Web Watch loves a good cocktail, as frequent readers would recognize.
And while we have previously covered how to order a drink at a bar, it’s time to also review this important piece of advice:
Category: food
People say that running a bar or restaurant is one of the hardest careers that one can have. In essence, you’re responsible for your customers’ happiness – which is completely different from being sure you provide good customer service.
People expect their food (or drink) to make them happy and content. A good meal can bring a level of satisfaction that can only be met by very few other things in this world. Web Watch will let you choose what those are for you.
Watching Top Chef, Iron Chef, or even the Next Food Network Star pale in comparison to MASTERCHEF, the program that takes “home cooks” and shows that complicated dishes can be made by anyone.
How do you make your fast-food restaurant choices?
Do you choose the one that is closest to where you are at the time? The one with a specific menu item? Lowest prices? Fastest service? The one with a specific toy promotion or playland for the kids?
With so many decisions to make when it comes to your fast-food experience, you should be happy that you’re not alone in having frustration in finding the Perfect Fast Food Restaurant in your travels.
Ever wonder how much month there is to make in the restaurant business?
For the vast majority of small business owners, restaurants are one of the riskiest businesses to try to run; the failure rate is daunting.
But when you hit on a location, concept, menu, or otherwise have a high level of repeat customers who you can rely on for a steady income — then you have something.
And if you get to the point where you can appear on a list of the TOP GROSSING RESTAURANTS IN THE COUNTRY, then you know you’ve hit the big time.
Have you seen the reports from all the elementary and middle schools that are removing soda machines from their hallways?
Those communities are fed up with the amount of junk food that kids today are consuming, and they figure that if they can remove the soda machines from the classroom – that will automatically start making kids healthier.
In some regard, it ends up that those communities may be right after all.
Is there anything better than a well-cooked egg?
Eggs are the one dish that everybody has a favorite version of. Some people prefer the basic scrambled egg, while for others, the perfect sunny-side up egg is perfection.
One question that eludes Web Watch is who was the first person to see a chicken lay an egg, who then decided that THAT would be something that we should try to eat. And the second person, who decided that the first person’s idea of eating an egg raw was uncivilized.
Web Watch loves a good burger.
When done right, it’s phenomenal. When done poorly, it’s still pretty good. Of course, we make our own decision as to where we’re going to get that burger, and go into the establishment generally knowing what we’re going to get.
There’s a difference between a McDonald’s Dollar Menu double-cheeseburger and a burger from the Burger Gourmet Bar sit-down restaurant with the $21 Kobe beef slider down the street. You get what you pay for, and as long as you’re okay with that, then the following won’t surprise you.
Do you read product labels when you’re making household purchases? Web Watch does try to avoid buying food that contains high fructose corn syrup or has “sugar” listed on the label — but we’re a creature of habit, and Pop Tarts taste so darn good.
But we don’t really take the time to read all those other funky labels and warnings that seem to be applied to practically everything we get nowadays. Do we care that something was made in a plant that also processes “soy”, “nuts”, and “dairy products”? Eh. Not so much… but we know some folks who do care, so we’re not going to make fun of them for this.
