As for fast food ... The Varsity over on North Avenue in Atlanta.  Chili Dogs, Naked Dogs, Pimento Cheese Burgers, Frosted Oranges, Co-Cola's, Onion Rings and Fried Pies.  It's like dying and going to fast-food heaven!

I can't remember what mag it was, but someone voted Varsity the best chili dog in the nation. 


I will ask the wife if she can remember.

This thread has gotten away from the "bad treatment of wait staff," but I want to share something else my brother- and sister-in-law did on a different occasion.  I was telling my wife what I shared here and she reminded me of a time when they ordered apple pie with ice cream on top.  Not too complicated, right?

Well they stearnly made it known that they wanted the pie piping hot....but the ice cream so freshly placed on top that it hadn't started melting when it was served. 

Can you imagine actually stipulating something like that

That's ridiculous

from being on all ends of the foodservice thing. if waitstaff is trying. treat them well. if kitchen screws up. deal with it. if you can't understand that there are many other people that are being served as well. then go home and cook. waiting tables, and working the kitchen in a resturant are hard jobs. give them some slack. don't you have bad days at work. they would not come to your job and give you a hard time. lighten up.

I have/had enough friends that worked all ends of the food industry to know never send food back.  Take care of the wait staff. And remember tip stands for to insure prompt service (not crazy service request) watch Reservoir Dogs to clarify any confusion.

This thread reminds me of something that happened to me while I was working at a deli/catering outfit one summer during my college years. The place was located close to a new business park, so there was a lot of traffic around noon. One lunch day, this pr*ck was ordering a sandwich. Either it was extremely loud or he was speaking softly on purpose, but I couldn't hear his order. When I asked him to repeat it, he assumed I was mentally challenged, started speaking extremely slow and GRABBED my note pad to write down his order. I stopped him mid-way, and told him (quite loudly) that if he insists on being a jerk, I was not interested in taking his order. The people behind him were clapping! The deli's owner didn't see the first exchange, but when one of our regular customers told him what happened, he laughed and made me a plate of his best homemade ravioli to take home to my folks. I still recall that day periodically when I'm dealing with a jerk in work. I don't care what line of work you're in, you (at a minimum) treat people with the respect they give you.

Tyler, as a Bay Area dude, I can't believe you didn't mention Nation's Burgers. Blows In & Out away. Plus, they make the best chocolate shakes & banana cream pie for the post 1,500 calorie meal.

Happy New Year's to you guys. I'll update my pic after the New Year's shave.

Nations is a great burger!! But I'm of the opinion that it's not as good as In-n-Out, but they are close.

Well i understand the the theory behind what you say but i do have to make one rule that is overlooked...i am allergic to oinions...yes poor me i am a coonass and most meals contain them...lol but as far as sending a order back if it is of proper nature that you request do to these reasons i see no problems returning a order...but be nice the waiter just brought you the food they do not fix it...now fast food i won't leave till i check the order...and as far as my best place to eat ...in La. Boiling Point or O Charleys..they have the best two for one all day every day!!!!..in Tx..there is a hole in the wall BBQ place off Hwy 10 out side of Beaumont on the east bound side can't think of the name but you get what you pay for.....in GA...Carey Hilliards best damn sweet tea i ever had...
