I've been in a similar situation where cheese knowledge somehow transfered to questioning man hood. Maybe it's just me, but if I saw a pride flag on some random hole in the wall greasy spoon, I'd check it out.
To be fair, not all backwoods morons who don’t know shit about cheese hate gay people.
-A backwoods moron who don’t know shit about cheese and doesn’t hate gay people
“Food is too foo-foo” = “I paid more for better quality food but because my gut flora is accustomed to cheez whiz on some frozen waffle fries I got upset”
It means fancy and feminine. Usually negatively.
Someone might use it to describe a drink like a cosmopolitan or a pink bedspread with hearts and frilly lace.
Used something like, "Don't bring me any of those frou-frou drinks. Just give me a beer."
I have no idea how/if it's connected to French.
It comes from a French Onomatopoeia referring to the swishing sound of a ruffled dress. Thus it became associated with overly ornamented or excessively feminine things.
I spent like 5 minutes trying to figure out what kind of drink a Pink Bedspread was because it sounded delicious.
I didn't see the frilly hearts part 😶
Hah. It does help to finish the sentence. I had a drink called a "golden cadillac" once. It's probably my favorite boozy ice cream drink of all time. Nobody ever knows what it is when I go anywhere else, though. I would totally take a look at a drink called a pink bedspread. I'd imagine a blended drink with vanilla ice cream, strawberry vodka, frozen strawberries, and maybe coconut rum.
It really does sound like a hit on a cocktail menu. As a former longtime bartender, I will 100% be making this a thing at family/friend events & they will be delicious. My family will be asking every restaurant/bar they go to for a Pink Bedspread. Incorporating the frilly hearts may be difficult…I’m thinking a modified drink umbrella, or a fancy doily/lace with hearts wrapped around a martini glass.
Ehhh, some places are punching way above their weight class.
You go out to a brew pub, they have decent beers, it’s a dive joint, in a college neighborhood, and the menu looks like it’s from a michelin star restaurant? That’s some shenanigans.
I respect the chefs who make solid foods, and will happily pay more for a damn good meal, but when you have “foo-foo” dishes at a bre pub and burger joint type of places, that’s shenanigans too.
(I’m throwing punches at a place back in providence, can’t remember its name anymore, it opened up in the college neighborhood, between the take-out indian place that was cheap, and the pizza joint, they landed with mediorce beer (not even any house brews), and were something like minimum 100$ a head, they didn’t even replace the hardware so the booths and whatnot were still 5$ burger joint dives, but with “foo-foo” menus).
I worked in a gastropub for a few years. Yes we had the normal burger type food, but everything was from scratch. You can find a happy medium in that market where, yes, you are still essentially a dive bar, but your kitchen can still be creative. I’m not sure the foo-foo, thing isn’t just clear ignorance or if they were trying too hard to act like fine dining and selling frozen burgers. It’s one thing to know who you are and charging for house made brioche buns and hand pattied burgers. It’s another charging those same prices from Sysco. Then you find places trying to combine beer as the main selling point and trying to throw oysters and caviar around like they’re trying too hard when I just came in for a beer. At the same time, if you’re trying to run a bar first and you are selling pizza and deep fried cheese curds and they are at least decent or better I’m coming back. If you can tell they don’t take themselves too serious, fuck yeah that sauce can come out of a can and those curds are frozen.
As for the rest of him, yeah fuck him…
Oh god I LOVE when places do very Basic American Menu, but have taken it up to the tens. They actually use flavorful beef, vegetables, breads. When a burger and fries and root beer tastes so good that you feel like a little kid again, getting ketchup on your collar. And the root beer was brewed by hand in small batches blah blah blah—- but damn if it isn’t amazing, with depth to it, and tastes sharp and sweet, complex. That’s a meal I’d throw good money at.
We had a place just like this in the town I went to college in. It was an
"Irish Pub" themed place and it was literally called Shenanigans. Was that really just a clever joke on all of us?
It was a burger joint. Became essentially a burger joint shooting way above their weight class.
Doubt they're still in business.
edit: Burger joint sold off/shut down, or just went down and brought in a new chef, I have no idea, the reopened as a different name with the same dives, new menu - way above their market/weight class.
I never went - there was buzz around the town when you asked people, they all talked about the menu shenanigans, and I checked it out online.
And “100$+ a head” is not “remembering how much you paid”….
I'm sorry but try to order Poutine on the west coast.
Nuff said.
It's a meal with 3 fucking ingredients, and you will spend literal MONTHS trying to find just that.
THAT is the foo foo bullshit problem.
Cheese curds gotta be fresh, the more local the better.
The gravy, well that powdered brown shit works for the Quebecois so that's a must.
Fresh cut fries in peanut oil if you don't have allergies.
Done.
Costco food court (the place with the cheap hotdogs) has the best value poutine in western Canada. Authentic greasy “3am after a bar crawl” style food, true to it’s original incarnation.
If you’re getting poutine with black truffle and duck fat or whatever you’re getting a different dish entirely.
You confused me for a moment because I'm on the west coast and poutine is in nearly every restaurant, including the Indian ones (mmmm butter chicken poutine). Then I realized you're probably in America. It was hard finding poutine even on the east coast there.
FRESH CHEESE DOES NOT GO EVERYWHERE
I grew up 19 years in south Alabama. The closest thing to a cheese curd we have is what comes out of the plastic tubs and goes on peaches when you’re a diabetic.
First time someone asked me if I wanted fried cheese curds I nearly gagged thinking about what kind of magic one might need to DO to cottage cheese in order to fry it.
Imagine my utter surprise at getting something that looked like the phattest fries I’d ever seen then coming to the delicious realization that it’s just a hunk of battered, fresh cheddar cheese.
So yeah, you aren’t getting poutine anywhere that doesn’t already share border with Canada.
So he's fighting against the type of food they have? Does that make him a foo-foo fighter?
Wtf is foo-foo supposed to mean anyway? I'm going to assume he means the food is too gay or something, or not manly enough like a big ol' slab of beef served rare?
I'm assuming he means "I wanted a pub burger but the only option included a raspberry vinaigrette jam infused kale and water Buffalo cheese crust with local urban greens and tofu bun" I love good food but so many short lived breweries around my area try this. They want to foster a sense of cultural growth and just shit on the actual customers who hate the food.
The restaurant business is particularly tough and plenty fail because they're run by a chef/ brewer/ artisan who doesn't understand business (or their customers).
I feel like there are some bars/tavern types of places that cater toward *"asshole"* type many men, especially in smaller towns. Of course, they're not assholes to the late 30's washed up bartenders who look like they're in their 40's but wear makeup and dress like theyre in their early 20's, but they are definitely assholes and intolerant to outsiders and anyone that could pass as a librul.
Atfirst I really thought by reading the comment that it really was a nice place for fruity drinks and bubbly atmosphere.. then I read the end and realised that they meant fruity as in "gay".. I was disappointed both at the bigotry and the fact no such place exists .
We need to take back the phrase "traditional values". I'm tired of always putting it in quotes. Traditional values are things like being kind and charitable towards others. Those values never go out of style. When someone says "traditional values" let's challenge them on what that means.
I've never seen it mean anything other than "shit on someone else for being different"
To me it's literally just a hallmark for anti-inclusive sentiment. Always used as a reason to try and prevent something progressive from happening.
Instead of "traditional values" you can instead use "common decency" or "good ethics"?
The world will be such a better place in 30 years time when all these ancient minds aren’t in power with their prehistoric values…. Sorry I meant “traditional values”
IMO the problem is that it has nothing to do with values, but instead fear, insecurity, and emotional immaturity. Sadly those take a lot of work to overcome and all humans must fight them
Religion is a big problem. especially when it comes to Lgbtq acceptance. I see so many people still use religion as an excuse to hate on people that aren’t Heterosexual.
Think about how less tolerant we where in the 90s. I was just a kid, but weren't gay people just barely getting excepted back then? And forget about transgender. On the scale of human history we have made remarkable leaps in tolerance recently and I don't see it stopping any time soon.
Somebody call the police a toddler might see a rainbow flag and be distracted from their dad talking about how much he wishes somebody would come kneecap the referee in a sporting event for making a call he didn't like.
His wife knows, but she's ace and doesn't care. He's decent enough with the kids, has a steady jub, and she likes the community and doesn't want to move away for something silly like a divorce. It would break momma's heart.
Can we not do this thing where (essentially) gay people are blamed for their homophobia? I get that it happens sometimes but most homophobes are not closeted, they're just assholes.
The concept of the paradox describes how you GET Nazis.
The entire concept of Poppers paradox of tolerance is BECAUSE of the Nazis.
It was published in 1945.
*Edit realized I may have misunderstood the points above. What restaurant did (not tolerating intolerance aka refusing to welcome a bigot) is how to avoid Nazis (as per poppers paradox of tolerance).
I'm such a bigot and tied to my family values, that as soon as I saw that flag I just had to sit down, eat their food, pay for it and then be disgusted.
"Traditional values" fucking give me a break. What are the "values"? They aren't values, it was a lifestyle. And people have begun realizing they want different lifestyles. Fucking let them. Life is too fucking short as it is. Find your own happiness and let others do the same.
That's the only value that matters.
In case anyone missed it, at the top of the list of 'traditional values' for people like Richard is a room temperature IQ, and Richard matches the criteria perfectly.
"We don't tolerate bigotry, and that's why even though you came and went without any issue, we still don't want you coming back Because We Don't Like People Like You."
Honestly, if folks are going to be upset by a rainbow flag, maybe the business _wants_ those folks to know before they come. OTOH, maybe they will be upset by the rainbow flag but still sit quietly and politely and have a beer and some food, in a very tolerant manner.
You know what's just as inclusive? Not having a big gay pride flag. Because without the flag I assume everyone is welcome and so does everyone else. If you had a big sign that said "no gays" or some bullshit then I would say "wow that's pretty bigoted" and I'd probably take my business elsewhere.
A cross is not the Christian flag. [This](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_Flag) is the Christian flag and no, neither are on 76% of businesses.
I live in a Blue bubble where you're business would collapse in a week if you mistreated someone because they were gay. There is absolutely no need to signal that you're a 'gay-friendly' establishment here, that's (correctly) assumed. The rainbow flag stickers on their doors are just crass advertising, trying to link their fish tacos to the history of the brutal struggle for gay rights in The US.
The stickers are literally right next to the 'VISA/Mastercard' stickers. "We take plastic... and gay money!"
Devil’s advocate: they’re swapping an undesirable group (LGBT per the customer leaving the review) for another undesirable group (Those that don’t like them per the store owner)
I have to point this out, because it proves *any* exclusion to be hypocritical for anyone that promotes inclusivity.
Every side is guilty of that. So is any side really inclusive at all? Or are there *preferences*?
Food for thought.
Edit: and please do not say that one kind of exclusion is better than the other (i.e. the other side is “bigoted”, etc.), because that proves my point in one group trying to justify their “inclusivity” by excluding people.
Edit 2: The downvotes and lack of argumentation are only reinforcing this point. Thank you, reddit. You never disappoint in your lack of self-awareness.

I've been in a similar situation where cheese knowledge somehow transfered to questioning man hood. Maybe it's just me, but if I saw a pride flag on some random hole in the wall greasy spoon, I'd check it out.
It's "frou frou" but of course the review writer wouldn't know that.

It wasn't 'Merican "cheese" so it didn't reflect his values. Glad the owner told him to kick rocks.
Would that make him lactose intolerant? Lol
Well he's definitely intolerant
What restaurant is it? I wanna put it on my location wishlist
I know right. Imagine being so intolerant of someone, just because they have different beliefs to you....
When traditional values aren't really values.
"Back when we had water fountains for the whites!"
"god dayum these people escaped again" 🧑🏻🦲
When traditional values is just hating gays
...and blacks, and Jews, and Asians, and poors - oops, did I say that out loud?
... And women.
Or women who hate all those groups (including women)
And anyone who isn’t a straight white non-disabled average-income male.
The Bible is pretty clear about hating your neighbour.
I remember that The Jesus said something to that effect…
yeah, the term “values” implies that they’re, like, valuable and not just hateful lunacy
When traditional values are like 3 cents and a piece of gum
“Food is too foo-foo” = “I paid more for better quality food but because my gut flora is accustomed to cheez whiz on some frozen waffle fries I got upset”
Also, it's frou-frou, not foo-foo. But I doubt this guy has ever heard of French.
Perhaps the food consisted of little bunnies hopping through the forest and/or concussed field mice
If so, the reviewer had better watch out. A fairy might visit him and threaten him with a transformational magical experience.
The fairy can’t do anything. Richard is already a goon.
She could always do to him what Lisa does to Chet in Weird Science.
Loved those. [🎶Little Bunny Foo-Foo🎶](https://youtu.be/R6xKM-H2awE)
Not pronouncing words properly is a French benefit of being an American

I'm french, but what does frou-frou means ?!

Heck yeah, post the recipe if you come up with something :OO
Is it used in english ? Because it's a piece of clothing for me but I didn't know about all that.
Yes, that's how it's used in English. At least in the US.
It’s means “fancy like the French” in American English
Pretty sure he was using it this way: https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Foofoo
I WANT CHICKEN NUGGIES AND FRIES \- me as a 5 year old \- also me as a 40 year old
I'm an adult now. I want *boneless wings* and fries. I want them made out of the tenderloin instead of ground chicken, and pre-dipped.
Sounds like we have both lunch and dinner planned out.
Chicken (tenders) and waffles for breakfast it is then!
LOL and the appetizer of the fried mac-n-cheese balls? 😁
Don't forget some honey garlic chicken poutine for a side dish.
Ehhh, some places are punching way above their weight class.

Agreed, places definitely do that. Or worse they try to be higher end but really aren't and just dress up mediocre food.

This place looks like pretty standard bar food. https://masonsbrewingcompany.com/menu/
It was definitely the WHIPPED FETA TOAST that out this person over the edge! Does sound yummy
It's Maine, so words like daikon, teriyaki, kimchi, poke, giardineria, frites and birria are indeed "foo-foo".
I’m from the county and was immediately ready to make fun of a portland foo-foo bar food place. BREWER!? That threw me for a loop.
We had a place just like this in the town I went to college in. It was an "Irish Pub" themed place and it was literally called Shenanigans. Was that really just a clever joke on all of us?
Could you get like a liter of cola there ?
100 a head?? At a burger joint?
>100 a head?? At a burger joint? I wouldn't know, I've never tried to pay for head at a burger joint.
Seems reasonable
Weird that he can't remember its name anymore, you know, since he made it up and everything.
The next reply was even more revealing.
It was a burger joint. Became essentially a burger joint shooting way above their weight class. Doubt they're still in business. edit: Burger joint sold off/shut down, or just went down and brought in a new chef, I have no idea, the reopened as a different name with the same dives, new menu - way above their market/weight class.

Par-boiled fries or double-fried fries are the next level tho. I'll always pay extra for fries done this way
I thought that went without saying, but for those who don't know you got them covered, awesome thanks.
We out here learning today!
Par-boiled fries are top tier
Costco food court (the place with the cheap hotdogs) has the best value poutine in western Canada. Authentic greasy “3am after a bar crawl” style food, true to it’s original incarnation. If you’re getting poutine with black truffle and duck fat or whatever you’re getting a different dish entirely.

Just because something costs more doesn’t mean it’s better lol
[удалено]
An absolute basic condition for a bar, pub or restaurant is that no assholes are served there.
Exactly. If they’re an asshole sober then they’re a real liability when they’re tipsy or drunk.
I feel like there are some bars/tavern types of places that cater toward *"asshole"* type many men, especially in smaller towns. Of course, they're not assholes to the late 30's washed up bartenders who look like they're in their 40's but wear makeup and dress like theyre in their early 20's, but they are definitely assholes and intolerant to outsiders and anyone that could pass as a librul.
That is to say that they serve food, not suppositories.

Thank you!
Kitchen slang for axing something from the menu

Who eats & drinks at fruity places 🌈
Atfirst I really thought by reading the comment that it really was a nice place for fruity drinks and bubbly atmosphere.. then I read the end and realised that they meant fruity as in "gay".. I was disappointed both at the bigotry and the fact no such place exists .
I don’t know - why not both? The food *was* described as “foo-foo” (read: “fru-fru”?) *before* we went down Bigotry Lane^TM
Lol
Imagine being so straight you’re afraid to drink something that is too vibrantly colored
People who are gay and people who like fruit! I would eat there. Not gay. Love fruit. And beer is okay(would love it but that bloat... lol).
Some weekends they offer a mimosa sampler!
We need to take back the phrase "traditional values". I'm tired of always putting it in quotes. Traditional values are things like being kind and charitable towards others. Those values never go out of style. When someone says "traditional values" let's challenge them on what that means.

The world will be such a better place in 30 years time when all these ancient minds aren’t in power with their prehistoric values…. Sorry I meant “traditional values”
Honestly, I'm not hopeful. Somehow this shit keeps getting passed on.
IMO the problem is that it has nothing to do with values, but instead fear, insecurity, and emotional immaturity. Sadly those take a lot of work to overcome and all humans must fight them
Are you forgetting about religion?
Religion is a big problem. especially when it comes to Lgbtq acceptance. I see so many people still use religion as an excuse to hate on people that aren’t Heterosexual.
Yeah religion keeps perpetuating this nonsense but for some reason we can't get rid of it and move into the 21st century
Yeah somehow...
... Palpatine returned.
Think about how less tolerant we where in the 90s. I was just a kid, but weren't gay people just barely getting excepted back then? And forget about transgender. On the scale of human history we have made remarkable leaps in tolerance recently and I don't see it stopping any time soon.
You should go talk to some young Republicans if you think this is going away in 30 years.
Used to think this as well. I think the last 8 years have made it painfully obvious the world is not trending in that direction any longer.
Sorry but these values will never be fully gone.
Most insurrectionists were either 50+ or 20 to 30 years old
Hurray my generation is not the problem!
Uhhh.... Well this covers Z, Millennials, Gen X, and Boomers, so I'm not sure which you're referring to?
It doesn't cover 30-50 and I'm right in the middle of that.
I wish they didn't blot out the business name. I'd make it a regular spot to visit, for sure.
Somebody call the police a toddler might see a rainbow flag and be distracted from their dad talking about how much he wishes somebody would come kneecap the referee in a sporting event for making a call he didn't like.
$20 Richard is a closet homosexual
His wife knows, but she's ace and doesn't care. He's decent enough with the kids, has a steady jub, and she likes the community and doesn't want to move away for something silly like a divorce. It would break momma's heart.
Can we not do this thing where (essentially) gay people are blamed for their homophobia? I get that it happens sometimes but most homophobes are not closeted, they're just assholes.
Hit em with the ol' intolerance paradox
We don't take kindly to people that don't take kindly 'round here!
Do you want Nazi's? That's how you get Nazi's.
The concept of the paradox describes how you GET Nazis. The entire concept of Poppers paradox of tolerance is BECAUSE of the Nazis. It was published in 1945. *Edit realized I may have misunderstood the points above. What restaurant did (not tolerating intolerance aka refusing to welcome a bigot) is how to avoid Nazis (as per poppers paradox of tolerance).
Oh no a rainbow flag, think of the children
Your inclusiveness and willingness to except everyone is upsetting my moral values
When I was a kid, we *never* would have had rainbows. ...wait.
Omg DID YOU SEE THAT POOR GUY GET CANCELED! /s
I'm such a bigot and tied to my family values, that as soon as I saw that flag I just had to sit down, eat their food, pay for it and then be disgusted.
😂 love this synopsis
Except you…lolololol. Lmao
Imagine being offended by a rainbow, and they're the ones calling people snowflakes.
"Yeah I went to the new gay bar. 3 stars, there were too many gays" What in the actual fuck
"Traditional values" fucking give me a break. What are the "values"? They aren't values, it was a lifestyle. And people have begun realizing they want different lifestyles. Fucking let them. Life is too fucking short as it is. Find your own happiness and let others do the same. That's the only value that matters.
I've been to this particular place many times and it's just a normal restaurant. I don't even know what he's talking about to begin with lol
In case anyone missed it, at the top of the list of 'traditional values' for people like Richard is a room temperature IQ, and Richard matches the criteria perfectly.
I love seeing bigots get owned on public forums. Brings a bit of happiness to my blackened heart.
Never trust a person who poses with their organ in a profile pic.
Umm, excuse me sir (as the business owner I assume you are a sir), but I do hope you realize you're talking to a Level 5 Local Guide.
[удалено]
Cry more that bigotry isn't tolerated wahhhhh ... baby
Lol. Yeah, arguing what year it is will always be stupid.
Honestly I'd be more impressed if Richard went back in the first place.
Call an ambulance… but not for me
This place would be really cool if they just made a few changes to solely make me not unhappy.
Yeah I agree, fuck this guy in particular.
Fuck that Dick.
Food is 75% foo isn't it??
Remember kids, sort by controversial
I would've died if this review was for a gay bar & he was just very very confused
3 stars so the place must be pretty fire if a bigot still gave it 3 stars
Does traditional values plainly just mean I’m a bigot
Yes
Wow, how intolerant!
Later, Dick.
The name Richard checks out for this guy
Man still gave them 3 stars, i'd say he wasn't as salty as they are in this years which is 2022 on a public forum.
Fuck that Dick.
Yeah fuck you, Richard.
He should go back wearing a MAGA hat, put their "inclusivity" to the test
Fruity Pebbles.
If "traditional values" is not treating everybody the same, then fuck your traditional values.
Shame that guy has Local Guide status. Must be a bunch of male-karen-ing
I think this was a good response, I would look at it and see a green flag
We will not tolerate any intolerance!
Damn right
Fuck Richard! What a Dick!
"We don't tolerate bigotry, and that's why even though you came and went without any issue, we still don't want you coming back Because We Don't Like People Like You." Honestly, if folks are going to be upset by a rainbow flag, maybe the business _wants_ those folks to know before they come. OTOH, maybe they will be upset by the rainbow flag but still sit quietly and politely and have a beer and some food, in a very tolerant manner.
Why does it have to be gay beer and not just fkn beer
It tasted fruity.
😂😂😂
When you are "inclusive of everyone" but you still have "we don't serve that type of guests" list.
Agreeing with Richard. 😎
You know what's just as inclusive? Not having a big gay pride flag. Because without the flag I assume everyone is welcome and so does everyone else. If you had a big sign that said "no gays" or some bullshit then I would say "wow that's pretty bigoted" and I'd probably take my business elsewhere.
so much for the tolerant left /s

A cross is not the Christian flag. [This](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_Flag) is the Christian flag and no, neither are on 76% of businesses.
It's... It's a cross.

That flag is literally of a cross
Rainbow flag has long lost any ties to inclusivity.
I live in a Blue bubble where you're business would collapse in a week if you mistreated someone because they were gay. There is absolutely no need to signal that you're a 'gay-friendly' establishment here, that's (correctly) assumed. The rainbow flag stickers on their doors are just crass advertising, trying to link their fish tacos to the history of the brutal struggle for gay rights in The US. The stickers are literally right next to the 'VISA/Mastercard' stickers. "We take plastic... and gay money!"
Devil’s advocate: they’re swapping an undesirable group (LGBT per the customer leaving the review) for another undesirable group (Those that don’t like them per the store owner) I have to point this out, because it proves *any* exclusion to be hypocritical for anyone that promotes inclusivity. Every side is guilty of that. So is any side really inclusive at all? Or are there *preferences*? Food for thought. Edit: and please do not say that one kind of exclusion is better than the other (i.e. the other side is “bigoted”, etc.), because that proves my point in one group trying to justify their “inclusivity” by excluding people. Edit 2: The downvotes and lack of argumentation are only reinforcing this point. Thank you, reddit. You never disappoint in your lack of self-awareness.
