I called to place a takeout order for my husband who is terminally ill and wanted to order from there, I spoke with the manger who was so rude to me, he was not interested at all in the order that I was about to place. I planned on spending a lot of money just to get what we wanted. My husband wanted a creme brule, but he would not make it for us… he said it would not be any good and would taste like crap. I was totally astounded by his attitude, especially from a manager. I will not go there again, and have told everyone I know this story… I ended up ordering from a different restaurant, they were so friendly and we got our Creme Brule. —Lynn

Mention this in the Resto revue section, so we can boycott this mean spirited prick.
Thanks

had dis womin not said about her husban terminl ilness den i bet ur response wud be differnt. not to make lite of terminl ilness jus pointin out clear bias based on emotional response….or sum shit….i dun even kno!
Works for me ‘zilla. I tried being reasonable once; didn’t like it a bit. >; )
i’m curious, what does one put a creme brule in for take out?
cardboard ramekin?
or do you build the ceramic ramekin into the price?
the creme caramel would work, but a brule idk http://content5.videojug.com/35/358b27e4-b… http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lbxl89TN…
ya, I dunno… I use my stomach as a creme brule takeout container.
He actually said it would taste like crap? This sounds like a good place to prank call.
What was the point? You don’t like this place? And…?! You’re entitled to something because you’re husband is dying? Really?! Dumb cunt.
People missing/ignoring the point of the bitch….check.
Someone insulting the bitcher….check.
All we need now is a troll post from myself, PK comment fucking tommy, and someone (lets not kid ourselves here….its me) talking about fucking someones mother. After all that happens it will be a typical shitty bitch that happens almost daily on this website.

You’re a typical shitty bitch Zilla
yes o.p., there is indeed a review column here, use the fucking thing to give douchebg thier due.
I know, right? The manager could have asked OP to bring a ramekin, or charged $5 extra, or given it to you unbaked and taught you how to brown it with a propane torch…many options besides the one he took.
the propane would be safer than making the caramel. i almost burnt the bake shop down, true story
My woman baked me a chocolate pumpkin cinnamon cake it was fucking amazing. She made it for my birthday. Turned 24 yesterday, Holy fuck I’m old.
pumpkin praline cheesecake, that is all

Caramel is definitely a bitch to make right and will be a nightmare if you get the boiling stuff on you. If you ever thought oil burns were bad, you never saw sugar burns.
Discovered the joy of home caramel making while (successfully) attempting to make caramel&pumpkin spice mousse tarts. (recipe was on MetroNews, seems unavailable right now)
you have definitely been cooking for a while, a man of many talents. i compare cooking sugar to lava
I can see that the manager would say it would be crap and a waste. He is proud of their product, it’s not Rotten Ronnie’s. He was trying to warn you. As for how he said it, we only have the OB’s word and in my experience when someone doesn’t get what they want they can be very nasty and hear or imagine hearing what they want to hear.
I have to agree on the comparison to lava. That stuff is vicious. My love of food is my greatest curse; both its preparation and its consumption. I should do a bit less of the latter.
In response to the pumpkin praline cheesecake, I can only counter with either eggnog cheesecake, Nutella Rocher pudding cake for the chocoholics or, an old family secret, layered mocha chocolate cream cake.
At least the manager was being honest. I wasn’t familiar with Creme Brule so I looked it up. Flavoured custard and hard caramel? Served cold? That might have been tricky as a take-out or delivery. Glad your husband got his dessert in the end though. Another happy bitch! Not you OP, I meant the story.
gotta love the propane torch, Painey! How I browned 30 baked alaskas back in the day…
and since the smell was added to propane, fewer folks have their facial hair burned off
Where’s the fun in that? The challenge? No risk, no tasty, tasty glory I say.
yea..creme brule doesn’t travel well..
-Make Jell-o instant vanilla pudding as per package instructions.
-Pour into disposable sundae or parfait cups.
-Leave in fridge for 1-2 weeks.
-Let thick layer of pudding skin form on top.
Voila! Take-away creme brule and no one gets burned…(except for the poor sucker who paid $7.95 for it, that is!)
^^^ grooooooooosssssssss!
Someone left a bag of smart food in the board room.
This shit is WAY better than cream brule! nomnomnom *watches hips get exponentially larger*
Best start to the morning EVER!
haha, vastie, reminds me of the pudding skins from seinfeld http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lm841vE2…
Mmmmmmm….pudding skins!
it always amazes me when they make the sugar silk stuff on iron chef….
holding those hot strands with their bare hands.
crazy skillful
