Now I'm simply curious. How much does a MuckDonald's quarter pounder weigh?
I do believe it is .25 lb of beef before being cooked.

I always saw these mug clubs while traveling and wanted to be part of one, but was never in the same place enough to justify. And my **** town has no brew pubsYet another reason I love the local brewpub, all the pint glasses are 20oz and has "An Honest Pint Guaranteed" screened on to it. The literature states that it is 20oz so you can have the proper head and still get a pint of beer.
OTOH I'm in the "Mug club" so I get a 25oz mug, best one time $25 I ever spent (also has other benefits)
yeah, 1/4 pound if precooked weight as are I believe all restaurant meat weight claims.I do believe it is .25 lb of beef before being cooked.

And what's wrong with ice in your Scotch, expensive or otherwise? Drink it how you like it. It doesn't ruin the whisky, no matter what the snobs might say.It's crap like that at restaurants I can't stand. Like neat charges for scotch. Who the hell has expensive scotch on the rocks anyways? (Yeah, I know, there's always someone...)

Sometimes I'm in the mood for a neat "expensive" Scotch, sometimes I'll put in on the rocks to taste how the flavor changes as the ice melts and it mixes with water. Does that make me "someone"?

hahahaha guiltyI think you are the "someone" he was referring to.

ahhhh...thats why I love Germany, every glass that you get any kind of liquid in, coffee, soda, beer, has a line on it, and by LAW they must fill it to that line.
Yes. Supposedly the neat charge is added because the restaurant adds just a little bit extra to the poured amount so as to make it look bigger in the glass. That would be fine except:Wait, am I missing something here?
You are getting charged for NOT having ice in your drink? Like... you order an oz of scotch ... and it costs you extra to not have anything added to it?
Sorry... it's past my bedtime... maybe I'm not understanding something...
It's all about truth in advertising.
Yes. Supposedly the neat charge is added because the restaurant adds just a little bit extra to the poured amount so as to make it look bigger in the glass. That would be fine except:
1. How can you be sure they added the extra?
2. Given what the OP stated about beer I wouldn't be surprised if some places just charged you extra money without pouring additional whiskey.
3. Restaurants (in my experience) generally hide the neat charge, until it's time to pay.
They make 20oz shakers for 16oz pours.
Good advice, thanks.I see you have missed the go around for the neat charge. Have them toss a single cube in. Then when you get your scotch, remove it. A good scotch should have a small drab of ice water anyway to bring out the bouquet.
Yikes, 127 posts in about 6 hours? You guys have been busy
Anyway, going back to the OP, I see this stuff all the time. I go to a bar-not even a restaurant, necessarily- and order a beer. They ask if I want a mug or a pint. I always say a pint. Then they pour my beer into a 12 oz glass. I say, that's not a pint, it's 12oz. So then I have to buy a 12 oz bottle of something and pour it into the glass to prove it to them. When they see that, they don't know what to say, except "gee, I was always told they were pint glasses".
Never been there. I usually hang out at Brasserie V, The Brocach, The Irish Pub, Porta Bella, or Gino's. I live on the east side pretty close to downtown and that's where the closest good bars and pubs are.The other benefit of the single ice cube is it will bring the temp of the scotch closer to a proper serving temp. Even most of the best Scotch bars leave their bottles under bright lights and are serving hot Scotch, which is way less than ideal.
Where do you hang out in Madison? I get out there every once in a while. We always end up at the Weary Traveler. That's my favorite spot.
