Foreign & Domestic

Hello, F&D, please go fuck yourself, oh, and have a nice day.

Actually, no, don't. Because you ruined mine. Happy Meal had been wanting to try this place for awhile, so we head over recently. We are sat at the counter, right in front of the cooks and chefs. We look over the menu, and decide, as our waitress asks us quite quickly. I order the Vegetable Scramble (Squash, Peppers, Tofu, Herbs, Ricotta, Toast), minus the cheese. Happy Meal orders the Fennel and Sausage PoBoy.

I watch the cooks, just out of curiosity, but I see the guy cooking the Veggie Scramble put butter and a shit-load of eggs into the pan. I call the waitress over, and nicely (really) about the eggs, since the menu only mentioned tofu. She seemed confused, and went back to the cook.

The cook begins to bitch about cooking for vegans, cursing, and apparently angry that he has to cook a non-egg dish. My heart sinks as he angrily throw tofu and veggies into a pan and sautés them. I watch his scabby, burned hands moving quickly and furiously. Haphazardly thrown on a plate, and quite sad looking, the waitress brings it to me, along with Happy Meal's sandwich.

I feel sick. I know vegans can be sucky, but we are customers, and I really was nice about it. The dish is so over-salted. And there is pesto on top. I take a bite of toast, and push the plate away. I was made fun of, which the cook did not know I was the vegan customer, and heard everything.

So, besides the scabby cook hands, the cursing and complaining about vegans, the thing that bothered me most was the menu, which says "Vegetable Scramble" - it lists tofu and vegetables, but does not point out that the main ingredient is egg. Nor that it's even included in the dish.

Happy Meal said his sandwich was sucky.

So, screw this place.
