I ordered from a place where the crab ragoons came in a ziploc bag.
I still think about that meal.
That kid could be the kid at the place up the road. Don’t kid yourself that kid know more about what you want than you do.
The Shelby’s treatment.
“You want za zchicken? I give you something bedder. Come to za back!!!”
I dont understand this kind of photos. Why do you just photgraph random people and load it up to the internet? Especially if they are a kids/teenagers and are feelling obviously unwell about it …Kind of a dick move. And Im not talking about the arrogant joke garnished with racism
Has anyone ever told you that you’re too sensitive?
I agreed until you called this racist, this is just observational humor about hole in the wall/family owned restaurants. Joke good, photographing kids bad. Even if OP is hypothetically racist, nothing racial was said so you are reaching for offense here
Its a Joke about a family living on the edge of poverty. The kids have to work in the business instead of doing their homework in a quiet place or go playing. And the joke is not working on the level “were are all in this shit hole together”, this would be fine. No it the arrogant “hey look at this poor kid living in this shit hole. Hahaha. Now bring me my food” level.
The racism is just the garnishment on top. Playing the cliches of people from asia.
Why do you think they’re on the edge of poverty? That’s the most racist part of your post, IMO.
Brother that’s more racist than the joke. You presumed everything based on your existing bias/prejudice.
Ok, so explain the joke to me. On what lvl is it supposed to work then?
Ah you’re simple, sorry I didn’t realize.
I’ll repeat what someone already said, read it slow now: Hole in the wall family owned Asian cuisine is typically way better than a large corporate Asian cuisine restaurant.
So the picture of a 13(?) year old kid inside a unpolished takeaway with the text “better done his homework” is a glorification of “family owned asian cuisine”? I dunno. I think this would look different
Admittedly I didn’t see the title. Just the caption in the image. Regardless, you seeing it different says more about you than anything else.
Only racist thing here is your mind bruh
Playing jokes on racial cliches, even if the cliches are positive, are still racist
You are assuming it’s a race thing at all. So you think this same photo where the restaurant was a family owned burger joint and the kid at the cash register was white that suddenly wouldn’t be racist? That makes you the racist. You clocked the race of the child and presumed a whole lot of information that was not given to you. How do you know this isn’t a summer job? How do you know the actual age of the kid? He could be 16 with a slower development. There’s so much that you are assuming based solely off of your experience around Asians and Asian restaurants.
People don’t understand that.
The food gets a +10 buff if the kid has to stop doing their homework from the table on the corner to take your order and goes back to it after
+5 if their little sibling is riding a tricycle around the restaurant
+10 if the little sibling answers the phone
If you add a couple of toddlers in a fenced off corner, you’ve just described my local Chinese restaurant to a T.
That places food is beyond amazing.
+20 if the bouncer is a baby
The hole in the wall mexican food joint in my town that I love occasionally has a 12? year old girl at the register, and the other mexican food place that is staffed purely with adults doesn’t season their food, so this tracks.
I happened upon a Mexican place in Belvedere Illinois. I knew it was a good sign when they brought 3 bottles of salsa with basic homemade labels and chips that did not appear to have come from a bag. Then I spotted that the menu differentiated between Mexican style and American style tacos. Then to take our orders a man who appeared to be at least 80 and a teenager came up with the teenager translating for him.
Naturally the food was to die for. I have a feeling I’ll be eating there every time I drive through Belvedere
When the old white man asks for help to order from a stranger, you know it’s gonna be good.
You know it’s real authentic when you hand your credit card to an 11-year-old 😆
If you ever go to Ottawa, there’s a noodle bar in the ByWard Market that’s amazing. The guy stretches the noodles the moment you ask. Simple ingredients, amazing taste.
If you don’t want to post the name here, message me it because I’m kind of curious if I’m thinking about the same place hahaha
I THINK It’s Wang’s Noodle House, but I can’t be sure.
What’s this place called?
I actually don’t know. I was passing by and hungry. They’re very small, with like four or five tables only. But I’ll make sure I’ll go back there next time I’m in the city.
Edit: Looking at photos, I THINK it’s Wang’s Noodle House.
I must go to Ontario
What’s in Ontario?
Ottawa!
Quick edit; good username
I was expecting Canadian Bacon!
