Not sure how old you are, but if you're near my age, you forgot about the slice of Velveeta!

There is one, and only one kind of cheese that is acceptable for a burger: American.

Peas and sauerkraut are pure evil in vegetable form.

Different kinds of leftover pizza cannot share the same Tupperware, even if they’re not touching. Because then my delicious cheese pizza starts to taste like my wife’s green pepper and onion pizza.

Jack. Isn’t. Bourbon.

My personal food rules? I hate it when they put meat on potatoes or vegetables. Put it on the actual plate so my food doesn't "smush" when I cut it.

A simple like doesn't go close to expressing how much I agree with this. I'm stealing this line for my own use.

Normally, I don’t care what anyone does with their meat. Live and let live!
Something about this just disgusted me. Ewwwwww.
Anyone else witness an assault on food decency?

I'm pretty sure the assault on food decency occurred when he ordered his pastrami on white bread.

Me too! Though it reminds me of being in a restaurant in Long Beach several years ago. I kiddingly said to the waitress, "A class place like this doesn't serve Coke products?"

Her response, "McDonald's is just down the street." :D

I vaguely recall someone in my family seeing a sign in an East Coast deli once that said something like "Mayo is served on sandwiches only to those who can show proof of North Dakota residency."

Ouch!

Any Aussies reading the thread will know there is actually a worse thing than Pepsi. I don't think it's around any more (thank god) but there used to be an abomination called Schweppes Cola found in some places in Australia (only on the multi dispensing soda guns). This stuff was so sickly sweet it made Pepsi seem like a good option. Some friends and I walked out on a round of 5 rum and (supposedly) cokes in one place after the first sip. Luckily 3 of them were bigger than the bouncer, so we had no real problems except verbals. The manager admitted in the end that we were not the first to do so and he was re-considering whether the cheap cost was more trouble than it was worth.

That is an excellent response. To me, it's simple...the server is telling you they don't carry Coke and trying to be helpful by suggesting an alternative. If you don't want it, simply choose something else. I know it's not the same thing, but in terms of asking for something not on the menu, I hardly ever go to KFC and order a cheeseburger :D

Besides, if you're from the southern US, everything's a Coke anyway!

My most recent rule is that if I can put Ssamjang on it... I'm putting Ssamjang on it. (Savory anyway... probably wouldn't put it on Ice Cream)

But basically my only rule is:
1) No blue cheese of any variety. Ever.

My partner refers to it as "foot cheese." You can probably figure out why. :)

Did you just reveal the secret recipe for the special sauce?

So do you ask the server how the dish is platted so as to "ward-off" the potential conflict? FYI, I love when my meat has a nice surprise underneath or is smothered an covered.

No Mr. Pibb is not the same as Dr. Pepper. One is the Coca Cola knockoff and the other is the Original Pepper.

They're both carbonated prune juice.
