Have you ever been warned by staff NOT to order something because it was bad or gross?
For me it was the Brooklyn Pizza by Dominos 20 years ago.
I was excited to try but never did because when I placed my order the person on the other end of the phone almost pleaded wih me not to get it because it was so greasy and bad.

Yeah, I went in an ice cream store the other day and was thinking about a banana split and the guy showed me their only banana and said "I'd get something else".
I appreciate that kind of honesty. And I know some assy customers who'd be upset about it or insist on having it anyway and then bitching that it was brown and crappy.
I just ordered something else because I'm easy.

yes, it was autumn and I was enjoying a spinach chowder from the local canteen when I gazed upon the specials list and to my gleeful whimpers they had cheese balls but when I went to order my cheese balls the barman began shaking involuntarily and talking in tongues. And to this day I have never tasted cheese balls.

I go to a bar that's also a bit of a more upscale pizza place, with wings and other things. For a while, their ribs were one of the best things on the menu. Unfortunately, their supplier changed, and even the general manager would tell me they sucked right now, even if they had good margins.
Same bar, a bartender friend would tell me who was working in the back on a given day, which meant you knew if shit was going to come out accurate and properly cooked or not. If Pablo or whatever his name was, was in the back. Just stick to like wings or a sandwich. Never get breakfast or a pizza.

No, but I have had the sad experience of having a family operated, but relatively fancy, restaurant shut down mid service because of a death in the family (not on site though lol). Very surreal experience waiting 2-3min for the last few orders that were ready to be boxed up by quietly sobbing waitresses.

no but the brooklyn style was good. my brother who lived in brooklyn was even surprised by how good it was. maybe your location just sucked at making it. I heard it was discontinued because it was relatively hard to make since you had to stretch a dough up two sizes.

I loved this shit as a kid (which was roughly 20 years ago). I remember i used to cycle to a local dominos and would carry 3 medium Brooklyn pepperoni boxes with the 5-5-5 deal in one hand on the bike back home. Those were the days
