In a world where viral videos are the norm, a recent one has caught the attention of many.
A customer of a popular steakhouse chain showcased her unique method of slyly pocketing cutlery from the establishment.
The Incident
The video begins with a seemingly innocent setup: four white styrofoam-to-go containers stacked atop each other. The use proceeds to remove the containers one by one.
The anticipation builds as viewers expect to see delicious leftovers from a hearty meal.
However, the third container reveals a surprise: instead of food, it contains a fork and steak knife taken directly from the restaurant. The text overlay on the video cheekily asks,
“If you don’t take silverware every time you go out to eat, wyd?”
Public Reaction and Commentary
The video quickly gained traction, amassing over 855,000 views and receiving more than 380 comments. The caption humorously states,
“Dont come for me, its tradition. Thanks for the knife Texas Roadhouse ”
Interestingly, this act of pilfering cutlery isn’t unique to this individual. Several viewers chimed in with their own confessions.
One person mentioned,
“I’ve bought one set of silverware when I was 18. I’ve since been collecting from restaurants. 26 now, I never need to clean a spoon; one’s always available.”
Another added,
“The little cups come home with me almost every time. I’m not scooping out my mashed potatoes; you bet they’re staying in their bowl.”
The Steakhouse in Question
The steakhouse in the spotlight, Texas Roadhouse, is renowned for its Texas and Southwestern-style cuisine.
Established roughly thirty years ago, it has expanded its reach with over 700 restaurants across almost every state in the U.S. and ten foreign countries.
The Larger Issue: Restaurant Thefts
According to St. Louis Magazine[1], the allure of pocketing items from restaurants isn’t limited to cutlery. The smaller and more unique an item is, the more likely it is to be stolen.
Commonly pilfered items include salt and pepper shakers, unusual glassware, bud vases, sake cups, and even napkin rings. Some audacious individuals even go as far as swiping tips left on other people’s tables.
Some observant diners have noted that restaurants might be catching on to these theft practices.
A commenter shared their experience, saying,
“I did this at Longhorns Steakhouse once, and then the next time I went back, they had clear to-go lids to see through.”
Another alleged restaurant worker mentioned the increasing disappearance of their establishment’s silverware.
The Importance of the Steak Knife
The steak knife is more than just a utensil for those unfamiliar with the dining culture at steakhouses. It’s a symbol of the meat-loving experience.
A good steak knife can make all the difference when enjoying a perfectly cooked piece of meat.
The knife’s sharpness, weight, and balance are crucial in the dining experience. This is why establishments like Texas Roadhouse invest in quality steak knives for their patrons.
