When it comes to weird food substitutions, chefs have encountered their fair share of bizarre requests. One chef was asked to make a bacon apple grilled cheese on sourdough, which originally featured apple butter for a touch of sweetness. However, a customer insisted on substituting the apple butter with mustard. The chef found themselves grappling with the task of creating a sandwich that would harmoniously blend the contrasting flavors. It was a challenge to envision the final result while incorporating the unexpected mustard twist into the mix.
Inspired by the incident, they decided to reach out to others and gather similar weird food substitutions and a multitude of restaurant workers joined the conversation, sharing their own stories.
