Special Orders

In today’s society it is very common to know someone with a dairy or gluten allergy.  These people when going to a restaurant have to be very careful with what they order because their bodies could have an allergic reaction. Chefs are more than willing to modify an order to make it edible for someone with an allergy.  However there are some people who do not have any allergies and walk into a restaurant thinking it’s their own kitchen and they can whip up anything they want for dinner.  The other day I had a girl order an avocado for dinner.  Is she serious?  If you want an avocado for dinner go to whole foods and slice it up yourself.  On the bright side an avocado isn’t technically modifying an entrée (even though it is ordering something we don’t even have on the menu) at least it wasn’t a burger on rye toast with avocado, sautéed onions and fried pickles.  First of all who comes up with these ideas?  Secondly go to a restaurant that serves this.  The cooks in the kitchen don’t have time to play around with your made up burger ideas.  They have items made on the menu for a certain reason.  Don’t get mad when your burger on toast actually comes out on a bun.
