The place was so dark inside, had to use flashlights on phones just to read the menu. So much extra serving crap on the tables, it was hard to eat or even hold a conversation with people.
The only worse lighting experience is Sugar Factory at Foxwoods Resort in CT. Every birthday celebration they start strobing ALL the overhead lights on and off. It was literally migraine-inducing.
Eh, you can fit one of these on a commercial dishwasher tray. Spray it out right, flip it over and slide it in the dishwasher. Pretty sure thats what they do, you can see the sani solution residue still on the stainless steel, because they let it air dry.
Commercial dishwashers have cycle times of like 5 minutes. Run that while youre racking plates and cups. We ran big pots, steel cambros and all sorts of big stuff one or 2 at a time regularly.
Ive always used a drop down/hood type. Across service maybe a few larger pieces. Stuff that went empty across a night. MlBut mostly during breakdown and at the end of service. 20ish cambro/steel pans. 6 big pots maybe average. Really depended on the menu. But those were low effort and could stage them quickly, and just run them as cycles ended, while doing other stuff.
It's pretty cool that they obviously just hand wiped this and didn't even bother to polish off the residue. Bonus points for not putting a liner paper in it so that you can dig half of an onion ring out of a dirty drain when you get to the bottom
Yeah this looks like the same stuff you see in every 'fast casual' or whatever they're called type of restaurant. Most of them even do the exact same kitchen sink gimmick (if not the actual sink, at least on the menu it's called by some kitchen sink pun) for a basic appetizer sampler dish.
I used to get this kind of thing at a place called Jungle Jim's. They also had hot wings and made you sign a waiver before eating them. All the food was terrible, but I guess that goes without saying.
you know, there even are inlays that fit perfectly and look the same but can be taken out and cleaned perfectly. But, oh no, never. the cleaning job has to be as annoying as possible with these people
Everything and* the kitchen sink
I’m assuming this appetizer sampler is called “the kitchen sink” on the menu and tourists freak the fuck out over it.
“Only in NewYork, am I right hahahaha!🥂”
Thinking more like Barton G in Miami.
Wow. I’ve been there. I remember thinking it was so gimmicky

Damn I'm glad I'm not their pot washer... Talk about making an easy job difficult lol
"What do I do with the sink?"
"Ah, just toss it in the sink, I'll clean it later."

One at a time? Not very efficient

Some have conveyors so dishes are always moving through them.

How many of those were there, and how often did you do that per shift?
This is like washing serving plates one at a time, which you probably wouldn't want to be doing during peak hours.
I dunno, maybe not many people order this, where it might be feasible. But if it got popular it'd be a problem.

Or talk about how you make sure a difficult job is NEVER done correctly.
That was my exact first thought
Think about what the dishie has to go thru to remove condiments from the plumbing fixtures, just think about that.
I wonder how much storage space these take in the kitchen.
Nothing more appetizing than seeing my food.. in the kitchen sink??
This whole setup just makes me uncomfortable, I would never eat out of the sink. If something falls in there, I have to throw it out.

It couldn't be less appetizing!

Yeah the food was actually pretty good ngl
I’m like 90% sure those are Sysco fries, tenders, and onion rings. The sauces I would have to taste but they may or may not have been made in house.
If you liked the food it’s fine but hopefully you didn’t pay too much for this!

How many times do I have to tell you people, the handwashing sink is only for handwashing!
r/tihi and r/horribletoclean
When you own a restaurant, you owe the mob money, and they make you buy stainless handwashing sinks that fell off a truck.
So glad you posted that second pic. I had no idea what was happening….
Lol they look almost the same to me but I’m glad it helped you understand what you were looking at!
I think this is the worst thing I’ve seen in this sub.

Oh hey there b'y
these sinks always remind me of the kind youd see in a mortuary, it really turns my stomach to see food in them
Anyone who thinks those are really being washed every time is delusional
No fucking way
Do they also pee in the sink?
you know, there even are inlays that fit perfectly and look the same but can be taken out and cleaned perfectly. But, oh no, never. the cleaning job has to be as annoying as possible with these people
Ugh
At least it’s NSF listed, which is more than one can say for most of what shows up on this sub.
The NSF listing is for dispensing water. Using it for tarter sauce is unlikely to be NSF approved.
NSF speaks to ease of cleaning/sanitizing also but I was clearly not taking in the extra wood components and the attendant cracks and crevices. woof
Bet that shit was like $30 dollars too smh
If sauce did come out, I might actually like it. :p
(Just kidding... No way it'd be cleaned well enough that I'd trust eating from it... But the idea is a little neat.)
Wtf?
Let that sink in.
r/WTFaucet is leaking
So this is what Americans do with sinks instead of washing their filthy hands
I want to pay with a fishbowl full of pennies and fish.
That’s expensive plating for a fucking app.
wonder how much that weighs
If sauce came out of the tap, it would be the coolest plate ever.

Deep fried beige food in a sink.
What could look more appetising?
🤣🤣🤣 You are absolutely right! For all of that, the sauce(s) should have come out of the faucet!!
Definitely a missed opportunity
Would have worked well in a hospital setting
So you expected the sauce that is clearly visible in disposable cups on the side to somehow be pressurized to come out of the faucet?
No, honestly I expected a plate
I kind of think this is cool
It's kinda cool, but yeah no
It's just fried food, this looks incredibly easy to clean
