Next time you go to an Italian restaurant in NY, give the balsamic vinaigrette shaker a hard shake and see how many dead flies come out of it.

"The first duty of everybody in life is to realize that they're a piece of shit..."
This whole diatribe fundamentally changed my outlook on things to an extent. And for the best. The man was a philosopher.

Yup. Never knew the name. The sign just said "Groceries."

Deer God, Reddit is fucked.
This world needs exactly zero more evangelists. We don’t need to create them ourselves.

I can't tell if you're serious about drilling out gas jets, but for anyone else reading this, do some research into how precisely these holes are drilled for their intended output. And not just the size - the shape of the orifice greatly influences how much gas flows at a given pressure.

I quote this movie and that man at least once a month. Been doing it for nearly 10 years. I am so bummed I didn’t get to eat a meal he cooked before he passed. This movie is superb

One of if not my time favorite documentary. Made me wanna be a cook even though I’ve never worked in a restaurant in my life.

So, I looked it up and both are fine. Without the 'n' is just the original French term, which language we got restaurant from as well, whereas with the 'n' is reasonably common, more-so in the US than the UK, (which is geographically and culturally close to France).
Going by our grammar it amounts to restaurant and eur, which functions the same as er in many English-based words, but gets used for words that we got from French. The suffix er just means 'do-er' or 'one who does'. So it makes sense that folks would lean towards the more English-ified version of the word. We kept the eur because it's a French word, but it's no different than someone who dances being a dancer or someone who owns being an owner.

Correct me if I'm wrong, please, but I'm pretty sure I said shut up.

This is the first DVD I got from Netflix way back 2008/9. Probably one of the most entertaining and insightful docs I've ever watched, Kenny's philosophy and outlook on the world in general was refreshing and what a culinary madman.

Fair enough...
He might have been a Socialist though. We don't know. There's a tendency to "sanitize" legends of anything that rubs against the power of elites...
After all, how many people know Albert Einstein was a lifelong Socialist? Here's an essay he wrote in 1949...

The idea that a man who (checks notes) made his wages based on the idea that people with money spent lots of money on fancy food, would be relevant to Socialism is the dumbest thing I’ve heard in several weeks. You spoiled ass children with your Che Guevara tshirts need to look into what actually went down an ANY of the socialist nations before you speak your ignorant ass ideas. I’m fine if you want to suggest that we would be better being farmers than capitalists but the very idea that you can be a Socialist but also be a fancy chef is absolutely ridiculous
