Why is it so hard to find a culinarily compatible friend? Or am I somehow the fag?
i don't understand. whose barbecue was it? was it his barbecue? if not, why on earth was he taking control of the grill?

I think OP is talking about those barbecue places where they bring you raw ingredients and a small grill to the table so everyone cooks their own shit
I've seen it in Korean films
what's homer mad about?
>>7477108
You are seen as the faggot, but you have shit "friends"
Who the fuck doesn't keep tongs for cooked and raw food seperate?
>>7477147
The fact that he needs to pee but doesn't wanna get out of bed because he's too comfy and it's freezing out
My friends typically only want to go to Boston Pizza, Denny's, Original Joes, etc. It saddens me.

Wait what? That doesn't make sense.
doing it wrong. you should be with women - asian women - and they will cook everything without even being asked.

Find some non-poor friends.

I eat yakiniku all the time and have had zero problems reusing the same tongs. The only time I was careful was the single time someone ordered chicken for the table, which I'll never get again because it takes so fucking long to cook compared to beef.

if they were actually poor they'd be eating at the local dollar pizza slice place or basic subway sandwiches or mcdonalds

Hilariously racist, stereotypical, and untrue.

I don't know about in the US, but its very true in Japan, especially if they are acquaintances and not real friends. The friends will do it too but will give you shit for it

That seems counterintuitive to the premise of a restaurant

Cooking is fun when you don't have to do any of the prep. Yakiniku is great and so is okonomiyaki.

I went to a steakhouse in Ohio that had a giant grill in the middle for grilling your steaks they give to you fresh and raw. Like other guy said, it's fun when there's no prep or cleanup.
They also had unlimited bread and butter to make toast. And if you didn't want to cook your own, add $2 to price and they cooked it for you.

I dated Japanese chick for five years. I did 95% of the cooking for both her, and her friends. She was a fucking awful cook. She did introduce me to ommurice, so I shouldn't complain overly much.

It was for work during a Managers conference. I didn't pick the place, or pay.
I'd tend to agree with you, but it turned out OK.
>>7478889
Jeez you seem like the kind of person that no one else wants to eat with
>>7478796
I live in Japan and it's true. In any big group when I eat out with colleagues the women work the grill or tend to the nabe.

You have the comprehension of an anal cyst.
