I wouldnt trust sevices like ubereats or doordash - whats to say the delivery person aint dipping into your food or toucing it in some way. Besides, its the ultimate in lazy - its bad enough if you dont cook or produce your own food, now some people cant even bother to pick-up the take-out. We are enslaved by convenience and will end up like that cartoon flick 'WALL-E'.
I think it was to hide how hideous the palomino steak
Palomilla? Or was it a palomino horse steak?
They had the best Cuban coffee around and the only Cuban joint around that still served Cuban toast.(about a 1/4 loaf of Cuban bread slathered in butter, and pressed in a "FLAT" sandwich press). Their breakfast was always cheap. Although I would admit, it didn't always make a beautiful plate, 2 runny eggs, 1 of those hash brown patties, and a couple strips of bacon. Their thin steak or Chicken breast sandwich, on Cuban bread, with the potato sticks, lettuce and tomato, was always on point.
I haven't been their years, so I asked my daughter if she wanted to go there for lunch today.
The food, the menu, the vibe, all of it has changed. Not to mention the prices, gone were the cheap breakfast, and replaced with more premium expensive options. Mostly Omelets, and other food that can sit for up to an hour and be delivered stone cold, and still look like it did when it was warm.
So now since the sorry fucks that work there, are use to food that has Rigor mortis not being returned, they think they can let your food sit out and get cold before they get off their socializing break and bring it to you (We dined in).
I got the steak sandwich and they fried up the meat that is about 1/3 of the thickness that it used to be, to the point it was hard and dry as fuck. I still don't why they fried up potato stix to the point that they were dark brown and put it on the sandwich. I think it was to hide how hideous the palomino steak looked under it. It sorta looked like caramelized onions which it was not. The fries are the seasoned double cooked fries, they look better cold than regular fries, they get soggy looking when they are cold. You can look at a fry and see that it's cold and not worth a shit. So they did all of this food magic to the food to make this cold ass meal look good, even though I should have sent back and walked out on it.
As looks were deceiving, nothing worse than eating the meal I ordered cold.
Then it hit me, many restaurants were forced into stepping up their game to make fake food look good and they had to raise their prices to give Uber Eats and Door Dash their cut. That's why all of these breakfast places went from $4.99 for starting prices on their menus, to prices starting at $8.99. I can't think of any place that still makes the same food the same way, as they did 5 years ago. I have been eating at these places for 30 years. The prices may change, but the food was always consistent.
The useless lazy sorry fucks that Door Dash breakfast has fucked the TEAM!
I hope these joints thinks it was worth it, I'll never be back At least serve me the shit hot!
