Restaurants that paint fake “grill marks” on their steaks should be sued for fraud

Have you ever seen a restaurant actually do that? I’m asking honestly, because I myself haven’t.

[-]

AanthonyII@reddit

I feel like it’d be more effort to fake it than to actually do it

[-]

The easiest way would be to heat up a dedicated metal object and just brand the marks on. Probably lead to overcooked meat, but any restaurant that wants to do that also wants to make sure that they've killed everything they know is definitely infesting their meat.

And it still seems like more trouble than it's worth. Probably doesn't happen.

Right, literally easier to just actually grill them than fake it.

[-]

Bandit_the_Kitty@reddit

Unless they only have a flat grill (think diner style big hot surface), which won't make marks like a fired grill.

[-]

SphericalCrawfish@reddit

And for $12 you can get a little cast iron thing you can heat on the flat top and brand on the marks.

DeadSpatulaInc@reddit

Which is exactly what gravity kills suggested, and you claimed was too much effort.

[-]

SphericalCrawfish@reddit

No, I agreed with him. That's what putting "Right" at the beginning means.

[-]

DeadSpatulaInc@reddit

I just suppose it sounds like it’s super easy to fake, particularly if you don’t have a grill in the first place. Barely an inconvenience. They have a tool that makes it super easy.

[-]

SphericalCrawfish@reddit

It's not fake if they are seared in.

Yes, McDonald's: https://www.accc.gov.au/media-release/mcdonalds-grilled-chicken-burger

Elysiume@reddit

The patties are then subject to treatment on a "heat and control rotary brander". This device sears the surface of the patty, imparting parallel grill marks;

The grill marks are real, it's just frozen afterwards and the argument was that the process in its entirety do not constitute a "grilled chicken burger."

Complete and utter bullshido post.

ActorMonkey@reddit

Read the article. No paint involved. Heat.

[-]

ActorMonkey@reddit

WTF are you taking about? No one does that.

[-]

Scrangdorber@reddit

McDonald's used to and they got in trouble for it:

ActorMonkey@reddit

No they didn’t. “The patties are then subject to treatment on a "heat and control rotary brander". This device sears the surface of the patty, imparting parallel grill marks” no ink involved. No printing. Just fast superficial grill marks using heat. No paint.

[-]

SteakAndIron@reddit

They will just use a hot iron to put sear marks on food that was not actually cooked on a grill tho

[-]

ActorMonkey@reddit

They? Which restaurant have you been to where you saw them do this?

[-]

SteakAndIron@reddit

Applebee's does this

[-]

ActorMonkey@reddit

Applebees pregrills their meat to cook the outside first then heats the inside for service. But they don’t use paint or ink or dye.

PM_ME_YOUR_TATERTITS@reddit

I’m sure somewhere in the world it’s happening. Probably not that often though

[-]

ActorMonkey@reddit

Whatever you say, tatertits

[-]

LamoTheGreat@reddit

What are tatertits? Potato shaped tits? Or tit shaped potatoes?

[-]

PM_ME_YOUR_TATERTITS@reddit

According to my dm’s it’s both

[-]

Efficient_Fish2436@reddit

I neeed to see for scientific reasons.

[-]

GarethBaus@reddit

Interesting.

[-]

BaitmasterG@reddit

Restaurants that paint tits on taters should be sued for fraud

[-]

SolidOutcome@reddit

Burger King?

Only one I can think of that might

[-]

Oldamog@reddit

Well good news is that you're not lost

Bad news is that your idea of painting meat is actually the crazy part

[-]

ballsnbutt@reddit

Places do it

[-]

ActorMonkey@reddit

I....how? You want me to drag you into a pizza shop by your ear?

[-]

ActorMonkey@reddit

Find evidence of it and post it here. If you know they do how did you find out? Work there? Seen it with your own two eyes? Or… hear say?

[-]

ballsnbutt@reddit

I work in a pizza shop.

[-]

ActorMonkey@reddit

So you don’t know. Youre making shit up?

[-]

ballsnbutt@reddit

I...what? You asled if I work in one?

[-]

ActorMonkey@reddit

Painted or pre grilled?

[-]

ballsnbutt@reddit

No worries, and yeah certain special items will have grill marks PAINTED on. Aint nobody cook a precooked thin crust on a grill and then send it to us 😂 it comes from some conveyor belt

[-]

ActorMonkey@reddit

Cheers.
