Do u dont wanna A restaurant tried to pull a switch-a-roo on the type of meat I was served.

So a group of us went to a local popular American chain steakhouse restaurant and all ordered different dishes. I ordered a filet, when my food arrived, I thought the steak looked more like a sirloin than a filet.

Upon taking my first bite it was chewy and not buttery like a filet. It was supposed to be an 8oz filet, it was more like 12oz sirloin, 2nd bite confirmed it was definitely not a filet.

I must’ve been visibly upset because the manager walked over and asked if everything was ok, to which I questioned the cut. She said it was a filet (but I think she went based on the toppings that are only offered on the filet). I said hmm ok, I guess.

She offered to switch it if I was not happy, I said it was fine, however, she insisted, so I accepted.. The second steak was a filet, appearance, taste and texture.. only the cook made it EXTRA peppery for me.. jokes on them I appreciated the extra pepper :)

Same with when they claim real crab in a sushi roll and its minced and mixed with mayo.

I don't know if it counts as irony, but I always use the label "real crab" in sushi to scope out some surumi, if it's not priced like real crab would be, since I live inland now and prefer that to "fresh" salmon and tuna rolls hidden beneath 5x the amount of avocado that should be used with them...which I also have a gripe about, when did all the cucumber get replaced with avocado? Is this a fad that is ever going to end?
