Steak 'N Shake Server Gets a Whopping 7,000% Tip

Emerald Catron — Sun, 19 May 2013 13:00:43 +0000

CeCe Bruce had been working at a Steak n’ Shake in Indiana for two years when she received the tip of a lifetime. After watching Bruce deal with some rude customers, a regular tipped $446 on her $5.96 check — that’s a 7,000 percent tip. The customer, who would rather maintain a low profile, does [...]

Ryan O'Bryan — Fri, 17 May 2013 21:00:11 +0000

If you’ve ever watched Diners, Drive-Ins, & Dives on Food Network, or a similarly themed show, and thought owning a restaurant would be a fun, exciting, and rewarding adventure, here’s a chance to turn that thought into a reality. I’m not an expert on running a business, but I think you’d be hard-pressed to find a better [...]

Fresh Seafood? In Newburgh, Indiana? Get it at The Tin Fish [REVIEW]

Ryan O'Bryan — Fri, 08 Feb 2013 20:30:12 +0000

Tucked away in downtown Newburgh sits an unassuming building serving up the freshest seafood you’ll find outside the coastal United States. A good friend of mine had told me a few months back that he and his wife had visited The Tin Fish on Jennings Street in Newburgh on a few occasions and had yet [...]

For many of us, Thanksgiving dinner takes place at the dining room table. But if your family’s tradition involves going to local restaurant instead, you should understand the risk factors involved in breaking bread with hundreds, possibly thousands, of other people who might not be as hygienic as you. At a restaurant, the biggest risk [...]

See How McDonald's Fries Are Made [VIDEO]

Ryan O'Bryan — Mon, 22 Oct 2012 21:51:50 +0000

Despite what you may think, they are made from actual potatoes. Crispy, salty, delicious potatoes. Say what you will about Mickey D’s, but when it comes to French Fries, in my opinion, there are few, if any, who can hold a candle to deep-fried potato-stick masterpieces. As the father of an eight and six year [...]

J. Gumbo's Brings Flavor of the Bayou to Evansville's East Side – Ryan O'Bryan's Review

Ryan O'Bryan — Tue, 16 Oct 2012 19:26:25 +0000

As they say in Cajun country, “Whooo-wheee!” For my wife and I, J. Gumbo’s has been that restaurant we drive past time and time again and say, “We need to try that place next time we’re looking for something to eat.” Then the “next time we’re looking for something to eat,” we forget it’s there [...]

The Wendy’s logo is getting a makeover for the first time since 1983, as the Ohio based burger chain steers its focus on becoming known as a high-end hamburger restaurant. The new logo shies away from the almost-30-year-old boxed in, red-and-yellow burger badge with a distinguished new red font against a plain white background and [...]

Do You Tip? [POLL]

Nino NCognito — Wed, 01 Aug 2012 00:00:02 +0000

In the movie Reservoir Dogs, Mr. Pink I think it was said "Why would I give someone EXTRA money for doing a job I'm already paying them to do?' or something close to that effect. And now that I've had a taste of the tip-dependent life, I wanna know, DO YOU TIP?

Ryan O'Bryan — Sat, 21 Jul 2012 07:32:21 +0000

A scantily-clad town, get’s a scantily-clad name. Upon spotting an ad on Craigslist to purchase the tiny town of BankerSmith, Texas, crafty Restaurateur Doug Guller saw an opportunity to promote his establishment. The self-proclaimed “breastaurateur” bought the unincorporated town and renamed it, Bikinis, Texas after the Hooter’s-style, Bikinis Sports Bar and Grill, chain of restaurants [...]

Huge Fight at a Chinese Restaurant – [VIDEO]

Big Boy — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 15:49:39 +0000

This video was filmed from a cell phone at a Canadian Chinese restaurant and I think it is awesome. I am a huge fan of buffets and have been to quite a few in my time here on earth but have never encountered anything like this. I will say that if anyone ever cuts in front [...]
