office morale quite like spending a snow day trapped at home with my kids.

Justin Timberlake just revealed the real reason NSYNC broke up.

0

Justin Timberlake is on the cover of The Hollywood Reporter this month, which is great news, because he has a beautiful face. Even better than the pretty pictures, though, is the interview, because Justin is delving into some VERY IMPORTANT ISSUES, such as: why oh why did he leave NSYNC and break up the greatest boy band of all time, forever altering the course of history?

Here's what he had to say for himself:

“I was growing out of it. I felt like I cared more about the music than some of the other people in the group. And I felt like I had other music I wanted to make and that I needed to follow my heart.”

Whoa, is that some subtle shade being thrown at unnamed members of the group for not caring as much about music?! So much to dig into here for die-hard NSYNC fans. Who is he talking about? Chris? Joey? Lance?! JC?!?!?! Honestly this could go any direction. Who's your money on?

The article drops another bombshell about the band's "breakup:" it never actually happened. Justin Timberlake's astronomically successful solo career has basically just been a side project. Get this:

"Technically, NSYNC never officially broke up; they announced a "hiatus" in 2002 and have not appeared together since."

Ummm...is this a "DaVinci Code" moment where the truth has finally been unlocked and NSYNC will now release 10 albums they've been hoarding while they waited for us to figure out they have actually still been together this whole time?

Here's hoping.

Playboy model who Snapchatted a nude woman at the gym asks judge to spare her from jail.

Former Playboy Playmate Dani Mathers was charged with invasion of privacy after she Snapchatted a picture of a woman showering at the gym. Along with the picture, she included the words, "If I can't unsee this then you can't either." The 30-year-old claimed that she'd just meant to text the message to a friend, but cops weren't buying it. The 71-year-old woman who was photographed at the gym pressed charges, and now Dani Mathers is asking the judge to spare her jail time.

I bet Dani Mathers wishes she could un-Snapchat this.

According to The Daily News, Dani Mathers' lawyer Tom Mesereau is trying to get the judge to spare her jail time. Mesereau requested that the judge put Dani Mathers into a deferment program, which involves going into counseling, attending an anti-bullying course, and visiting schools to teach students how bullying hurts people. (How bullying hurts victims, probably, and not how bullying hurts Dani Mathers: namely, she lost her job and her L.A. Fitness gym privileges.)

However, Mike Feuer, the L.A. City Attorney who's prosecuting the case, has filed legal documents requesting that the judge reject Mathers' lawyer's request for the deferment program. He pointed out that Dani Mathers never apologized to her victim, and documents from his office communicated, "She should face the consequences of her cruel and criminal act."

Dani Mathers pled not guilty to invasion of privacy in November. She now faces up to six months in jail, although it's not yet clear whether the prosecutor will demand jail time.

Justin Bieber returns to Instagram with a slew of shirtless selfies.

The East Coast woke up to a winter storm of blizzard proportions this morning, but you may have missed out on the blizzard of Instagrams Justin Bieber posted Wednesday night.

Bieber returned to Instagram earlier this month after a six-month hiatus, and it appears that he's making up for lost time.

Wednesday night's madness began with an Instagram to announce his upcoming tour.

After that, it was shirtless selfies as far as the eye could see.

With a dozen Instagrams in one night, Justin Bieber truly did provide us with "SOO MUCH CONTENT."

SOO MUCH CONTENT

Jury's still out on whether or not he's actually shirtless in this one. We're going to assume he is.

Bieber also included some selfies of the shirt-wearing variety.

Hanging with his bros.

And a photo of his "Weirdest moment."

Weirdest moment

And these are only some of the photos Bieber posted Wednesday night. The reason for the Biebs' sudden storm of Instagrams is unknown. Maybe he's just trying to prove to us all that he's doing GREAT.

Dr. Pimple Popper's patient and her scalp cyst have been together for seven long years. Here comes our favorite dermatologist to the rescue to facilitate the breakup. Dr. Lee introduces us to pilar cysts, little friends that rest on the head and run in families.

Good ol' Dr. Pimple Popper goes digging like an archaeologist popping out a perfect pearl in a desert of blonde hair. Pilar cysts are known to take on fun shapes, and what our Skindiana Jones discovers is a little poop emoji.

I don't need a special holiday to remind me I'm single.

Martha Stewart is stuck in the snow and it's up to us to save her.

Okay, fam. Suit up. We have to go save Martha Stewart.

Martha Stewart posted a photo to Instagram on Thursday. She's in her truck, stuck in the snow from the huge winter storm that hit the East Coast.

Plowing the four miles of roads on my farm I get stuck right by my house Waiting for a tractor to tow me out!

A photo posted by Martha Stewart (@marthastewart48) on

"Plowing the four miles of roads on my farm I get stuck right by my house. Waiting for a tractor to tow me out!" Martha Stewart captioned the photo.

This is definitely a cry for help, because she posted the same photo to Twitter.

"I decided to plow now I am stuck darn!!!!!" Martha tweeted. Guys, she used five exclamation points. This is SERIOUS.

I'm not sure where Martha's farm is (somewhere on the East Coast, obviously), but we must go find her and save her from the snow so that she may be reunited with her BFF Snoop Dogg. Onward!


Watching conversation hearts candy being made is strangely hypnotizing.

Valentine's Day is right around the corner, and that means that stores have stocked their shelves with overstuffed teddy bears, boxes of chocolate that you will buy half off the day after Valentine's, and many little cartons of the iconic polarizing candy, NECCO Sweethearts. Though many consider these stiff and chalky confections the candy corn of Valentine's Day, they are a drugstore staple every February.

Refinery 29went to the NECCO factory where they have been making Sweethearts candy for over a century. Whether you love 'em or hate 'em, you're gonna wanna know how they get made.

NECCO Sweethearts, sometimes called "conversation hearts," have been giving people cavities since their invention in 1866. According to the NECCO website, the company churns out over 100,000 pounds of the saccharine sweet each day, amounting to a billion little hearts a year. Depending on your feelings on the candy, they are a perfect gift for someone you love—or someone you hate—this Valentine's Day.

Kelly Clarkson's doctor accidentally diagnosed her with cancer.

0

The 2006 Grammy Awards ceremony was an emotional experience for Kelly Clarkson, and not just because she won two awards.

Kelly recently told Billboard’s "Pop Shop Podcast" that she had gotten some really, really bad medical results the morning of her first Grammy Awards. As if she weren't already nervous enough about the show, her doctor called that morning to let her know a test had come back positive for cancer.

"I was told that morning that I had cancerous results for something. Here’s the horrible part: I went the whole day crying. They redid my makeup, like, four times because I was like, ‘Wow, so young.’ I was just completely freaking out. Then when I won, I thought, ‘Oh, my God. This is like God giving me one more thing before something horrible happens.’”

Somehow Kelly was able to make it through not just her acceptance speeches, but a performance of her hit song, "Because of You."

Now here's the craziest part: apparently Kelly goes to the doctor from "Arrested Development" because the day after the show, the doctor called and told her the diagnosis was a "mix-up."

“I was like, ‘You completely ruined my entire [Grammy awards experience]. The first time for an artist … as a kid watching the Grammys, that was a big dream! It was kind of the worst/greatest day. And the next day was also the worst/greatest day because I wanted to punch someone. I was like, ‘Who mixes up results? Why wouldn’t you test again?’ It was very much a roller coaster ride, that day, for me. So, it’s kind of unfortunate, but a lot of the moments got stolen from that mishap. But hey, I didn’t have cancer!”

Hopefully Kelly got a new doctor after this experience.

A Trump boycott list caused these two celebs to pull out of 'Celebrity Apprentice.'

Tyra Banks' and Jessica Alba's beauty companies have pulled out of The New Celebrity Apprentice. Both of the celebrities' companies ended up on the boycott list of activist group #GrabYourWallet's due to their involvement in the show.

Tyra Banks and Jessica Alba appeared on The New Celebrity Apprentice as advisors, promoting their companies, Tyra Beauty and The Honest Company. After they pulled out of the show, they were removed from the boycott list, according to Racked.

While Donald Trump has left Celebrity Apprentice to be president of the United States, he's still the show's executive producer.

Hair is inspired by 🌊 today -thx @jennifer_yepez #honestbeauty

A spokesperson for Tyra Beauty said in a statement,

We want to make it clear that Tyra Beauty is not an active sponsor of The Celebrity Apprentice series and does not plan to become one in the future. Filmed a year ago, our involvement was limited to showcasing Tyra Beauty’s innovative cosmetics products.

Shannon Coulter, the boycott organizer for the anti-Trump group #GrabYourWallet (which also went after Nordstrom for carrying Ivanka Trump merchandise) told Racked,

I think what we’re seeing right now is consumer power acting as a direct and substantial check to a presidential administration out of step with core American values of equality and inclusivity. Fortunately, in the United States, money talks. The women of this nation are showing it walks too.

Strangers recreate the 'Lady & the Tramp' spaghetti scene and prove it's only cute with cartoon dogs.

The spaghetti scene from the Disney classic movieLady and the Tramp is iconic. Two cartoon dogs share a plate of pasta served by an obviously crazy man who treats them as humans while "Bella Notte" is sung in the background. The whole thing culminates in a kiss, which is very romantic and very Disney.

Because Valentine's Day is right around the corner and love is in the air, the folks at Oh My Disney, a blog for dedicated Disney lovers, decided to have human strangers recreate the scene, and let me tell you, it is not nearly as cute. However, these good sports managed to make the awkward activity pretty hilarious, so check it out.

Nothing says "romance" like sauce-stained faces of two people who just avoided kissing each other on the lips.

Skip the fancy restaurant this year and try this in lieu of a traditional Valentine's dinner! Just tell your date not to wear white.

This dad taught his 8-month-old daughter a strategy to avoid boys and she nails it.

Dads can be very overprotective of their teen daughters, is something I've learned from movies (when I was a teen, the only boys who wanted to talk to me were in Theater Club and my dad wasn't too concerned).

This dad and Twitter user Austin McBroom got an early start on keeping the male species away from his daughter, by teaching his 8-month-old to crawl away whenever a boy approaches. He shared an adorable video on Twitter of the two of them practicing the strategy, and it has gone viral.

Watch and learn, ladies:

"She's only 8months and she already knows...." he wrote in the caption.

Twitter is loving this dad's approach:

And this guy tried to teach his kid the same strategy. It didn't go so well:

But Dads, there's hope! Maybe your kids will grow up into awkward, shy teenagers with braces and year-round allergies who love reading and horses. That helped me avoid boys by having them avoid me, at least until college.
