We need to talk about buttered noodles

[Anonymous]

This has got to be one of the silliest threads in recent DCUM history, and that is saying something.

Judgemental waitress is crazy & very insecure lol. I used to waitress 15 or so years ago too, and I didn't pay such close attention to buttered noodle ordering families. It did seem that the families who brought their own food in for their kids made big messes though, but we had table bussers who cleaned up for us.

I'd never order buttered noodles at a restaurant because it seems like a waste of money. We order from the kids menu because it costs less and my son won't eat the adult size portion, so it would be wasteful. He gets the kids meal and then shares some of whatever dh and I order.

I am pretty sure I'd have no problem with serving buttered noodles for a meal at home. Especially how op described it with the steamed veg.

Guess they didn't cover that at Olive Garden training.

Hint: Not all waitresses are idiots. Lots are lawyers, grad. students, teachers--people who are trained to be critical and to categorize.

Order what you want, and we'll have fun judging and laughing at you.

I got lucky and my kids love to eat a variety of foods - typically off the regular menu. But if they did ever want to order Parmesan noodles I'd be ok with that too. Because I'm not a judgemental bitch.

And if my waitress feels she's too good to graciously serve our order I'm sure that'd be reflected in her tip. And then I'd feel sorry for her that she needs to put down kids just to make herself feel better about her shitty job.

Pretty sure you just proved that you are most definitely a judgmental bitch.

Parmesan noodles =\= buttered noodles. Reading comprehension is your friend.

Seriously. I used to wait tables in college, and those people were THE WORST. Usually wanted me to run around heating up water for bottles , leaving a huge pile of Cheerios and crumbs everywhere, and not tip any extra because there's no charge for that. Our hostess was awesome and usually gave tables with small kids to the new shitty waitresses anyway.

LOL. So a little sprinkling of Parmesan makes it so much better?

Well, it means it's no longer "buttered noodles."

So you categorize them differently? Even noodles can't catch a break. LOL.

You could say that about rolls and butter, too. Or mashed potatoes. Or rice. These are common side dishes in our culture. Are you saying you don't make these things ever? What do you serve for dinner?

I grew up (in the 70s) eating a meat (pork chop, chicken cutlet, slice of ham); a starch side (noodles, rice, biscuit, roll, potatoes), a vegetable side (broccoli, spinach, green beans) and a side salad. I didn't grow up just wanting buttered noodles all the time. This is the same way I feed my children now

What do you all serve, if you don't serve starches like noodles, rice, rolls, potatoes? And how old are your kids?

Op here-I want to know too! Bread/toast and butter is a breakfast staple in my home. Granted I use the sprouted-fancy bread. And my kid can eat the hell out of my mashed potatos.

So you and your kids just eat bread and mash potatoes ever day and that's it? I have never service mashed potatoes and dinner rolls...what is your culture? You a longshoreman or in the army on field excerise burning 2400 calories a day? Hope you give them a stick of butter rolled in brown sugar.

Guess I go in the bitchy smiley face category? Earn enough contempt to spit in my food? I should earn at least a hair.

Then technically it's pasta ai formaggi, so snooty enough to serve to the osso bucco crowd and get a tip

Um, no. Posting a bunch of smileys without any comment is just lame. Also, laughing about you in the kitchen doesn't mean we'd spit in your food. We're not evil, just amused by you.
