    I always compliment the waiter is the food is good, they are usually happy to hear it, especially in small places where the chef is their partner

      Me too. For me, this feels one dimensional, like a story where everything is good and wholesome, and nothing bad ever happens. It feels incomplete.

    Oooooooh I have a similar story.

    Went to this awesome winery for a lunch, and one of the courses had some special kind of leaves that taste like oysters.

    They were delicious, and the waitress was the one who grew them in her garden! She was stoked that we said so. She didn't have photos but it was a real cool experience.

    I actually had a very similar experience nearby in Lucca, not far from Florence and Pisa. Only it was tomatoes in the pizza sauce. It was amazing, but have no recollection of the name of the restaurant.

      My best experience in an italian restaurant was in a small fishermen restaurant in Conca dei Marini. Shit was kind of lost in the middle of nowhere, I don't even think it had a name. But it was the most delicious meal on my whole trip. Chef kiss

      Having traveled quite a bit in Mexico, Belize, and Guatemala, those hole in the wall restaurants are just THE BEST. And you can usually tell when it's the owners running it themselves. Compliments go a long way in those places and by god do they almost always have amazing food.

    That's nice! If you can afford the real olive oil buy it. There is a reason an $80 dollar (1 liter bottle) of olive olive vs an $12 dollar one of same, is similar to the difference between riding Maybach and a Lada.

    Fuck ice buckets. Compliment someone a day for a week challenge.

    Looking at you, Tokkers. My online existence isn't powerful enough and I am only here for the sarcasm and crushing of grapes and fascism when time is available.

    Bonus points if it is without any context.

    IE: Step on to an elevator. Standing staring at the back and just say "you all look great today". don't move until top floor or until car is empty.
