Phew, we can all breathe a sigh of relief as football season is finally back and in full swing and with that comes anxiety, heart palpitations, and, oh yeah, WINGS! Connecticut might be a small state but man oh man, do our local restaurants know how to represent when it comes to great barbeque and deliciously elevated pub food. Listen, not everyone is a sports fan (which maybe you should reevaluate), but you don’t have to be a fan to enjoy all the chicken wing options that CT has to offer.
It was about time this ridiculous, limited (but slowly working on more) series returned to bring you more of the weird, bizarre, and funny tales in the restaurant industry.
And while edition number one was a hodgepodge of stories from chefs that you know in the general area, this version has a focus…
PIZZERIAS!
This one’s got a few longer stories that I promise are worth reading, a Wu Tang sighting, one video of a chef busting his ass, and plenty of weird customer orders.
And if you’re wondering what volume three might look like, we’re hitting up bartenders because we know there’s plenty of tea there.
How many times have you heard bizarre restaurant requests? How about ridiculous customer orders? What about those tales that are strictly between BOH and FOH staff?
I’m sure you’ve even overheard whispers as a customer or you have firsthand experience in the hospitality industry and you know about all the “crazy” that goes on, but either way, there are some doozies out there!
“Lemme get a bacon cheeseburger, minus the beef and the cheese, with lettuce, tomato, and mayo?”
