The worst is "no worries." I'll get it for you "no worries." I'm not worried and I hope you're "not worried." You're the waitress- just get the stupid food, already. Stop worrying about it.

Cannot agree MORE with this ^^^ My Lord, people, put your stupid phones down and LOOK at the person and/or people you have gone to the restaurant with. TALK to them- y'all remember how to talk, right? It always baffles me to see a group of people or a family at a restaurant table and they're engrossed with their stupid iPhones. My husband and I went our for our anniversary a few years ago to an expensive place and the couple next to us literally didn't talk to each other the entire time but rather sat and played with their phones. Probably a $200+ meal and they didn't even talk! We have a strict policy- NO PHONES when we are out to eat, period.

I've also noticed that eggs, chipotles and pork belly are everywhere these days. I actually like all three of those things but after awhile it almost gets funny to see them on every menu

Why does it concern you what other people do?

I really feel sorry for those folks who go out to dinner and sit there banging away on their phones.

You'd see a lump of jiggly, unrendered pork fat.

Sure they're not Australian? lol

(if so, it doesn't mean they're worried about it )

Which is exactly what I visualize! Checking on Google, there is wonder why anyone still eats bacon when pork belly is available. Who knew? Not I!

I watch Top Chef on Bravo and those contestants are usually using what is current and "hot" in top line restaurants--no soft eggs as I recall this past season...
Adding soft eggs as toppers was big a couple of seasons ago ago so I think a restaurant doing that now is a little behind the curve...
