When people go out to restaurants, they're usually expecting the place to have some kind of standard for the food that they're serving to customers. Instagram food account The Shitty Food Blog begs to differ. The purpose of the account is to document the nastiest food creations people have actually spent money on, and after taking a glimpse of the page, we're pretty appalled. Have you purchased or consumed something worse than the food featured below? Let us know in the comments. 

Being a server is a demanding job where you have to balance a bunch of plates and orders, while simultaneously dealing with all the Karens that come into the restaurant. We're surprised we haven't seen waiters have a single meltdown. In this week's story from Reddit's infamous "Am I The A**hole?" thread, a waitress finally had that meltdown and took it out on a customer by spitting in their food. Following the incident, a concerned coworker told the manager about it. The waitress was reprimanded, but now the woman who told on her is known as the restaurant snitch. Yikes. Read more about the incident below, and let us know who you think the a**hole is in the comments.

Veganism is a spectrum on which every person holds their standards differently. Some vegans only care about the food they consume, while others are also concerned with the utensils they use and potential cross-contamination with non-vegan products. Since vegan restaurants need to respect and cater to all ends of the spectrum, they typically have a 'no non-vegan products allowed' policy to avoid cross-contamination. So when one family brought a ham sandwich into a vegan restaurant and put it on one of the restaurant's plates, they were understandably asked to leave. Unsurprisingly, the family didn't take kindly to being kicked out, which makes sense considering they thought it was appropriate to bring ham inside in the first place. The internet had a lot to say about it. 

Unless you've been living under a rock, you'd know that this past year was a total hot mess dumpster fire. When people ask why my hair, skin, and entire essence looked like garbage, it's definitely because of the apocalypse we endured this year. Now that we're somewhat bouncing back, the people of Twitter can't stop sarcastically celebrating how nature is healing, because as we know, nature will never heal as long as we're here to destroy it without fail. On that super jaded note, scroll down to read all the hilarious ways people believe nature has been getting an upgrade as of late.

As a waiter, you get an intimate view of a lot of different relationships. You might witness a proposal, a birthday, a big new job announcement, the options are limitless. It's a beautiful thing, to be able to partake in so many joyful occasions. However, waiters don't get to pick and choose, they're there for the good stuff as well as everything else. At least they get paid.

Although many influencers would disagree, having a large following on social media doesn't entitle you to free sh*t. 

Enter, the Karen's of Instagram. 

Here's a hilarious, yet shocking exchange between one particular (racist) Karen and the owner of a Michelin Star restaurant. She tried to use her status to get free food, he (rightfully) said no, and she didn't take it very well. Read the calamity unfold, below. 

Food is meant to be enjoyed, whether it's expensive Michelin-star standard or fast-food from McDonald's. Of course, the more expensive the food, the higher the cooking quality, standard, and presentation but sometimes fine dining restaurants take it a little too far. These pictures show what some Michelin star restaurants are doing when it comes to serving their food, and they prove that imagination doesn't have limitations. They say presentation is everything, but I'm not sure how appetizing some of these dishes look, even if they are ridiculously expensive. What do you think?

El Arroyo, a restaurant in Austin, Texas, is putting up witty, playful, and semi-inspirational signs to draw attention and make people smile. The restaurant, which according to its website is the "last queso stop before a bunch of yoga studios" puts the iconic signs outside the restaurant which have become somewhat famous in Texas. The signs all have the same aesthetic of black lettering on a branded board and they even take suggestions via email, which you can send to sign@elarroyo.com. Their Instagram account has 238k followers and contains all their wonderful signs, but we've compiled a bunch of the best for you below. 

A Reddit page We Want Plates is a space where users post pictures of the creative ways restaurants serve food, instead of using a good old plate. The page describes itself as 'crusades against serving food on bits of wood and roof tiles, chips in mugs and drinks in jam jars' and some of the pictures submitted prove that the food industry has taken things a bit too far. Enjoy these pictures of decadent and frankly ridiculous ways that some establishments choose to serve their food. 

When dining out, there's an expectation that your order will be correctly served to you. But if you're going to eat at the Tokyo pop-up called "Restaurant of Mistaken Orders", you should rethink your expected outcome. This dining experience is staffed by people living with dementia who may, or may not, get your order right. Story via: Open Culture

Advertising is huge when it comes to capturing the attention of new potential customers! If you could capture their gaze for a moment, make them think, AND laugh, that's when you know you've got something. Advertising companies spend millions crafting the ads that aren't nearly as good at the phrase or drawing that these bartenders scribbled on a sign in minutes. 

And justice was served! These restaurants know to properly clapback and shut down those internet trolls!  

When twitter user, #ForwatdNotBack, went to a fancy restaurant few days ago, he was sitting next to this young couple on their first date. He was very attached by the waiter's million dollar gesture who gave a young couple their perfect evening. 

He is working as a restaurant manager for few years and he says there are few things that are happening almost every day and are annoying as hell.
