I don’t know how things are in different parts of the US/world, but I have so little confidence in food workers now that if I had a food allergy, I’d never eat at restaurants again.
This makes no sense. Salads really do have nuts sometimes, whilst I’ve never heard of bees having steak.
What if it’s honey glazed?

Dammit! I keep losing at chess without even playing!
Oh well, it could be worse: I could be playing chess 🤷
No this is the Pinnacle of humor. Nothing could possibly be funnier than this…
What about, hear me out here, what about if a man, like an old man, and not just any old man, a scientist, a old man scientist in a labcoat, what about, wait for it, what about if he were to, hold on, if he were to, here it comes, turn himself into a pickle?! Funniest shit I’ve ever seen.
I call them Meat Bees, but they are a species of Yellowjacket -https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellowjacket?wprov=sfti1
Fun fact: They’re not eating it, they just chop bits off for their little siblings.
Yes, that is the subversion of expectations that makes this a joke.
None steak with left bees
Some people are so allergic that they need different cooking stations to prepare their food and this also tells the person preparing to wear different gloves
Presumably you do need to tell them “no nuts because I’m allergic”.
“Not nuts bee 'cause I’m allergic”
Yeah, bee allergies are serious
Bingo. My coworker needed this almost everywhere that served baked goods because she had a serious cinnamon allergy. Depending on what was being made, it could be bad enough that just the scent of something baking that contained a decent amount of cinnamon, like pies, would be enough to need a couple Benadryl.
That is a rare allergy!
Also sounds non fatal, so not the kind of thing they worry about on packaging.
I’m allergic to banana boat sunscreen, I should tell waiters not to put it in my food
How many times did you eat that sunscreen and think your symptoms were from something else before you realized the real cause?
That’s nuts.
Her, at the funeral: “He needs his glasses! He can’t see without his glasses!”
You forgot to include nuclear waste and finger nails. Rookie mistake.
I get it, I say that about onions, because lots of things come with onions without announcing it. Want a loaded baked potato, or baked potato soup? Don’t forget to tell them No Onions, even the little green ones, or I’ll be picking them out with my fork.
I’ll have the pasta, no penicillin please
How do I get a drink with no ice in it? Every time I say “no ice”, I get ice. I even tried asking for no ice, the drink, no ice, in a glass with no ice, and STILL GOT ICE WITH IT.
You probably said “ice” so many times that they couldn’t stop thinking about ice.
As an analogy, if I tell you not to think about an elephant, what’s the first thing you think about?
Giraffe!
Adding ice is just filling your cup with 60% water. Filling the same cup with the same drink and no ice would be less profitable because you’d wait longer to order another.
Except I get water. I just want water, with no ice
Yes but that’s the reason why adding ice is the standard, if not policy.
My wife has the same problem, something we do if we havent been to a place before (our regular places are goos about no ice) she will order “water no ice” and Ill get something that is not water. If her water comes with ice she tell the server “sorry I asked for not ice”, Ill chime in with “Ill take this glass then” and smile at the server. Next glass is always no ice and the server doesnt feel like they wasted effort because the water they did bring is going to be drunk.
Ice cheap, drink expensive?
And then they bring you steak with bees because the server’s new and she doesn’t quite understand the kitchen shorthand yet.
Hate when that happens.
If you’re not gluten-intolerant, you’ll be surprised to know how many things they put flour into. It’s so ubiquitous to the human diet you can find it in virtually everything across all kinds of cuisine.
This scenario was basically my life’s story and I had to do this every time I went to restaurant back then. Thankfully I’m no longer gluten-sensitive.
P.S. Even factory-made plain potato chips aren’t safe. (Check the labels very carefully!)
Restaurants want people to always tell their server if they have any allergies regardless if it’s in the thing is they are ordering. Not all menu items may list every single ingredient in the description and people have some uncommon allergies. Garlic is ubiquitous and it might in your salad dressing. Tell your server if you are allergic. Plus, cross contamination is a thing and chefs need to know to be mindful. Did nuts come anywhere near that salad? Let’s make sure that doesn’t happen.
Always say something just to be safe.
