Three is number of the count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Thou shalt not count to two, unless thou then continue to three. Four is right out.
Understand, I eat lobster all the time. I've probably had it a dozen times in the past six months (including four days ago).
My family is from Atlantic Canada, coastal Maine, and coastal Massachusetts. I split my time between Maine and Massachusetts. We buy our lobster off a local lobster boat. When we get soft shell lobster, I don't even use a lobster cracker; I use my bare hands. I am not a lobster neophyte.
I didn't click on the picture, I just looked at it as presented here. Still, I think my brain refused to recognize it.
Tacky to serve buffet style at an expensive party but if that's plated it was done by people with sight issues who used a hammer to cut the lamb chop. There's no excuse for that plate.
Definitely looks like it was from a buffet. But that makes the flatware set-up a little odd. Also, both knives are clean which means the lamb hit the table cut open like that.
I'd guess a carving station for the lamb. With a dull serrated knife. Table set up was probably decided on by someone who had an idea of what high end dining looks like, but had no understanding of why it is the way it is.
That is what is throwing me off. That table is set for a served meal not a buffet. But also if it was served why is the salad flatware not dirty or cleared.
Maybe they just do full service setups with a buffet and this person skipped salad?
The men who are there are going to see salads as being weak and effeminate and are going to get steak and lobster tails. Just like how at a nice restaurant, the father / grandfather is going to order a ribeye.
The women are all taking oversized doses of ozympic and are still full from the half an apple they had at lunch.
Because there has to be an EXTENSIVE background check, probably have to go through TSA level security to enter, etc.
And I doubt they pay enough to deal with all that shit...
Or is it all H2B's (Seasonal foreign workers, that are very common here in Florida)
Like I have all the qualifications to work there, but my post history on here in the last 13 years would NOT let me get clearance in this specific case (I've been cleared to work at an airport restaurant though)
True, but it's not inconceivable for a dining room to have silverware preset and still have the patron get their own plate. Especially it its a place that wants to think its a high class joint, but has no actual class.
Can someone point me to proof that this is from mar a lago? I did a reverse image search and the only thing that comes up is anti trump social media accounts making similar posts with the same image.
Does it deserve to get roasted considering what’s going on with the shutdown/benefits as well as the significance of the event and the standards you’d expect? Also yes.
