Speaker 1 (00:01):
These are the radio blocks on the Fresh Show. I mean,
sometimes it's good to know your limitation. Yeah, you know,
like our diaries, except we said them aloud. We call
them blogs. Kinky go.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
All right, dear blog, I need some help. This is
an etiqueue question for the room and for the thirteen.
Let's just figure out what are we doing at restaurants
when we're out with our fancy friends?

Speaker 3 (00:22):
Are we taking to go boxes?

Speaker 2 (00:24):
Because I was out at a dinner the other day
with two very fancy men, very fancy, and you know,
the meal was delicious.

Speaker 3 (00:32):
Don't get me wrong.

Speaker 2 (00:32):
I was enjoying my meal, but I was full at
one point, and so the waitress just took it upon
herself to box my food and bring it back to
the table. What I noticed, my two fancy friends did
not take a box home. And so I'm like, is
this trifling? Like should I not have a to go box?
Because I noticed that some you know, higher extralaum people,

(00:56):
they like you know, they.

Speaker 3 (00:57):
Don't take to go boxes. They don't take left on.

Speaker 4 (01:00):
Wait a minute, I was at this dinner, soho who
was higher Exelon Trevor. Yes, I was wearing Daddy Trap,
Daddy Trip I mean he is higher echelon.

Speaker 1 (01:07):
He's an executive, high level executive.

Speaker 3 (01:09):
It never takes leftovers.

Speaker 4 (01:11):
I well guess because I usually have already licked the plate,
so there's nothing left.

Speaker 1 (01:15):
You don't eat Sometimes No, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:19):
I'm cringing on it, like what's the right thing to do.
I was in New York eating with another fancy person
and the salad was so faia and I didn't get
to finish it, and I really really wanted I even
thought about going back to this place after.

Speaker 3 (01:32):
I was like, I wanted to bite again.

Speaker 2 (01:35):
Right.

Speaker 3 (01:35):
It was so good.

Speaker 2 (01:36):
But I'm noticing, like my friends who have money, they
don't take the goat boxes.

Speaker 3 (01:42):
So I think I need to stop.

Speaker 4 (01:43):
This has nothing to do with money. First of all,
I ate most of the food you need it this.
Second of all, were I was going to work to
do something else, and so I had no place to
put it. Third of all, we were going back to
a hotel after all of that, which did have a refrigerator,
but we were leaving first thing the next morning, So
I guess I don't know when I would have consumed
said food such that I that I will take food

(02:05):
home if I'm going straight home to my house. Okay,
but I will not necessarily take food home because again
this is the woman who and I'm sorry, but I
booked the hotel and there was no microwave in the room,
which I know is a major fail for Kiki because
she wants microwaves in the room. What's funny is like
it was a nice hotel, nicer hotel, the nicer hotels,

(02:27):
they don't put microwaves in the road.

Speaker 1 (02:30):
Yeah, I think it's just one and.

Speaker 4 (02:32):
Modern hotels don't do it either, because I think it's
just one more thing to break and have to fix.
But I should look on the I should look on
the bill and see if you ordered one to the room.

Speaker 2 (02:40):
No, I did not because I didn't want to take
my leftovers because I feel like it's not the proper
thing to do anymore, and so no one has like
really set a firm standard with this.

Speaker 3 (02:50):
It's kind of like, you know, some people take your leftovers.

Speaker 1 (02:53):
If you want to take your leftover, what's proper? Though?

Speaker 4 (02:55):
Now the only other thing is like, are you going
back to the hotel. You're gonna have to carry these
things around all the nation matters.

Speaker 1 (03:01):
Exacting factors like I don't want to be doing things
after dinner.

Speaker 4 (03:05):
And I'm carrying around, right, I've got a shopping bag
with it, you know, half eaten carcass of chicken.

Speaker 3 (03:10):
But but if I am going home and I'm out
to eat, is it still proper to take it? Doesn't
feel proper. But you know how much I love food,
so I take it, but I call it out.

Speaker 5 (03:20):
You know, I don't like an elephant, so I'll be like,
is it weird if I take this?

Speaker 3 (03:23):
And then they'll be like, no, go ahead, And then
I take it and they talk about it. It is
not weird to take They do talk about you when
you leave, but you have leftover.

Speaker 4 (03:30):
It is not weird to take leftovers home. Now now, Texas,
What did he say? What did Daddy Trav say? He
is the president of of He's actually the president of
the United States.

Speaker 1 (03:41):
He's not.

Speaker 4 (03:41):
He's the president of our operations in Charlotte and Raleigh.

Speaker 3 (03:45):
Yes, Daddy trumb who we call Daddy for some reason,
he's not.

Speaker 1 (03:48):
He's younger than me, but I call him.

Speaker 3 (03:51):
He says, was totally not judging the leftovers. Dot dot dot.
I also have no money.

Speaker 4 (03:58):
Don't the idea that you know much richer people than us. Okay,
and by much richer. You know, most people are richer
than us.

Speaker 2 (04:05):
It was a nice restaurant. You guys are very classy man,
and I was just wondering, like, am I a ratchet?

Speaker 1 (04:10):
No one is ever called being classy man? But thank you, no,
thank you very much.

Speaker 5 (04:13):
Did you take them?

Speaker 1 (04:14):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (04:14):
I did, but but I didn't ask for the girl
just you know, packaged it up, and I didn't want
to make her feel bad.

Speaker 3 (04:20):
So yeah, I didn't eat them.

Speaker 1 (04:21):
Though it looked good.

Speaker 5 (04:22):
It was.

Speaker 3 (04:23):
It was really delicious. It was a great restaurant.

Speaker 2 (04:25):
And since the daddy Trev was listening, he also made
me walk from our event to the said restaurant.

Speaker 4 (04:33):
And you know.

Speaker 1 (04:35):
You didn't like that.

Speaker 3 (04:37):
No, we had to walk up hill in Charlotte, Like
what are we doing? No, it is We're just.

Speaker 1 (04:43):
Walking and talking. And some reason she was I don't
know walk you got her carabine out and everything. I
don't know what's going on.

Speaker 4 (04:52):
By the way, walking to the restaurant means we could
see the restaurants. I could basically see where we were going.
It was four blocks. An uber would have been embarrassing,
done it. Jason wouldn't know it's true.

Speaker 1 (05:08):
We would have called the new Bear.

Speaker 3 (05:10):
Yeah, you guyn't get it your body movie.

Speaker 5 (05:12):
I can walk?

Speaker 3 (05:13):
Okay, this is before you didn't like to walk?

Speaker 1 (05:19):
Laura. Hi, Laura, good morning? How are you?

Speaker 5 (05:22):
Good morning?

Speaker 1 (05:22):
How are you guys? Laura? Thanks for calling.

Speaker 4 (05:24):
You're a chef and and what are your thoughts on
to go taking food home from a restaurant.

Speaker 5 (05:30):
I absolutely judge men if they don't, I judge them
if they don't, because you pay so much money for
a piece of meat you might as well just give
it to your dog or something. Someone will eat it.

Speaker 4 (05:42):
Okay, okay, Laura, why have you let me ask you
about this hot take too? Because I think it was
Tom Khaliky, one of these like TV chefs. I mean,
he's a legitimate chef, but he's on top chef. I
heard him recently going to rant about how he can't
stand the trend of people ordering like three or four
items being an apple or entrees and then sharing them.

(06:02):
He doesn't like that because, like he believes that each
plate is its own ensemble and like you should have
your own plate and eat it the way like as
opposed to when people share, they kind of like start
clawing away at the part they want, you know what
I mean?

Speaker 1 (06:17):
Do you feel this way? Laura? As a chef?

Speaker 3 (06:19):
And then well, I did cook for Tom Kulikio one
see that.

Speaker 5 (06:23):
Yeah, he came to my restaurant and he was really nice.
He ordered one dish ironically, But I think that if
you're going with a group of people, you should absolutely
share and eat whatever the heck you want. That's how
I taste a lot of things. When I go out
to eat, I bring two people and then we try
seven or eight things, and that way you get the field.

Speaker 4 (06:40):
I feel the same way, like if I'm with a
bunch of people that's order a bunch of stuff, maybe
everyone gets their own maine or something, but then we
share other things. Because but I kind of understood what
he was saying, because you go to like a nicer
restaurant and the way they play it and the way
that the sauce and everything, like, you're not really getting
the full experience if everyone's taking a spoonful of it.
So I guess, yeah, but then you know, most of

(07:01):
us can't order half the menu, so we got to
kind of share if we want to try different things.

Speaker 5 (07:04):
Yes, Laura, that really does resonate because you know, when
you like our server and you chase everything one day
before you start your ship sort of thing like a
menu case thing, you literally don't get the feel for
everything because a is cold by that point, and you're like,
I forgot everything, So yeah, I get that too. You

(07:24):
don't focus on the ensemble of the plate.

Speaker 1 (07:27):
Are you involved in a police officer right now? Or
is everything? Do you need to call a lawyer?

Speaker 5 (07:31):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (07:31):
No, it's just no, No, You're good.

Speaker 5 (07:33):
Just to job.

Speaker 4 (07:34):
I recommend pulling over, okay, because these things never end well,
they always they tend to find you all the time, Laura, Like,
you're not going to outrun the news choppers, so just
pull over and peacefully, uh give yourself up.

Speaker 1 (07:47):
Okay, yes, sEH, you got it all right, well Laura
A good guys.

Speaker 4 (07:53):
That was interesting though, because I kind of saw what
he was. I kind of know what he meant. But
at the same time, it's like, or you just want
to sell more plates of food?

Speaker 3 (08:00):
Me I love to share and try and yeah, but
you know they.

Speaker 4 (08:04):
Get all fancy now with like you know they put
three different sauces and three different parts of the plate.
You're supposed to, don't you know what I mean? Yeah,
not the places I go. As I go, it's wrapped
in it's paper exactly. It's it's this grease. Everybody's the
same because it's a hamburger.
