Bringing fast food into a fancy restaurant

Stay home. bitch.

Yes. They won't let you bring it in you trashy cunt OP.

Most restaurants won't allow that OP, but you, yeah you try that and report back what happens.

Sorry, Donald: you'll have to eat your bucket of KFC in the parking lot.

I brought my own coffee to a coffee house. I purchased it at a gas station and didn't want to throw it away.

THIS is what the great DL has been reduced to ? Basic POOR bitches ?

What kind of fast food? When I was a little kid there was a time I only wanted to eat hamburgers when I was out. So if we went to a fancy restaurant or a foreign-food restaurant, I would ask for a hamburger. They usually have ground beef and rolls in a restaurant, so they most likely will make you a hamburger. Bring your own packets of condiments, I guess. But I think you're making this up.

Please do it.

I myself personally bring my own chair (a fireside Windsor in ash) as well as a fannypack filled with steamed salmon. I simply require a bread plate for bones and water with preserved lemon.

It’s so much easier for the staff. I’ve read they’re overworked during these times of Covid.

OP, it doesn't matter what you like -- you were invited to dinner, so you should eat what's served. Just like being invited to someone's house, except that there are choices at restaurants, so you probably could find something on the menu to suit you. If you don't want to eat what's available, then politely decline the invitation: "I'm sorry, I can't, but thank you for asking me" -- if they press you, make up a story about medications requiring you to go to bed early.

If you couldn't eat certain foods for medical or religious reasons, that would be more socially acceptable than mere fussiness, but you'd still be expected to find SOMETHING on the menu. It's never OK to bring your own food to a restaurant (unless you're Gloria Swanson, but you're not).

Hugh Hefner did this.

" So if we went to a fancy restaurant or a foreign-food restaurant, I would ask for a hamburger. "

Good for you. My parents would have kicked my ass for even suggesting something outrageous like that.

R11 The first time, everyone laughed and my parents were saying, "Come on, now" but the waiter said, "Oh sure, we'll make you a hamburger" So after than I was emboldened, I guess.

R12, I did that when I was 5, at a small town Chinese restaurant (modest family style, not fancy). My parents hadn't warned me not to because it didn't occur to them (it should have because they knew I always asked for a cheeseburger on the rare occasions we went out for lunch or dinner) -- and they didn't make a scene when I ordered it because they were too polite, though they did apologize to the waiter. But he said he'd see what could be done and apparently went to the market next door to get ingredients to make me a sandwich of a thin hamburger patty and a piece of American cheese between 2 slices of white bread spread with Chinese mustard, and potato chips on the side. The grocery bill must have cost the restaurant a fortune compared to what they charged for my meal and the hot Chinese mustard just about killed me after only one bite (of course my frugal father insisted we take the leftovers home), but everyone involved saved face and I learned not to insist on having my own way at the expense of those trying to be gracious hosts.

Please do it then share photos of all the people judging your tackiness.

R12.

Years ago I worked at a very fancy restaurant in Boston. One night we had a lady who came in with a huge list of all the things she couldn’t-or didn’t want to- eat. The poor server who got stuck with her table must have spent about 10 minutes going back and forth between the table and the kitchen trying to figure out what the lady could order. Eventually the chef came out and asked her to leave. Chefs spend a huge amount of time and energy crafting and perfecting their menus. If you don’t want to eat anything then you need to stay home.

Eat something before you go, and then at the restaurant just order a salad.

I would also consider therapy.

^ OP ain't doin salad, silly.

Just the fact that you're asking this question (even as a joke) should be indicator that the 'fancy' restaurant would not be for you. Unless, you consider The Olive Garden to be fancy.

In case this is real... a lot of fancy restaurants will have a menu posted online. Check out their website and look for something you can safely eat. If it's just a matter of baby tastes, look for a pasta dish... you can usually eat the noodles and push aside any yucky vegetables. Not to mention filling up on bread. Skip the salad and tell your companions you are just saving room for dessert.

I assume OP is going to try to sneak Popeyes into McDonalds.

I bring my personal chef.

Stay home, you fat whore!

This never happened but I'll play along.

2 times when this is acceptable, under age 7 or if you're picking up the check.

Even if you had an extreme medical issue you would call the place and let them know in advance.

I went on a date with a weirdo who brought his own knife, fork and spoon because he was freaked out at how many mouths licked the flatware. I laughed and said "Think about how many asses have sat in that chair". He wasn't happy. Thank you, next. OCD is a deal breaker.

I would bring take out chinese: eggroll, wonton soup and chicken chow mein. If they didn't check with you first and asked where you wanted to go they're inconsiderate jerks..

^That's gauche. The only sensible thing is to order Dominos and try to time it with the arrival of the other's entrees. But don't use a coupon or it will look tacky.

Dominos lets you use mobile coupons, R26.

"I went on a date with a weirdo who brought his own knife, fork and spoon because he was freaked out at how many mouths licked the flatware."

I guess your "date" didn't end with any kissing, bjs or ass play.

When I was a server at a restaurant in Houston this woman insisted on modifying a dish so much that what she received was basically kale and sunflower seeds with the dressing on the side. I tried to dissuade her, but she insisted. When she received her dish, she made some comment that "no restaurant would serve this in D.C." to which I replied we don't either.

Another time a woman came in with a roasted chicken recipe printed from Bon Appetit or the like and insisted the cooks make it, and when I told her no, she tried modifying the roasted chicken we offer to the recipe's specifications.

Don't they have friends and family to tell them no?

Beam me up, Scotty. Please.

^OMG. I never even thought about this part. In fact, we had already had sex and he rimmed me. That's crazy.

I would never do something as intimate as dine out with someone I hadn't slept with first.

Did you guys know you can bring your own fish to restaurants in Florida?

Trashy , embarrassing behavior. Don’t make others uncomfortable. Like one suggested stay home with your neurosis and your Big Macs.

I briefly saw a guy for awhile who I would not be shocked if he did this. This is why I look at country boys with suspicion.

Bless your heart.

OP They should push you into the biggest oven in the kitchen and do the world a favor.
