This is NOT Bernaise Sauce

by Ed Vermillion » Thu Mar 10, 2011 11:23 pm

Ordered a steak sandwich for dinner tonight at The Bristol-Prospect. The menu lists this item is served with bernaise sauce. What arrived on my plate with the sandwich is what is pictured. I asked the server if this was the bernaise sauce. He said yes.

This is NOT bernaise sauce. This is just sad.

I thought it was white rice, before I read the full post. I was wondering where the sauce was...

I can't believe any self respecting restaurant chef would serve something that looked like that at all, disregarding the fact he called it Bernaise Sauce! It looks more like moldy cottage cheese than anything else and certainly something I wouldn't want to eat.

Really now, folks....Hasn't ANYBODY heard of multi-function products?

This amazing substance is specially formulated to be used as any of the above-mentioned items, as well as:
1. bleu cheese dressing
2. garlic-mashed-potato concentrate
3. guacamole blanco
4. autobody Bondo compound (dries clear; can be painted)
5. arthritis-relief cream
6. cream of mushroom soup base
7. no-melt ice cream
8. German chocolate frosting
9. dishwasher detergent (the amount pictured can clean and sanitize a full load of tableware, but may remove the color from some china)
