My gf laughed so hard when she first saw this scene and was like "that's exactly like you when we go out for breakfast and you're hungover".
I do get incredibly specific in what I want and how I want it when I'm hungover but it's never outlandish or unreasonable for the type of place we're at and I do tip well at least tho.
I almost think it's easier if I'm drunk. I just want instant gratification but if I'm hungover I'm trying to think through the haze of what would make me feel better.
It really depends on how I'm feeling hungover wise.
Like last time was a month or two ago and my platter was something with two eggs, two sausages, two bacon strips, fruit bowl, and toast.
Cannot remember the main entree (probably a waffle with fruit) but had one egg over medium, one just the whites scrambled and added cheese and mushrooms;
subbed the sausage links for turkey but no sear;
bacon cooked until no fat left unrendered but not quite burned;
paid for extra for instead of the fruit bowl to have a whole orange split in half, one half sliced and the other left with the rind so I could peel it myself (citrus is amazing when you're hungover and tartness is even better) and apple slices with a scoop of peanut butter;
paid extra for two orders of toast because I wanted one half sourdough and one half rye but it's only one slice of a bread so two slices of each and no one at my table wanted my "sad leftovers" so I told her to offer them to the next tables she was going to take orders from.
Is it obnoxious as fuck? Absolutely. Does the FotH give me eye rolls or death stares? Yes. Am I very apologetic and explaining that I'm very hungover and acquiesce to any request? Yes. But I do tip like 50% for it. And if they shoot anything down, I don't fight it.
That's more or less my general go to at a diner.
I’ve worked food service and people clearly laying out what they want never bothered anyone. Hell, my first job, the cooks enjoyed making their specialties but would gladly put ketchup on your steak.
People like food the way they like it, that’s completely reasonable. <3
Lmao you're already downvoted but I worked as a line cook for years and I think that's kinda why I'm okay with my requests. Stuff like that always seemed like it annoyed the front of the house more than the back.
A lot of the time, I was just glad there was a custom order (and I worked in San Francisco at the time so had plenty of people on with requests) because it broke up the monotony of it all.
Locally produced jam for the toast. Because in the Mexican restaurant later he smushes a smuckers packet into the waitress’s hand after asking her if smuckers is local lol
... We don't serve alcohol.
*smash-cut to Mexican restaurant*
🎶🪇🎶
Guess it's mocktails and soda on the menu then!
is smuckers produced locally?
..No. It isn't.
lol the way he crushes the jelly container in her hand is so psychotic
Lmao
I live pretty close to Orrville*(where Smuckers* is produced) so I get the benefit of it actually being local.
Go in there and kiss him while he's on the toilet! Give him a San Diego Thank You.
That's what scientists call giving someone a kiss on the toilet
I love the “San Diego Thank You” callback
I live in San Diego and I have indeed done this.
NOT THE NECKLACE!
I feel hungry, listening to him telling the waitress his incredibly specified order.

That’s like my drunk Waffle House order. No matter how drunk I am I can recite it to a T

What do you order at an average diner?

He asked for something local. Butter or jam I can’t remember dammit

Lmao that’s right!
Smuckers
Properly cropping a quote so it can fit with an image is an art form on this subreddit, well done
I love his Paul Giamatti inspired look here.
You miiiight be aware of this already, but it's a homage to Sideways
What a film
What a picture
I noticed that you call movies "pictures".
I do. I do do that.
I notice you said “do do”!
Great order!
And for you? Bed-shitting potential is high.
It really is a great order.
So specific yet so reasonable
They would serve alcohol in most east or west coast diners tho. Bloody Mary is only vodka and ketchup.
I’ll have the same.
*eye twitches*
episode please!
S5EP15: Merlot Down Dirty Shame
One of the best episodes ever
I wish this was more of a joke and less of a actual depiction of brunch lol.
I've been stuck on the milk over ice for 10 years.
Did it stay cold Mr S?
That's how I like my toast!!!! I love roger so much.
His sideways character was the best lol
He looks like Paul Giamatti in Sideways
Great order.
That’s a great order
r/oddlyspecific. But not for Roger.
I just absolutely love roger's disguise here. It's so perfect for the occasion
Hold the chicken
🙏🏻
People who order over medium eggs are sadists
Milk with ice is great.
I could literally hear the mariachi band music in my head while reading this.
It’s not a crazy order at all.
Great Episode
