Customer said my pork chops looked like shoe leather
Guy comes up to my counter last Saturday. Points at a tray of my center-cut chops. Says they looked dry and tough. I was mad at first. Then I looked closer. He was right. I was trimming too much fat off. Kept the cap but cut the rest too close. Now I leave a solid 1/4 inch of fat on the edge. Chops stay juicy. Nobody's complained since. What's your biggest customer complaint that actually helped you?

...and it's pork chops. Like, the stakes aren't exactly high here. You trimmed some fat off and it got a little dry. Big deal. I'm glad your customers are happy now, but acting like this was some huge revelation that changed your whole craft feels a bit dramatic. It's a piece of pork, not a Michelin star dish. People eat them with ketchup anyway.

Some people really do get carried away with basic cooking, don't they?
