This guy at a food festival in Austin told me my brisket looked 'like a meteorite that tasted good'
Honestly, he was holding a whole plate of it and just stared at it for a solid ten seconds before he said anything. Anyone else had a customer describe their food in a way that was just completely wild?

Stared at it for a solid ten seconds" is the best part. People get stunned by good food and their brains just short circuit. Andrew's right to take the weird compliment, it happens more than you'd think. The brain just grabs the first wild comparison it can find.

Honestly that ten second stare could just be confusion. Sometimes weird food comparisons come from a place of not knowing how to describe taste at all. Calling a steak "life changing" feels lazy, like they couldn't be bothered to say what was actually good about it. It's not a short circuit, it's a vocabulary fail. A real compliment takes more effort than the first random thing that pops into your head.
