This isn't a super serious thread, much like anything a goofball like me posts, but I found it pretty funny actually, so wanted to share it.
A deli/sandwich shop opened up near me and I've been going there for about a year. They have some unique items on the menu, and it's all homemade, a mom and pop place family run, and it's all pretty good. Anyway, a few months ago, I stumbled upon a Youtube channel called Sam the Cooking Guy. He's pretty awesome, just cooks shit in his back patio or inside his home and tells you how to make the stuff he makes. I noticed that the deli I go to has items on their menu alike items he posts. in his videos. Unique stuff, not "burger and fries" or "hot dogs."
So not too long ago the deli was offering general tsos chicken as one of their daily specials, among other things. Got it and it was pretty good, didn't think anything of it. About a week later, I checked in on Sam The Cooking Guy's channel and he recently put up a video on how to make general tsos chicken. Didn't think anything of it, just laughed it off as a coincidence.
So, yesterday Sam put out a video on how to make cheeseburger sliders(White Castle style). Then today I went into the deli, first time I've been in a while, and what was on their menu as a new item? Cheeseburger sliders. I asked if it was new and they said today is the first day they ever had it on the menu. Sam the Cooking Guy put peppers and onions on his. I asked the deli if anything was on the sliders or if it was just a beef patty and cheese. They said it had peppers and onions on it.
Not sure I have a large enough case to accuse this wonderful establishment of recipe theft, and I'm not gonna name their business because they're all super nice, and frankly I like the food, but found it pretty funny, and today to be too much of a coincidence.
Gonna be monitoring this going forward. Honestly, if they are stealing his shit, it's a good fucking idea. That guy Sam makes delicious looking shit, and it's hard to prove recipe theft unless they put a mole in the kitchen or something.
