Thread: The lie on the plate

Actually, a lot of restaurants I've been to have managed to live up to the delectable looking wax sculptures they put into the menu photographs. I'm not saying that all of them have done this, but most entrees and some desserts managed to look just as exquisite in front of me as it did in the menu. As for those that don't manage to live up to it, perhaps they're too busy to do it perfectly for anyone that night, which while still hurting their credibility, is understandable if you continue to look at the chef from a normal human being's perspective rather than that of an elitist's.
Thread: The lie on the plate

Oh no some do live up to it, but I speak of the ones who use people who use methods with actual food. The steak looks moister and more perfect than you can make a real one thats made to order. The burgers look full, the salad delicious and fresh not slightly wilted by the heat because the patty is ice cold though it looks cooked. I mean most desserts turn out the same way as the pictures but appetizers and entrees fall short. Sometimes things just can't be cooked that way every time. I completely understand it from the che'fs point of view my thing is I want restaurants to do away with pretension and simply place on the plate what they intend to actually serve. Food stylists use glue and wires to make certain items look far more complex and inviting than can be replicated with normal means though some of them do surprise.
Thread: The lie on the plate

But not doing it is bad for business. For every one person like you who notices that their food doesn't look like what the stylist put on the menu, there are tens of thousands of people who really just don't give a fuck. If they stopped getting stylists to make their food look good on the menu as a first impression, then the regular people would notice that it doesn't look good and they would stop buying the food because of it. Ergo, restaurants lose that much more money.
Thread: The lie on the plate

Then how did restaurants make money before the stylists? Many restaurants had far more power before the stylist and how many of those tens of thousands are repeat customers?

Because people back then were far less vain than they are now.

I know..I just wanted to have a topic about food hehehe but seriously my only real problem is with people who don't try. Menu shows something delicious and on the plate it neither looks nor taste anywhere near.
Thread: The lie on the plate

I'll have to agree with Anasi. I get a little disappointed when the food looks NOTHING like what was on the menu, but I do try to take in where it is I'm eating to set my expectations. Like IHOP. I seriously don't expect my burger or chicken sandwich or my eggs even to look close to what's on the menu. The main reason for that expectation is I can see who works there. A bunch of people who have the look of desperation and dispair on their face. The waitstaff are obviously fake-happy. Even the managers look down and rarely make eye-contact. I know this is only applicable to my area, but I can see by the overall attitude of this specific location why my food comes the way it does. They don't want to be there and numbers are what's important. They only have so much repeat business because it's one of the only places to eat at 4am. At some of the finer places to eat, it's a little different. Usually, when my food comes to the table, it looks like some care was put into placing it in it's containers and arranged in a marginally time consuming manner. I appreciate this because this is part of the experience you're paying for when you eat there. So my expectations are a little higher there. I can say that I have spoken to chefs to let them know that I appreciate their time and attention to detail, or to have him inform his staff of such, and they always seem to look more relaxed andor excited to actually have someone tell them these things. I'm not sure how often they hear such things, but I do wish more people would tell them. I think, in some places, that if morale was a little better that we might see better looking food coming to our table, but that's just an opinion I hold. Better tasting food is a whole other story.

Presentation is also key. How do you think Gordon Ramsey has been getting it through those heads of wanna-be chefs on Hell's Kitchen? All of that swearing up a storm and berating them in a visceral manner wasn't for shock value, ya know. Not only is better looking food a must, but the look and the taste of the food as dramamine mentioned just now are key elements in order to bring people to the restaurant, set their asses down in seats, eat whatever it is they brought out to them and ultimately pay for it plus tax plus a tip.

Lmao, I still do it. But I have to say that lots of these resturants do show something that looks amazing but tastes terrible. Its always a turn off, and I usually dont bother going back. Because of this, I have started cooking in my home more.

Honestly, Its more satisfying If you ger a recipie, and make your food yourself, and that feeling that your so awesome when It turns out great. Yes, I am a dude and I do cook every now and then, I shall not surrender my soul to mcdonalds!
Thread: The lie on the plate

If I'm going out to a restaurant, I always try to pick a place nice enough not to have pictures on the menus. The good establishments I've been at, at any level, from greasy spoon to fine dining, just don't have pictures. Granted, so do the really bad places.

Thomas was 17. For years now he had been fantasizing over his older sister. He wasn't sure how long it had been since he first started wanting her. He first noticed her body when he hit puberty, around 11 years old. Thomas caught her showering. But it wasn't until he was 14 that he started really wanting her. Not long after he had lost his virginity he caught her pleasuring herself and has wanted her ever since. Now at days Thomas found his lust for her growing to uncontrolable levels. And just like every night when he was home alone, Thomas found himself laying on her bed, stroking his cock while admiring pictures of her and going through her cloths. Normally he didn't stay long, but tonight something was differnt. He had gotten so deep into his fun that he didn't even hear the front door opening.

Ashley slowly moved through the front door, finally getting home. Her brother got out of school much earlier than she did, so she always got home later. Plus, she had gone to a friend's house to study for a while for an upcoming test. 19 year old Ashley was a very intelligent student, perhaps one of the smartest in her school. She was known for being a very smart individual, but there was some things people didn't know about her. Ever since her body had started to develop, she had many sexual fantasies, and she would constantly please herself in her room when she had the chance. she knew her brother was home, and her parents were still working. She sighed softly as she set her things down on the couch nearby. she had finished up all her homework, and had been holding back on some of her desires the entire day. She was looking forward to just locking herself up in her room again and pleasing herself. As she came up to her room, she didn't hear anything inside and she just pushed the door open, taking a few steps before she froze, staring at her brother on her bed. She saw her brother there, masturbating. There were numerous pictures of her around as well around him, some that she thought nobody had. W-what are you doing in here?! she cried, clearly shocked.

Being in her so many times, he knew where everything was even her own privet pictures. It never occurred to him to wonder why she had some of these, he was just glad to have found 'em. Even know he was alone he was doing his best to keep quiet in case some one came home. Just before he exploded in orgasm, the door flew open. You would think that Thomas would have hurried to cover his tracks right? Well he didn't. There was nothing he could do, so he froze. He was laying there, completely still with his rock hard 8 inch cock in his hand, holding a picture of his sister, while they both looked at one and other shocked. He didn't know what to say or how to respond, so he naturally reverted back to sarcasm, Um, what are you doing here? he asked.
Thread: When you loose control

What?! You're in no position to be asking me something like that! this is my room! she cried, not sure what action to carry out. There were numerous times where the siblings would quarrel, but such an event had never occurred before, so she was not sure what to do with him. She noticed the pictures, quickly grabbing them and putting them away. How'd you even find those?! Stop looking through my stuff! she said, clearly embarrassed. Not only did he find her private pictures, but he was jacking off to them. Have you been doing this all this time?! How could you? Now I know why it smells in here when I get home! she said, quickly grabbing pictures and putting them away, turning back to him but looking away. Of course, she couldn't help but notice his impressive member. C-come on now! Put on some clothes! she said, clearly trying to be the more responsible one here.

Thomas instantly shut up. She was right, there was no way for him to try and act funny. He just sat there and listened to her rant, which was completely understandable on her end. I'm sorry... I just... he tried to say, but she continued to speak and cut him off. You're just so... once again he couldn't get the words out. Then suddenly, there was a change in her tone. He caught her glance at his member, then her voice became more unsure. He then had a thought. It was a long shot, but the worst that would happen was her getting more mad and kicking him out right? She'd most likely be too embarrassed to tell their parents. Do I have to put something on? I mean, couldn't you just take something off?

His next few words surprised her a bit. W-what are you saying? I find you naked in my room and you want me to strip down as well?! she cried. Then again, he had found some incriminating pictures of her masturbating naked. It was clear that he had an attraction of some sort to her. She herself had to admit that she would sometimes fantasize about him, but she had never really thought about such a thing, but she saw nothing wrong with it. She just didn't want to admit it. What makes you think I'll do th-! How'd you even find those pictures? she muttered, suddenly changing the subject.
Thread: When you loose control

I've been coming in here for a long time, you kinda stumble across things after a while. he told her, no point in hiding the truth now right? He smiled, trying to push the subject more. He wasn't going to stop until she agreed or kicked him out. So yes, I'm saying that I would like you to strip down for me. I've seen pictures, and I'd like to see the real thing. There's no harm in letting me see you is there? he asked, then began stroking himself again hoping it would push her into it.
Thread: When you loose control

Tch. How could you look through my stuff? she muttered. this was how it was with a lot of little brothers, or she assumed it was. Of course, like any siblings, they would indeed fight and tried to get the better of the other. She still stood there, looking rather awkward as she debated it. If she really wanted him out, she would have done so a long time ago, so why was she stalling? W-well, that's true. She figured that since he had already seen her body in pictures, there was no point in trying to hide it. Plus, the sight of him naked in her room actually was turning her on a bit, though she wouldn't show it. Only this once! she said, slowly starting to remove her clothing, starting with her top.

It was still a puzzle to the cougar as she watched her neighbor enter his home. How in the hell had that damned wolf ignored all the pesty things she had gotten others to do? Miss Naomi had even sent a skunk to try and force him out of her kingdom, as she liked to put it and still there had been not a single sign of discomfort. Maybe his nose had been broken? Well, if you want something done right, you must do it yourself the kitten purred to herself. Despising the wolf across the street was her passion, a hobby that never seemed to end. The dark brown eyes continued to glare over for a short while before the creature of red fur hissed. How in the world was she going to survive this? The kitten wanted her lone kingdom back more then she was willing to admit. She wanted to be the top knot, the one everyone respected and the dog would have to leave for that to happen. Another frustrated hiss passed her lips as she stumbled through her home. She would have to go shopping for a fridge today, maybe she could get a bit closer that way. Just maybe she could make him feel so uncomfortable that her wish of him leaving would come true. Her ears twitch lightly as she ran her plan through her mind once more. It had taken many days of practice to get the nasty hiss out of her voice when imagining speaking to him. No she would have to sound sweet and censer now. A kind, bubbly, and friendly voice was the only way to really convince him that she would be up to no harm. She wanted something, and now it was time to fight for it. Stretching lightly, the mountain lion moved into her room and pulled out a white summer dress. It barely reached the middle of her toned thighs and her tail swayed through a hole in the skirt. Once she checked herself in the mirror, she purred finding the look delightful before actually daring to walk over to the neighbors home. Her paw thundered against the door, and her pulse started rising with every thud that could be heard. The reality that a wolf could be just as dangerous as a cougar was blocking her mind. Something was begging her to leave, and yet she was not willing to show her fear. No she could do this. Hello She mumbled smiling as sweetly as she could manage. I have to asked you a favor. You see I am picking up a refrigerator and could really use your help with the transport. I wont be able to lift it by myself She made her voice sound uncomfortable for asking for help. After all she did not figure him dumb enough to believe she would be comfortable asking him of all people for help. Edit

It wasn't like the wolf had actually done anything wrong. I mean, the rent was so low and the place was furnished and the landlord seemed anxious to get him to sign the forms and get the hell out that he knocked off an extra fifty bucks a month. Alex couldn't imagine for a moment why the place was so cheap and nice and yet had been vacant for so long, but it didn't seem to bother him. His first week there had been quiet, going out when he wanted fun, staying in and eating pizza when he felt like vegetating and being bored. So far, the house was a little too perfect. Then, there was that miserable skunk girl. She looked pissed before he opened the door and looked through the window to see who it was. But once he opened the door wearing nothing but a pair of boxers she started blushing and stammering over her words. He gave her some warm milk to calm her down, and by the end of the night, the skunk was in his bed, crying out his name over and over again. It wasn't that she was a bad lay, hell, it was fun having a girl who would do anything just to make him climax, but it was unexpected, and he didn't always appreciate things that were unexpected, even though he'd do her again, given the opportunity. The next girl was equally a quagmire as the first. Though, she was quite a bit better looking. She seemed, he noticed, to be intensely thinking when he looked at her through the window between the time that she rang the doorbell and he opened the door. But, upon opening the door, Alex noticed that she appeared to be slightly nervous. For whatever reason, he couldn't tell. It probably had to do with the fact that he was only in a pair of jeans. The tall, lean wolf stood in front of her, bare chested, flat stomach, black fur shining in the light. His tail flicks as he agrees and walks across the street and into her home. Such a beauty like hers, he couldn't resist doing a little favor for. So, by the time they'd gotten into her home, he was looking for her refrigerator, no idea that something could even be amiss.

The cougar blinked in shock that he had simply agreed and walked right over into her home. Following a little bit cautious the kitten was careful to keep the sweet innocent smile on her lips. As she brushed past his body into the kitchen she made sure to have her tail bush along his torso. Here we are She mumbled having already made the way clear into the garage before asking for help. ....we just need to go threw this door and try to load it into the trunk To Naomi it was already more then clear that the fridge would be to hig, even on its side, to fit into the Audis trunk. At least she would tier him out a bit, an maybe there would be some away into having him come along to the store? Sighing a little at the thought, her brown eyes traced down his smooth body. Well.lets see if we can lift this baby She purred while bending down to take the side he was already standing on. As she bent down, she made sure to keep her ass up in the air. He would get a full view and the skirt of the dress would rise so much, that the white lace thong would be seen ever so slightly.

Rrrr. He couldn't help but make the noise when her tail brushes across his stomach. With no shirt on, her tail brushing against him makes him lick his lips and daydream for a moment. But, when she tells him where it was, he gives a nod, trying to shake his little reverie out of his head. Looking at the fridge, he nods. The problem isn't the fridge... His voice trails off as he sees her looking at him. Then, she bends over in front of him. His whole body shivers for a second and he can feel an electric tingle up his spine. She had such a cute, perky little ass, and he could see the folds of her pussy under the thin fabric of her thong. That's when he could no longer help himself. A bulge was forming in his jeans from his erection starting to grow, and he just could not think straight. Reaching forward, he lets his fingers brush over the folds of her pussy through her thong, caressing it as she stays bent over. She could smell his musk, the scent of a male needing to mate, something that she didn't smell with male felines that she was used to.
Thread: Cats and Dogs (Broken Knight and Kara)

Even though a small pure of please crossed her lips, and a scent she did not know crossed her nose, Naomi was quick to jump up and turn to stare at him. The musk was something very knew to her, something causing her to feel extremely honey. The kitten however continued to keep control, she was not going to go against he plan. This was about making the other uncomfortable, and for the moment he did not look like it at all. Sneering at him she warned Careful where your hands go...I simply asked for help with the fridge. Her tone was dangerous but she did manage to force a playful hint into it. The wolf would have to feel uncomfortable with the fact at how the cougar was playing her role. After all no dog would ever want a cat to close, right? The golden eyes stared at him for another five seconds, before she let her hips sway her over to the opposite side not wanting to take a chance. So Lets get this thing in the car... She smiled her tone back to the innocent one that the young lady had practiced. This time she waited for him to bend down, her mind trying to stick with the mission. The new scent was still lingering in the air and the young lady had the fight the urge to rip his clothing off.

He gave a huff when she rejected him. Frowning a little bit, he looks over at her. The wolf wanted to tell her that it wasn't his fault she was wearing a short skirt, a kinky little thong, and that she'd bent over in front of him like that. Rolling his eyes, he takes a deep breath, trying to calm himself. It's not going to work like that. He says, shaking his head. Why don't I get my truck, it'll be a lot easier to put it into the bed of it instead of trying to stuff it into your car. Oaks tells her. Partly, he was trying to get away from her long enough that he could go and calm his body down so he didn't feel like pressing her up against the wall and fucking her brains out. And that thought didn't help much, either. Leaving the garage, he goes to his truck, pretending to look for his keys for a few minutes. Once he was calmed down, which is to say, he wasn't getting an erection any longer, he got into his truck and started it up. Backing it into her driveway, he goes over to her, dolly in tow. With a loud growl, he stands up the refrigerator, inadvertently showing off and flexing as he does so. Taking the fridge over to the bed of his truck, he lifted from the bottom, shoving it into the bed of his truck, not really needing help to do that part. There. He says, dusting his hands off.
Thread: Cats and Dogs (Broken Knight and Kara)

As he left her home to get the truck the kitten took it as a sign of discomfort her plan was already working. There was only one problem with Naomi, she wanted to play now. Taking a deep breath she tried to forced her arousal out of her head. What had that smell been and why had it alone grown her sex drive to go into the active mode? It was strange for the cougar girl to feel that way for a wolf. Sure she had had her flings here and there, but never had she dared to let a dog get near her. She quickly ignored the many questions and ideas her mind was shooting at her not wanting to give in to temptation. She needed to win her kingdom back and to do that he would have to continue to feel uncomfortable. As Alex returned with his truck Naomi was almost in total control again. The sudden unexpected growl causing the fur on her neck to stand on end for a few seconds, Cats were scared of some things after all. Her golden eyes followed his ever step staring at the tones muscles that came to shine as he moved the fridge single handedly into his truck. The female was impressed with the wolf, her eyes wide her mind returning to some unwanted thoughts. Wow... She whispered more to herself then anyone else. Blinking a few times she tried to keep her tone normal as she looked him over again. Stepping close she left her soft fingers traced down his chest for a moment. That was impressive... She purred meaning it but at the same time thinking her touch would make him uncomfortable. I guess you have to drive me to the store then huh? She gave a shy little smile trying to keep her paws from touching his bear skin.
