The background details are like being stabbed three times.

I have seen this place in many different locations and they were all horrible.

If it’s on purpose yeah I can see it being bad.

If it’s some coincidental repurposing or was like that from previous generations there might be some hope. For the food at least.
I’ve been to some middle of nowhere places to eat.

absolutely. I know these places x3

WTF who serves an empanada in a jar :'v

and with what seems to be a jalapeño, of all things why that?!

Ají maybe???
:'v

Looks good on Insta.
Tastes terrible.

Which is just...what's the point? A nice instagram photo <<<<<< a good meal with your partner.

…Hopefully it at least tastes good?

It will not.

Food that looks good in photographs will be dry and terrible. Hence every food photographer being like "Oh, no, anything that looks appetizing in a photograph past 1985 is an inedible lie. Ice cream is actually crisco so it doesn't melt under the hot lights. Chicken will be raw and braised with a torch lest it look "saggy".

empanada_en_frasco is the best tag ever xD

*googles*

So that's what this is.
....
Oh.

That AC/DC sleeveless is something that needs to exist in real life.

Google is your spying, monopolized friend:

and the price?
30 dollars per empanada

Now now. It's $29.95 and there's a little bit of gold leaf on the edge...

i fuckin wheezed, thank you lmao

I hate porteños so much.

I bet the tablet at the checkout counter defaults to 40% tip

I sincerely feel like boomer contemplating why he’s waiting to devour the mason jar empanada

What the heck are those things they’re eating?

racially charged hate crimes

That’s not funny

I think it's an empanada in a jar.

Thank you

ahí se fue la mitad del sueldo de Boomer, pero lo que sea con tal de consentir a su tigre

Is that pierogi in a jar?!

OMG, it's like Austin's overpriced, pretentious spin on Mexican food. X.x

... is that a cornish pastie and jalapeno peppers in a mason jar?

Boomer, I feel your pain.

Boomer just wants a steak, and Miles looks trucker enough that he should want one, too. This is payback for the time Miles wanted to see Barbie, and Boomer selected Oppenheimer.

You know I forgot all about that, I guess that does make this even ^^

i'm, actually, gonna take a bit of a different "tact" with this scenario:

miles.. ..is supposed to be a Millennial, yeah?

well, i'm a millennial, myself (albeït, one who's a few years older than this tiger)..
..and, i don't engage in any of these behaviours

i'm sure miles is a nice guy but..
..i fear, i have to deliberate that he's fairly ditzy / kinda vapid

if he reckons this is "where it's at"


these traits, i know for a fact, are not tied to any one generation:

one aspect of reality which many people (regardless of age) don't take into account, is how when boomer—who, as a gentleman who's probably 52 now, is actually a Gen X'r—was growing up, there simply weren't that many people around

in 1985, there were ~4.85 billion people; in 1995, ~5.73B
2024 — ~8.02B

so it seems..
..that with all of the innovations in safety & medicine, more "tender-headed" folks were allowed to survive for longer than they should have
(more "tender-headed" folks, promulgating their Tender-Headed Genes)

---

i'm something of an "in-betweener" of boomer and miles...
...yet, i find myself relating to the old man more (and, most)

what i had originally wanted to open up with was, the behaviour the kitten in exhibiting, strikes me as something more akin to the intersection of gen z / gen alpha bullshit

i originally wanted to open with that..
..but, when i had done some reflecting on some possible root causes for the fuckery, i relented (if only a little)


you do know, that if you old folks had, in your time, the technology we have now, you-all would've been doing the exact same thing as the young pups today are — yes?

I'll be brave enough to say it: I want to eat that specifically just because it looks weird, I want a kitchen with exposed brick and edison bulbs, and I believe if you don't have a sign that says EAT in your bar or kitchen then you're not really living.

If somewhere came and served me an empanada like that, I would have words...several words, mostly in french [my default for cursing]

r/weneedplates

Okay, but look how happy the tiger is.
Isn't that what REALLY matters? :3

Boomer, takin' a bullet for his beau. What a champ.

Oh god, that background is full of red flags for "overpriced ✨ aesthetics ✨"

looks like feet in a jar
num num

like theyre drawn really well, great job
jus sayin thems feet baby
his reaction fits

Something tells me they should've just went for burgers like last time.

Is that a curry puff?

Good things can come in mason jars at a restaurant, but in my experience those are mostly drinks at places where the a rustic vibe.

The jar really brings out the empanada's flavor, I guess?

Boomer's expression says it all.

Poor dad, that empanada is going to get stuck between his teeth. xD

I don't know what those are but a quick search suggests they come in a cheese variety, so I'm with Miles on this one.
