"Well she's somebody's ex"
Terry with absolutely zero chill.
Also Aaron handled that very well, Karen probably still won't tip though

[staggerlee]

I worked at an Applebee's, this lady was demanding to know if our salmon was fresh. Now I live in Iowa. I told the server to tell her that we have a bear swatting salmon out of the stream out back every morning. The server's face was priceless

[HeroesHoshi]

Aaron is getting better at handling difficult customers and navigating the complex restaurant politics that's for sure! He didn't even get yelled at by his colleagues!

[jesanne]

Why do I feel so proud for Aaron for showing maturity and growth here

[spencerandrew]

I work in a Cajun restaurant in Wisconsin and we serve alligator. IN WISCONSIN of course it’s from, one time a customer demanded to know if the alligator was fresh, the server told her “yes we keep the alligators in the basement and feed them rude customers” we all died in the kitchen from laughter

Truly thought Joey would pull a whole ass salmon out and slap her with it.

[jillaguilera]

Joey is getting a lot of face time with customers lately. He is ready for an (cue music of doom) OPEN KITCHEN.

[Gamdursol]

I love that Aaron really believes everyone will be happy now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up

[peteno]

The moment Joey walks off Aaron shoves the bill into her hands.

I approve.

I was almost expecting him to come out with a whole salmon and plop it on the table, and question her "is this fresh or frozen?"

I used to work at a Michelin star restaurant. Most people were really nice, just out spending good money to have a fun time. But every night, there would be that one that makes you want to burn humanity down.

[Terp]

The “I should know, I ate at fancy restaurants” guests got me every time I was a server lol

[willardroad]

Absolutely one of the BEST of the Bistro Huddy's, and that's saying something!
As a former server at a restaurant on the Jersey shore (int'l readers: That means the coast of New Jersey, USA, specifically in this case Ocean City), I saw this same scenario play out over and over! Once, the chef brought out the actual carcass and threw it on the patrons' table. Ahhh.... fond memories.

[zach]

It's crazy how amazing of an actor he is, there is no crossover at all, they are completely different characters. In so invested in bistro Huddy

[CynicalReprobate]

"She's somebody's ex that's for sure" what a stinger

[bigkirbyhj]

Honestly if you live on the coast, ALL THE FISH YOU GET IS TYPICALLY FLASH FROZEN ON THE BOAT, OR AT THE THE FISHERY. Fish spoils insanely quickly because the ocean and other bodies of water are typically slightly over refrigerator temperatures .

[OpheliaFantasy]

Wow that Chef's response was, well, *chef's kiss*

The undies line and her shock were the best bit! 😂

[GeneaVlogger]

I used to work at a restaurant where they would print on the menus "Always Fresh, Never Frozen"....but almost everything was frozen, especially the fish!

[timothyhill]

“It was fresh when it was frozen” is surprisingly effective when dealing with a Karen

[jordy]

Also flash frozen from fresh is honestly probably best because it kills off bacteria. I don't care about anything being frozen one bit.
