Reciprocate at your home with a great meal next?
Send compliments to the chef via your waiter? Buy a round for the crew?
Make a positive online review. Make plans for them to cater your workplace. Send a nice letter to the owner/manager if you are a pedigreed connected important type or if you had celebrated a special occasion that night, on why it was special?

If you are not that connected, just continue to spread the positive acclaim, the good word and return repeatedly. Having a restaurant recognize you as a regular is pretty nice in general. If you are social like I am, it just expands your family to those you regulary encounter. It's fun to know who has just graduated from college or their newly acquired puppy, or grandkid, and that kind of news from people in your mutual circle. Restaurant staff have their pulse on community goings on too. Find out why the road is torn up outside, or why the expressway had traffic yesterday. Be a human, in other words.

tl;dr

Eat with visible joy, some "mmhhhhmm" sounds here and there, maybe once a "oh, thats good".
SUBTLETY!
Theatrically expalining OH YEAH THAT IS THE BEST MEAL EVER!!
Looks stupid and feels insincere.

Always leave 1 bite to show they gave you just the eight amount of food. Eating everything on the plate shows they didnt give you enough food or that you are a piggy-puff.

>>21531853
That some sort of eastern thing?

>>21531853
the virgin leaving a bite on the plate vs the chad pounding the table and screaming for more

>damn this is some good ass food!
>how come you didn't tell me how good the food was MOTHERFUCKER!

>>21531809 (OP)
>go to dinner with friends
>someone else paying this time
>get sweet and sour chicken
>asked how it was after
>"I cook it better, they didn't even fry the rice"
>mfw that spilled out of my mouth before I could think to stop myself
I hate that I'm like this

>>21531824
Will you fucking zoomer faggots stop using AI to respond to posts? Can you retarded heathens not formulate your own thoughts and opinions?

If it's friends or family, I feel like a simple "that was great, thanks!" is sufficient. If it's a restaurant, your thanks is your payment and maybe a tip, if you're feeling extra generous. Nothing I hate more than customers coming back to "pay their compliments to the chef," there is no chef back here, it's just a bunch of alcoholic losers warming up boxes of frozen Sysco slop, you don't need to interrupt me by thanking me.

Lol it's very pathetic and sadly going to be more and more common

You have to suck my dick, doesnt matter who made it, my dick must be sucked so you can show anyone your appreciation

Kek my friend's 4 year old daughter does this seemingly sarcastically when her parents ask if she likes something she seems to not enjoy

>>21532011
cute

>>21531853
Leaving food would mean to me that you didn't like it enough to finish it. That's the most autistic shit I've read all day

>>21532011
My sixteen month old son claps and does a little dance, when he likes something. I'm considering doing this in public.

>>21531888
but if you are dining out, an honest opinion is totally alright. Maybe phrase it diplomatically so there is "While I really enjoyed our conversation and enjoyed our meal, I may have ordered less than the best thing on the menu. Say something like "I like when the coating stays a bit crisper when they sauce it" or "I prefer a bit more color on my fried rice, they were obviously watching the sodium content tonight" Your choices are very 1960s hong kong style old timey options, btw.

Of course you should expect more skill, but maybe you ordered outside of their "house specialties" section. If they are known for the best ____ in town, and you order other than that?

If you are old like me, you might remember the "oooh ahhh" attention the sizzling platters of fajitas once created. It was theatre. I figured out that my local Cantonese restaurant had every third table getting the "Canton steak" delivered, and it was a crispified, sauced huge filet of beef roast with teriyaki sauce on it, and the right thing to always order along with the giant platter of honey chicken, as far as value goes. That's it, no more sweet and sour pork and egg foo young for me.

My wife starts humming and kinda dance in her chair if she really likes what I cooked while eating

>>21531888
Someone else was paying for your dinner and you still had the chutzpah to say you cook better?

>>21531862
No, it's a respect thing.
>>21531868
How can I be a virgin when I fucked your mom after leaving the last bite of dinner last night?
>>21532028
I'm sorry you are that insecure about your cooking. Just try to improve every dish you make.

>>21532074
I'd honestly be more worried about the fact my "friend" is fucking retarded and never invite him again

>>21532063
Cute

>>21532074
No it isn't nerd

>>21532076
This is how I leave my plate. This should not trigger and make you emotional.

>>21532084
Makes you look like a slob

>>21532090
Explain how?

>>21532059
Thank you, Grok. I did say how I appreciated the supper and being included in our group plans, at least.
>>21532066
The sauce was ketchup and the rice was rice-a-roni. Yes, I can fucking cook better than that.

>>21531853
If I make you food, and you leave a bite on the plate, I'll slap you for wasting my food. I'll slap you right in your little bitch face.

Stand up, pull your pants down, and start shrieking like a banshee as you spray diarrhea on the wall behind you.

>>21531809 (OP)
this is where the term 'OOOOOH MOMMY' comes from
You shout that out as you scoot away from the table to take a fat shit.

>bow
>"arigatou gozaimasu"

>>21532117
You won't slap shit you little pussy boy. We both know you can't cook anything I would even consider eating. If I wanted reheated frozen sloppa or tendies I'd just go to Burger King. Don't get upset with me when it's your parents fault for not teaching you proper manners.

>>21532110
>The sauce was ketchup and the rice was rice-a-roni. Yes, I can fucking cook better than that.
Nigga nobody gives a fuck if you think you can cook better than some random chinese place, you could have said "yeah, it was good thank you" and move on. I doubt they will ever invite you again tbqh

The only way I know what my wife thinks of a meal, is how fast she eats it. She was raised to never complain about food, and to always eat everything on her plate, so even if something is horrible, she'll plow through no matter how much I beg her to stop. Like, sometimes the shit I made for dinner is completely fucked, I can taste that it is completely fucked, I'll be in the process of throwing out my portion, and she'll just keep shoveling bites of disgusting bullshit down her throat at a steady pace. If it's good, she'll eat it faster. She will say it's good no matter what.
If I were a normal person, I'm sure I'd find this sweet and endearing, but I am a chef irl so I crave actual, honest feedback, especially if it's something I've never tried before. I tend to just stick with what I know works, at work, but at home sometimes I want to get a little wild.
Coincidentally, she stopped cooking a long time ago because I am an asshole and I can't eat food without giving honest critiques. She's not a chef, she's never even worked in a restaurant, I shouldn't hold her to the same standards as my sous or my commis, but I can't keep my mouth shut and she perceives it as bullying so she quit. I have no idea why we're in marriage counseling and why we both bring up divorce every now and then.

I want normies to get the FUCK OFF MY BOARD

>>21532129
I'd slap the taste right out of your mouth, you slant eyed, ching chong son of a bitch. In America, or how you would say "Amelica," we clean our fucking plates. We don't leave out little bits of food as sacrifices to ching chong spirits or whatever, we eat what's in front of us.

>>21532146
You're getting emotional now. It's not a good look desu.

>>21532129
So your parents told you to leave food on the plate as a sign of respect?

>>21532149
You know what's not a good look? Your rice hat, your buck teeth, your slimy yellow skin, like a slug, and your slanted eyes, in which you perceive the world in widescreen.

Im a pasty midwesterner you chud. You dont have to be a gook to know how to show respect to those who cook for you.
