    These are the average restaurant tipping rates in 12 U.S. metro areas

    1. Cleveland: 20.6%
    2. Denver: 19.8%
    3. Salt Lake City: 19.6%
    4. Phoenix: 19.5%
    5. Richmond: 19.3%
    6. Chicago: 19.3%
    7. New Orleans: 19.0%
    8. New York: 18.7%
    9. Washington, D.C.: 18.6%
    10. Seattle: 18.0%
    11. Los Angeles: 17.5%
    12. San Francisco: 17.0%

    The etiquette of tipping in the digital payments age

    The Toast study was based on transactions where the tip was added via credit card or digital payment, which feels apt. Just about every transaction you make these days, it seems, comes with a tablet being flipped in your direction with suggested tip amounts.

    Having worked in the restaurant industry, I always considered myself a good tipper, at least where sit-down table service was concerned. As long as the server doesn't stick a fork in my eye, they get 20% — more if they're especially good.

    When it comes to those tablets, I tend to get a little more confused. I recently picked a few things up at a local grocer/convenience store/deli, and when the touchscreen flipped, I was prompted to tip 20%, 22%, or 25%. On a 12-pack of beer and some chips and dip I'd have normally tipped, well, nothing.

    The act of picking up take out-  That’s not service that warrants a 20% tip.  You put chop sticks in my bag and carry the bag five feet and then hand  me the bag-  that’s not worth 20% 
     

    Looks like Clevelanders are some generous people. We had some downtown San Diego eating establishments doing 4% surcharges on bills.   Started about 4 years ago because of minimum wage increases… Add in the 7.5% tax rate.  You get 11.5% in some places before you tip.  

    I have No problem with tipping 20%.  90% of the service I get is great.   It is only 4% But I hated the move the surcharge that restaurant owners added to bills. 

  • I like Tuna or Salmon patties.  Eat them straight up or on a bun.

    I have a small George Foreman. Perfect size for 2 sandwiches or 2 thick patties. They aren't good for a lot of things, but for a grilled sandwich or Salmon/Tuna patties, they can't be beat.

    Oh yes !       We do that often on a dish  -or-  on a bunch it's your choice you can't go wrong with either.  Just use your favorite marinade or tartar or better yet nothing  extra on your delicious fish sandwich. 

    i like my steelhead trout with my wife's Ina Garten inspired  "go to"  simple Dijon mustard marinade.  

    Steelhead trout now just ahead of Salmon or other fish bur you can't miss with any of them  -and-  they are so GOOD for you  !     😁

    You can't go wrong with that.  Perfect straight up on a meat of some sort or the base of a sauce or marinade.  Hard to screw it up if you start with that.

    As someone who has actually eaten the things, that recipe leaves out an important step IMO.  You then have to fry them up in a little bacon grease after the boil.

  • I remember back in Jacksonville, NC every Saturday in front of Gibsons store they would have them, the would barbeque them outside in a large area in the parking lot.  The whole neighborhood smelled like shit.

  • How about a  -GAMEDAY-  Opening Day  PIZZERIA-STYLE STROMBOLI  ?  WHY NOT !

    You don't need to leave your kitchen to make a pizzeria-worthy stromboli. These "bake" perfectly in your air fryer! You see, the air fryer allows hot air to circulate all around the stromboli, which results in a crunchy-on-the-outside, yet tender-on-the-inside crust. Plus, there's all the molten meat and cheese filling too. In the end, you get to enjoy a really delicious, authentic-tasting stromboli!

    Maxim's in Mentor makes terrific Stromboli's... The place is owned and run by former boxer Joe Maxim's family... Been a customer there for over 30 years from when they were on 185th street in Cleveland.
