hello English Learners welcome back to
another great podcast here at English
pod my name is Marco and I'm Erica and
today we're going to be talking about
one of our favorite topics as always
food food we're going to be at a
restaurant and you know one of the most
difficult or embarrassing things to deal
with at a restaurant is um what to say
when you don't like the food or when
it's bad quality food right so maybe we
have to complain about the food or maybe
even the service right that's right and
in this lesson we're going to be
learning some some really wonderful um
words and phrases that you can use when
you need to complain about the food or
the service in a restaurant okay so
before we listen to what happens in this
restaurant with this food let's take a
look very quickly at vocabulary preview
vocabulary preview okay we're only going
to do one word today uh and this you'll
hear in the dialogue um an
establishment establishment this kind of
establishment okay so when I say an
establishment that's a noun what is an
establishment it's basically a fancy
word for a business or a restaurant in
this case in this case it's a restaurant
but in general you can say it's a
business M so you have a very fine
establishment that's right so an
establishment a type of business a place
of business really very good all right
so now it's time for us to listen to our
dialogue we're going to find out what's
going on here apparently there is a very
angry customer and we're going to find
out
[Music]
why excuse me waiter yes sir what can I
do for you I've been sitting here for
the past 20 minutes and no one has
offered me a glass of water brought any
bread to the table and our appetizer
haven't been served yet you know in this
kind of establishment I'd expect much
better service I'm sorry sir I'll check
on your order right away relax honey the
place is busy tonight and I've heard the
food is amazing anyway here you are sir
the fog W for the lady and a mushroom
soup for
you waiter I heard a cream of mushroom
soup with asparagus the soup is
obviously too runny and it's over
seasoned it's completely inedible okay I
do apologize for that can I bring you
another soup or would you like to order
something else take this F back as well
it's rubbery and completely overcooked
and look at the portion size how can you
charge $25 for a sliver of duck liver
right away sir
honey come on the f c was fine why are
you making such a big deal are you
trying to get our meal comped again what
do you mean we are paying for this and
I'm shelling out my hard-earned bucks I
expect value for money here you are sir
I hope it is all right now the chef has
prepared it especially for you yes
fine honey are you all right
[Laughter]
[Music]
well I guess that's one lesson hey if
you're in a restaurant uh don't be too
rude to the waiter you never know what's
going to happen the waiter and the cook
MH right yeah you don't want to offend
that those uh that kitchen Staff All
right so uh we'll talk about that a
little bit later on but uh now I think
we had some really interesting
vocabulary of how to describe food that
is not well prepared and we can take a
look at that now in language
takeaway language take away all right so
the guy in this in this dialogue he
ordered a mushroom soup and he
complained that the mushroom soup was
too runny okay the soup is too runny
runny so he wanted a cream of mushrooms
so it should be a little bit thicker yep
but in this case it was runny so when
something is runny it's too liquid too
liquid and I think we can relate it to a
runny nose right exactly okay so when
liquid is coming out of your nose a
runny nose in this case the soup is
runny all right and another thing that
he was complaining about the food was
over seasoned over seasoned the food is
over seasoned okay so if the food is
over seasoned it's too salty so it's
another way of saying it's too salty
yeah it's kind of a fancy um a cooking
term now can I say if there's too much
pepper in the food can I say it's over
seasoned well um technically no when
when a cook says something is over
seasoned he's talking salt only only
salt okay so the the cream of mushroom
is very runny it's overseason and he
said it's completely inedible inedible
it's inedible inedible now this word
edible you can eat it you can eat it so
we had this prefix inedible you cannot
eat it this is not possible Y and it it
doesn't mean that physically you can't
eat it it just means it's pretty
disgusting okay this food is inedible
mhm and then he started to complain
about the other dish and he said that
it's rubbery rubbery the the fagra was
rubbery all right so I think we notice
the word rubber mhm so obviously if if a
food is rubbery it tastes or it it it's
too chewy it's like chewing on the
bottom of your shoe right okay so it's
it's too hard to chew or to swallow
exactly all right apparently the food
was rubbery because it's completely
overcooked overcooked all right we have
overcooked so when something is
overcooked I mean it's it's easy to
understand that it's cooked too much mhm
but it doesn't mean that it's burnt
right no so maybe you've ordered your
steak to be rare but it comes to you
well done so it's not burnt but it's
cooked too much so also I guess we can
say like chicken sometimes if you
overcook chicken it comes out too dry
yep all right so to overcook something
mhm and and finally he was complaining
about the size of the dish and he said
um this is a sliver of duck liver okay a
sliver a sliver all right now this word
sliver is like a slice right a very
small tiny little slice okay so we can
say okay I just want a sliver of bacon
for breakfast all right why don't we
hear a few more examples of how we can
use
sliver example
one no John's on a diet he'll just have
a sliver of cake and no ice
cream example
two I'm really full but it looks so
delicious can you just cut me a
sliver example three
you call this sliver of beef on my plate
of meal there's almost nothing
here and those are all the words we had
for language takeaway now you have so
we've given you different adjectives of
describing food that is not well
prepared so now let's move on to some
other phrases that the customer used to
complain in fluency
Builder fluency Builder Okay so before
we get to the customer complaining
language I want to look at a phrase that
the waiter used to apologize he said I
do apologize I do apologize I do
apologize now why is this phrase so uh
interesting well I mean it's pretty easy
to understand the meaning but I want to
look at why he added this uh verb do mhm
well he added the verb do uh to this
phrase to make it um seem a little bit
stronger to give a little more power to
his apology right so if you have an
affirmative phrase like I apologize
it's good yeah but if you want to give
it a little bit more emphasis you can
say I do apologize why don't we give an
example um so I might say this Marco I
didn't know we had a party tonight and I
might say what I did tell you about it
last week right so you're just giving a
little bit more power to the statement
that you told me mhm so this do did does
becomes an auxiliary to make it more
powerful to give it more emphasis yeah
exactly so and and neat little phrase uh
something you can use if you want to
make your apologies sound maybe a little
bit stronger all right now moving on to
the next phrase he was complaining about
the food and it was terrible and he said
I'm shelling out my hard-earned bucks
okay let's let's break this one down
into two sections we'll start with
shelling out all right so to Shell out
so when you shell out you pay for
something all right but this gives you
the Sensation that you are that you
don't don't really want to pay you're a
bit unhappy about it right so you want
to Shell out your money mhm why don't we
listen to some examples to show us how
we can use this phrase to Shell
out example
one great it's my girlfriend's birthday
this month so I'm going to have to Shell
out for a
present example
two I really want those shoes but I
can't really afford to Shell out $400
example
three I can't believe it Ella shelled
out the 800 bucks for the tickets I
thought I would have to
pay all right so now that we understand
shell out let's move on to the second
part of that sentence my hard earned
bucks hard-earned bucks my hard-earned
bucks okay so bucks are dollars right
dollars only dollars right yeah not not
pounds not Euros um but his hard-earned
bucks is money he had to work really
hard for mhm so I can also say my
hard-earned money mhm right or my
hard-earned cash exactly very good so
you worked hard to get it all right so
three three great phrases that can be
used when you're complaining in a
restaurant and why don't we hear them
one last time in context by listening to
the
[Music]
dialogue excuse me waiter yes sir what
can I do for you I've been sitting here
for the past 20 minutes and no one has
offered me a glass of water brought any
bread to the table and our appetizer
haven't been served yet you know in this
kind of establishment I'd expect much
better service I'm sorry sir I'll check
on your order right away relax honey the
place is busy tonight and I've heard the
food is amazing anyway here you are sir
the fog W for the lady and a mushroom
soup for
you waiter I heard a cream of mushroom
soup with asparagus the soup is
obviously too runny and it's over
seasoned it's completely inedible okay I
I do apologize for that can I bring you
another soup or would you like to order
something else take this back as
well it's rubbery and completely
overcooked and look at the portion size
how can you charge $25 for a sliver of
duck liver right away sir honey come on
the F was fine why are you making such a
big deal are you trying to get our meal
comped again what do you mean we are
paying for this and I'm shelling out my
hard-earned bucks I expect you for money
here you are sir I hope it is all right
now the chef has prepared it especially
for you yes
fine honey are you all right
[Applause]
so complaining in a restaurant and
actually sending food back is not
uncommon in the US yeah of course uh if
the food's bad of course you're going to
send it back mhm but maybe in other
cultures I think people would be a
little bit more reluctant to do
something like this yeah but hey you
know what's an interesting thing about
the way Americans eat in restaurants is
sometimes at the end of the meal if they
haven't finished everything they might
ask for a doggy bag a doggy bag yeah
yeah so what is that a doggy bag well
usually if you order a big meal or you
know half your steak is left over on
your plate uh you would ask for a doggy
bag and they would bring you a little
box or a bag and you would take it to
supposedly give it to your dog right so
it's sort of like like you tell the
waiter oh you know the steak was so good
I couldn't finish it can I take some
home to my dog right so you would just
ask waiter can I have a doggy bag right
but you it's it's sort of like code for
I'm going to eat this tomorrow for lunch
exactly because people wouldn't really
give it to their dogs I mean you know
that that steak wrapped up in a fancy
sort of foil Swan is going to be a
pretty delicious the next day right yeah
it's actually very common in the US but
in other countries people will leave
yeah entire plates of food on the table
be totally impolite to ask the waiter to
pack up the food for you exactly so a
little bit of cultural differences but
we want to know what you think and how
things are done maybe in your country
with complaining or sending food back or
even this whole whole doggy bag
situation that's right why don't you
visit our website englishpod do.com and
tell us about it all right we'll be
there to answer any questions or
comments but we got to go now so until
