Buy the Kitchen a Beer?

Plot twist:
The kitchen never sees or gets the beer.


Its just a money grab

Owner of Stinkys on 30A brought me into the kitchen and hand wrote his smoked tartar sauce recipe and gave me a jar. I bought the kitchen a round .

Only time I’ve done that but I do share wine we might bring with the server or owner/chef.

That's what I was thinking too

City Pork has it on the menu.

Yeah it was yellow door. First time going. Holy crap, amazing tacos.

A little more on the type of restaurants I’ve seen it in where I think it’s appropriate:

In restaurants with open kitchens where communicating and viewing the staff at work is part of the experience, buying the kitchen a beer seems appropriate. When I’ve seen it done right, the kitchen usually acknowledges the purchase. Just throwing it on the menu at random in a closed kitchen seems douchey at best and downright exploitative at worst.

I would do it but leave no tip and a note about the beer being the tip.

Yep. IIRC, it is like $9. I've done it before and actually saw the kitchen drink it.

I've seen it on a menu for like $1 but not for 24

That's shady
