Brooklyn Bar Menu Generator (2015)
- alex_young 4y agoGRANITE & KNIGHT frightened lamb with artisanal bison 8 chorizo discs with country rice bombs & market bay leaf 8 water 15 Seems about right.
- smoldesu 4y agoFinally, the proof that artificial intelligence can replace the most sophisticated jobs around!
- zug_zug 4y agoI mean, this is kinda funny and plausible, but also I absolutely loved the food at most of those types of places in Brooklyn, really only 50% more expensive than ihop for meals that have 5x as many ingredients.
- version_five 4y agoI think you underestimate how many ingredients are in IHOP food (Edit) to wit: https://m.nutritionix.com/ihop/3-original-buttermilk-pancakes/?show https://m.nutritionix.com/ihop/3-original-buttermilk-pancake...
- bombcar 4y agoYeah usually the more expensive the food the fewer ingredients (and more identifiable). Of course when you get down to CMOT’s sausages they’re back to one ingredient - “meat”.
- colechristensen 4y agoThis, whatever, New American cuisine is indeed often pretty good despite the sense of how impressed with themselves the restauranteurs are. There’s a pretty good indicator that the worst of this food is often the most interested in style, though it can be hard to separate passion and attention to detail from desire to put on a show.
- jakedata 4y agoI'll be submitting this to my local office for tomorrow's lunch. We use a shared Google sheet for ordering, should be pretty amusing to see who doesn't get the joke.
- andirk 4y agoPlease report back. Make sure it has at least a couple absolutely absurd items otherwise it's not funny.
- woah 4y agoYou can use ChatGPT to get the recipes for these: ------ spicy marrow & sea-salt farfalle bun Ingredients: 1/2 cup bone marrow, chopped 1/4 tsp chili flakes 1/4 tsp sea salt 4 farfalle buns Instructions: Preheat your grill or broiler to high heat. In a small bowl, mix together the bone marrow, chili flakes, and sea salt. Split the farfalle buns in half and spread the bone marrow mixture on the cut side of each bun. Grill or broil the buns for 2-3 minutes, or until the bone marrow is melted and the buns are toasty. Serve the buns warm, with any additional toppings of your choice (such as arugula or tomato slices). ------ fingerling ramp & blistered corn discs Ingredients: 1 cup fingerling ramps (or green onions), trimmed and chopped 1 cup fresh corn kernels 4 plums, pitted and quartered 1 tbsp olive oil 1 tsp salt 1 tsp black pepper 2 tbsp butter 1 tbsp honey Instructions: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Brush this mixture over the plums and set aside. In a separate small bowl, mix together the butter and honey. Set aside. On a grill-safe pan, place the fingerling ramps and corn kernels in a single layer. Grill for 3-4 minutes, or until the ramps are slightly wilted and the corn is starting to blister. Remove the pan from the grill. Place the plums on the grill, skin side down. Grill for 2-3 minutes, or until the plums are tender and slightly caramelized. Remove the plums from the grill and brush with the honey butter mixture. To serve, place the grilled plums on top of the grilled ramps and corn. Serve hot and enjoy!
- uoaei 4y agoThese sound crazy enough to work! Assuming you can work out what exactly is a "farfalle bun".
- fasthands9 4y agoTo me these show what is lacking in ChatGPT. In college (like 12 years ago) we all had to make a text markov chain generator. The result were sentences which were grammatically correct but meaningless and random (He went to the library and saw a golden goat). I sorta feel like like Chat GPT is doing that but with more ability to weight on higher level structure and weight on patterns in outside text. But these obviously are not real recipes and wouldnt work in real life. There's still not logic. It just seems like like better markov chain text generation.
- yonatron 4y agoBloody brilliant! Thank you!

- hunter2_ 4y agoThat's quite a back-button trap. Not infinite, just equal to forward navigation (which would be fine if each click of the back button did something visible).
- andirk 4y agoI was on a date and suggested we go to this ___ & ___ place that I hate that thought she might like it. She replied like "Eh places with an ampersand? Let's not". I thought I was the only one who knew that. The ONLY exception is Smart & Final.
- arriu 4y agoButter —- $13 Lol
- alar44 4y agoNothing about this says Brooklyn to me other than being sort of hipsterish I guess.
- dorolow 4y agoAs an inhabitant of Brooklyn, this is pretty funny and spot on. My only criticism is that the prices are too low. Some of the prices are fine, but the upper bound should be increased to the low 20's.
- pcurve 4y agoYep... "monkfish souffle with natural clam & kraut puree" is minimum $32.
- SkipperCat 4y agoMy favorite was "Vinegar $8" as an appetizer? Or maybe it was a cocktail. Either way, someone on Vanderbilt St would sell that to me (and I'd buy it just because I'd want to tell my friends I bought a vinegar drink).
- hunter2_ 4y agoIn case you would like to tell your friends that, some cocktail bars will make you a shrub.
- frogulis 4y agoIn Taiwan I had a drink made of sour plum vinegar and soda water. Absolutely delicious and refreshing on a hot day! So good I bought a bottle of the vinegar to take home.
- jclem 4y agoMaybe you mean Vanderbilt Ave? Vanderbilt St has no commercial zoning. What many people don't know is that 3 of the pricier restaurants on Vanderbilt Ave are all actually the same restaurant group. Their background is partially the 3-Michelin star Alinea in Chicago via chef Greg Baxtrom. Olmsted was first, then came Maison Yaki, and then Patti Ann's. Olmsted is mostly very good (started great, then got bad during part of the pandemic, now is improving again), but you can still joke about being sold $8 vinegar from them for sure, haha. However, since "midwestern" cuisine is now becoming somewhat trendy, jokes about expensive port wine cheese balls at Patti Ann's ($12) may be more appropriate.
- quickthrower2 4y agoBrooklyn… or anywhere
- xseparator 4y agoSomeone needs to make an Austin variant...
- autotune 4y agoVegan Double Cheeseburger house-made with portobello, walnut, beet, lettuce, pickled onion, organic tomato, vegan cheddar, jalapeño remoulade, flaxseed bun (890 cal)... $17.5
- bombcar 4y agoI’m not seeing “local” or “farm-fresh” - gonna have to knock a buck off.
- autotune 4y agoThe truly funny thing about that is it is a real food menu item and description I cherry picked from a local restaurant. No creativity on my end required.
- weird-eye-issue 4y ago890 calories for a vegan burger before any fries or anything is quite impressive
- autotune 4y agoAgreed, but it honestly still tastes kinda funny compared to a "real burger," having tried it before. If I was going to go full "vegan" I would personally avoid anything pretending to be a burger at a minimum, with the exception of maybe an "Impossible Burger" every now and then if I got a craving as it comes somewhat close. I honestly wouldn't even try going anything close to vegan as a whole until lab-grown meat becomes a real, mass produced, phenomenon. Even then, though, it's hard to say if that would still truly be considered "vegan."
- hunter2_ 4y agoI have no proof that this submission was inspired by this comment [0] but the strong possibility (conceived by me having stumbled across both) is remarkable.

- herrherrmann 4y agoI had the same thought!
- tppiotrowski 4y agoI never lived in NY but I lived in Sydney and there was a neighborhood by the beach called Bondi which was likely very similar to Brooklyn (yuppies, hipsters) and they had an amazing YouTube channel called Bondi Hipsters that satirized all the fads so perfectly. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=HR4n6OVoyYQ https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=HR4n6OVoyYQ
- memco 4y agoLoved this from one dish on mine: > expanded anchovy reduction This is how I will now refer to every ingredient I do not doctor in a recipe.
- bombcar 4y agoThe real trick is these could all just be weirdly named cocktails
- charlesrocket 4y ago`PEACH & FOLK HAM SPREAD 8` sold
- cpfohl 4y ago> market sunflower with distressed fig & free-range anchovy sliders 9 Not for me
- wizardforhire 4y agoMiniature Acorn - $11 This is would be at least $18
- agentwiggles 4y agoI got "Acorn - $15" which gave me a good chuckle
- user3939382 4y agoImplied is: the portions are small, the food isn’t very good, the service is mediocre or bad.

- pasdechance 4y agoI saw this yesterday on /r/AskReddit and bookmarked it too. I am wondering if there is a Parisian hipster version.
- durnygbur 4y agoI always have hard time understanding menus in English and imagining how on earth it will look like, or what it is even. This is a proof that nothing is wrong with me.
