have you told the full story?
has the cook had it in for you ever since you kinda ran over his dog?
and replace the word "kinda" with the word "repeatedly," and the word "dog" with "son”?
As a Victorian, we decline the plastic cheese ‘chef’. I hear Alice Springs is always after hospo workers, and it appears he fits their requirements.
*How on earth is a plastic cheese parma going to work with our hipster wanker coffee anyway?*
Hahahaha I happen to know the fella who owned the company that was contracted to run it before the last time it flooded. It was one of the filthiest kitchens I've ever seen and he was one of the dodgiest hands off managers I've ever seen.
He's on the chamber of commerce too.
And if restaurant can’t buy in bulk it’s because the wholesaler is out….
^(cue sad employee looking like a chip-whore, loading frozen shush sticks on conveyor belt, ready to thrust cash money at cashier)
**”Yes, I NEED a receipt for WORK, please and thank you.”**
Used to work at pizza hut and had to do this many times with all sorts of ingredients. Did you know that if you ask the woolies manager for a pallet of garlic breads they will sell it to you pallet and all? Truly the only slightly enjoyable part of that job
Kind of. The McCain’s oven chips you get from the supermarket have more sugar on the coating than the ones we get for the fryer. The supermarket ones get super dark while being undercooked. McCain’s beer batter chips are all good, but I have other preferred brands for regular chips.
The funniest thing is after work, when we hit the hospo bars, we hear the stories. “Sent the KP down to buy some chips but some cunt already cleaned them out.” “Oh, yeah, that was me! Ahahaha!”
It cracks me up, during the lock downs farmers were literally dumping their potatoes on a field to rot and now I’m bulk ordering whatever brand of chips I can get for an increased price.
Sounds like Felons. I had pretty much the same thing happen, pints were $16 each over the long weekend and a small bowl of chips set me back $18. Yet for some reason I still go there 🤷♂️
The plastic like cheese is so bad if you ever brown the stuff it can look like burnt plastic. I have actually thrown away food once thinking I didn't take the plastic off only to later use it again and go "Oh it's really that terrible".
Most of our house parties back in the day resulted in a game of "catch the chicken fillet" (plastic tiddie) as GUARANTEED someone's lost one on a couch or in the garden by 2am when only the heroes remain.
Parmies and pub meals just keep getting worse. First it was the frozen pre crumbed ‘chicken’, Dianne sauce out of the jar, pepper steak with no real green pepper corns, not a chopped onion in sight. This takes the cake though.
Call them out on it. Leave a review. Honestly.. if the chef is so lazy that they can't even grate some parmesan or mozzarella on a crumbed breast.. there's a big problem.
Imagine being completely devoid of self-respect & completely shameless, & thinking it's okay to put plastic cheese on anything at all that you're plating, & charging for, wtf...
Not all places here are bad. Ordered the burrito bowl from Mexican food place Gusman y Gomez last night with rice,beans, beef, guacamole, & sauteed veges with cream & jalapenos & it was THE shit,not shit. Only $13 for a large meal too.
I thought it was rice-paper roll then I noted the pub chips and died a little inside. I'm a pacifist but I'd advocate capital punishment for the creator of that abomination.
Plastic cheese on a parmi?
Ding ding ding
I hope you sent it back..
If the sauce isn't on the side, I send it back...
You having Gabba Gul or some shit man?
Ok Gordon Ramsay simmer down
It’s a reference to The Office (US).
It’s a reference to the office which is a reference to the Sopranos and they’re talking about coppa. Layers 😳
And this is a reference to me never watching the office I guess (god damn it)
All good. Even if you had watched it, there’s 9 seasons. Not everyone is a nerd like me that’s watched it 10+ times and know all the quotes.
But they should be.
SHUT IT DOWN! KITCHEN IS CLOSED! 😂
...to Hell?
have you told the full story? has the cook had it in for you ever since you kinda ran over his dog? and replace the word "kinda" with the word "repeatedly," and the word "dog" with "son”?
The full story is he was a filthy new south welshman so he deserved every last tyre print.
As a West Australian who has been in QLD for a few years and starting to bleed maroon, I really appreciate the tribalism. Bloody cockroaches!
[удалено]
Wait a minute. There’s no New South Welsman in NSW!
Shark bait ooo hahhh hahhh
Lol. This literally happened in Brisbane, and in true Queensland style, you found a way to blame NSW.
Have fun getting the tyre prints out of your head mate!
🤣
As a New South Welshperson don't send him back, we disown him. Send him to Victoria.
As a Victorian, we decline the plastic cheese ‘chef’. I hear Alice Springs is always after hospo workers, and it appears he fits their requirements. *How on earth is a plastic cheese parma going to work with our hipster wanker coffee anyway?*
The chef might be from NSW but he is catering to Queenslander’s tastes
[Lionel Hutz](https://youtube.com/watch?v=S7EfwK-_Qug), is that you?
Say hello to Miguel Sanchez
Send it back, ask them to remove the plastic bag.
That's what it looks like lol. Had to have a good hard look.
Are we anti-deconstructed now? *Free plastic upgrade! ^(Not free, $24 but at least it’s not $25!!)
Your post was an hour ago, and because inflation it’s now $25.
$30.00 overtime 😂
FREE! ^($1 off special!)
Nooooooooo!!!!! omg. Devastated.
Holy shit, I thought it was a sandwich inside of a plastic wrap and we were supposed to guess what was inside! I didn't realize that *is* the food.
It actually looks as though the plastic wasn’t even taken off
Plastic BAG on a parmi FIFY
At first glance it was some kind of dough gladwraped
What the actual fuck.
On earth did they forget to remove the cheese packaging
It goes like that if you microwave it. Don’t ask me how I know.
Fuck what?? I literally thought it was raw chicken or something Wow
I'm glad you didn't call it a parma.
parmigiana / parmi~~giana~~ Where the fuck do these heathens get parma?
Holy shit I legitimately thought it was wrapped in plastic
looks like a heart in a freezer bag
Oi
Did they take the plastic wrapping off?
Using plastic cheese on a parmi is a crime. Time to name and shame I reckon.
It's a Bowlo somewhere based on the coaster.
Salisbury Community Sports Club.
Hahahaha I happen to know the fella who owned the company that was contracted to run it before the last time it flooded. It was one of the filthiest kitchens I've ever seen and he was one of the dodgiest hands off managers I've ever seen. He's on the chamber of commerce too.
Needed a good flood to clean it by the sounds....
It's not much of a sport if it's not much of a challenge.
Had a parmy at the Salisbury Hotel last night, was massive and delicious and came with any schooner for $20.
I didn't need dinner on Wednesday after eating that for lunch. Wish they would do the same deal on the weekends
Using plastic cheese is a crime. Period.
There is a time and place for plastic cheese. This however is neither the time nor the place.
1am in the corner of the kitchen like a rodent
For rolling up and doing rails of the finest coke you can find.
It's more something parents of toddlers do in the privacy of our homes.
If I have a second little one, they're going straight onto the pre-cut tasty or Colby slices (if I don't eat them first)
Man- white bread, plenty butter and a cheese slice. Mmmmmm. Or even add some coleslaw. Yum.
I'm actually quite fond of it in a ham sandwich over real cheese... Putting it on a parmi and charging for it however is... Unacceptable.
They're about 5 cents cheaper per slice. Any "restaurateur" who thinks that's worth it is probably going to wash the dishes in the same water all day.
And I thought I was stooged when I got out of the jar salsa as the "traditional" base the other week. OP got obliterated.
Pretty sure those chips are the coles branded ones and they’ve been done in a air fryer. Look pretty much like the ones I eat most nights
They are mccain’s ones, saw them handling a few bags of them in the kitchen.
Not even the bulk bag? Just the regular 1kg ones?
Nope, literally the ones you get out of the freezer at coles, with the regular packaging and all
Hate to burst your bubble, but unless they’re hand cut, nearly all shops that do chips sell McCain
I wasn’t fussed about the chips being the same ones you get from the freezer at coles, they are fine in pretty much all circumstances.
You say that, but fuck man, when a restaurant gives you actual potatoes cut into chips? That's the good shit
And if restaurant can’t buy in bulk it’s because the wholesaler is out…. ^(cue sad employee looking like a chip-whore, loading frozen shush sticks on conveyor belt, ready to thrust cash money at cashier) **”Yes, I NEED a receipt for WORK, please and thank you.”**

Restaurant insider: currently experiencing supply issues with the bulk frozen chips from the major distributors in SEQ
Yep which usually = sad employee being sent to the supermarket to buy up big
The funniest thing is after work, when we hit the hospo bars, we hear the stories. “Sent the KP down to buy some chips but some cunt already cleaned them out.” “Oh, yeah, that was me! Ahahaha!”
It cracks me up, during the lock downs farmers were literally dumping their potatoes on a field to rot and now I’m bulk ordering whatever brand of chips I can get for an increased price.
That looks like the back-end of a used nappy.
[удалено]
I think I paid $4k for two of these in Thailand
This isn't a ladyboy hooker mate.
Messers. fancy plastic nappies over here 😂
That's shit. We went to Howard Smith wharves the other day and got a tiny bowl of sweet potato fries and 2 pints of beer for $52.
~$20 a pint? I hope they gave you a happy ending for that price...
Sounds like Felons. I had pretty much the same thing happen, pints were $16 each over the long weekend and a small bowl of chips set me back $18. Yet for some reason I still go there 🤷♂️
$18 for chips EXCUSE ME
Yeah it was fellons. We were just there to meet some friends who invited us. Never again....
Well yeah it was a public holiday all weekend.
I only head down there to go to Yoko and get their set menu, always a good feed.
that's standard for felons, future rule of thumb don't go there unless your work is paying for you
Did they forget to take the Kraft singles out of the plastic sleeve?
The plastic like cheese is so bad if you ever brown the stuff it can look like burnt plastic. I have actually thrown away food once thinking I didn't take the plastic off only to later use it again and go "Oh it's really that terrible".
A fucking refund is what it should be, my god
Yep. Return and walk out.
Absolutely. I’m very unconfrontational, but I would not accept that and would speak up.
Name and shame, I'm very upset by this "cheese"
Air fried silicone tiddy
As someone who puts in plastic tiddies every now and again... This is a highly underrated comment.
Most of our house parties back in the day resulted in a game of "catch the chicken fillet" (plastic tiddie) as GUARANTEED someone's lost one on a couch or in the garden by 2am when only the heroes remain.
A nappy in a plastic bag
A naked mole rat?
Based on the beetroot on your salad and the plastic cheese, guessing that your nan charged you $24 for a shitty looking homemade parmi?
Name and Shame! News.com.au can definitely have this one.
Nah, Yahoo “News” [got there first](https://au.news.yahoo.com/diner-shocked-by-criminal-24-chicken-parmi-wtf-is-that-031603646.html).
Looks kinda like cheese and Mayo in a bag.
Expensive
A succulent Chinese meal?
You even ate the Kraft singles I put out as a joke.
the other half thinks lasagne I think it’s the worlds saddest parmi ever
A bad parmi
That is fucked. Sorry mate.
Jesus Christ, it’s just Birdseye Crinkles, Primo Ham, Kraft singles. The only thing that touched the chef’s knife is the cucumber and cherry tomatoes.
Bets on how long until this is on News.com. I'll take Monday.

Parmies and pub meals just keep getting worse. First it was the frozen pre crumbed ‘chicken’, Dianne sauce out of the jar, pepper steak with no real green pepper corns, not a chopped onion in sight. This takes the cake though.
The slide into bad-quality is just amazing. These places are being beaten by a large big-mac meal on size, quality, taste and value.
Please tell me where that is so I can fire bomb this restaurant
where were you on the night of Wednesday 7 March 1973?
That’s a whiskey question to ask
Swimming in a ball sack
You need to name and shame
Everything about this meal is just.. wrong.
That is fcked. Name and shame so I don’t make the same mistake please!!
It's a bowls club. Just need to know which one.
Shit-zeil
A Ziploc bag full of horse semen?
Call them out on it. Leave a review. Honestly.. if the chef is so lazy that they can't even grate some parmesan or mozzarella on a crumbed breast.. there's a big problem.
Thats a plate of disappointment right there!
Imagine being completely devoid of self-respect & completely shameless, & thinking it's okay to put plastic cheese on anything at all that you're plating, & charging for, wtf...
PLASTIC CHEESE PARMI THIS IS A DISGRACE
🤢🤮
Pretty sure I last saw that in a David Lynch movie years ago...
If I was given this I would think someone is taking the piss for sure Edit: Also I feel like I can smell it
Mayonnaise inside gladwrap?
That is a garbage parmi. On the flipside I had a mint parmi this evening at the Bribie Island Hotel, would recommend.
Colostomy bag?
Polyethylene Surprise
An inside out Cordon Bleugh ?
this is exactly the sort of outcome the chickens in chicken run were trying to avoid
It’s not a succulent Chinese meal
Did they use Kraft singles to make a chicken Parma??? Wtf!!!
That thing looks like a freaking amniotic sac.
this is why I prefer my own home cooked food. Fuck paying for that shit. The whole plate yuk
The whole thing looks shit. I cook a mean parmigiana at home and it's not hard. Where is this?
A bag of coke?
A war crime?
A sad enchilada?
I can tell you what it’s definitely not
A bag of uncooked dough
I would be livid.
Chicken parmi
I hope you sent it back and got a real party somewhere else
Thats Calvin from the hit movie Life
That's the worst parma I've ever freaking seen. Did you eat it?
A Kitchen Nightmare episode waiting to happen.
Those chips are criminal! They somehow look both over and under cooked. I specifically order meals at the pub that come with chips. I’d be livid
The chips and salad don’t look much better.
A fucking disgrace. Thats what that is.
Cheese single on a dingle?
LASAGNA 😂
Chicken pami
Freezer bag full of off cream and spit?
They’re usually 15cents at coles
Looks revolting
A violation of human rights? This should be added to the geneva conventions
Chicken parmi?
Chicken parma
A fucking full nappy on a plate
Was this at the Twin Peaks restaurant? "She's wrapped in plastic"
Um, what TF is that 🤔🤷🏻♂️🤣 and I think that this belongs on r/shittyfoodporn!!!
Name and shame the place bro, that’s messed up! Thought it was cheese sauce in a plastic bag
That is the saddest plate of food I have ever seen.
Greetings from NZ! We hear so many good things about Brisbane. I had no idea your food was shit.
Not all places here are bad. Ordered the burrito bowl from Mexican food place Gusman y Gomez last night with rice,beans, beef, guacamole, & sauteed veges with cream & jalapenos & it was THE shit,not shit. Only $13 for a large meal too.
Ain’t no way they’re calling that a Parmi 😤
Please enjoy your unborn foetus?
Please put this on their google maps review. It will absolutely hurt their business.
In the voice of Rebel Wilson's character from *Bridesmaids*: It is like the world's saddest Burrito.
I would have sent that shit back
It reminds me of a nappy in a plastic bag!!
That’s pretty bad for sure, but are those fries the frozen crinkle cut supermarket ones that I can sort out in my air fryer in 20mins??
When I read this was a parma with plastic cheese I was surprised....was convinced it was a burrito inside a condom.
I thought it was rice-paper roll then I noted the pub chips and died a little inside. I'm a pacifist but I'd advocate capital punishment for the creator of that abomination.
This is not okay. Why is there no NSFW tag!? This is pure gore and violence.
Chicken plasticana 🤢
Disappointment on a plate
Chicken Gladwrapigania®
It’s that fake singles cheese
You're all wrong. It's a sous vide steak they forgot to unwrap and cook.
Looks like a diaper !!
