I have heard that Waffle House line cooks use a highly precise method of placing various condiments and items on plates to communicate silently with other cooks about EXACTLY what goes onto that particular plate. Is this true and if so, can you explain it to us?

Not to mention other young or newly-disabled redditors who are reading this and wondering what their sexual lives will be like. I thought the question was one that was not only appropriate, but answered in a compassionate and inclusive manner by someone who clearly loves OP very much.

Just goes to show that people need resect and understanding, not the empty pity of prayers. Thanks for saying this, been on my mind lately.

For fabulous traditional basque food, you must go to Gandarias. Their aged steaks are the best I've had in the entire world. (EDIT: found a photo - http://imgur.com/18KSOOS) Plus they have the best by the glass wine program I've come across. The pintxos bar there is also absolutely a necessary part of any journey through the Parte Vieja.

Borda Berri makes some great stuff as well, a little more modern style pintxos, definitely try the pork rib.

But really San Sebastián is all about wandering from bar to bar, snagging a small bite and small glass at each one.

Pro tip: people toss their napkins on the ground when they really enjoy the food, as a sign of respect and enjoyment. So the dirtier the floor of the bar, the more likely it's delicious. If a bar is empty and clean it's probably just so-so.

Also, Arzak (3 stars) is there and a life-changing experience. The tasting menu is definitely worth it.

Enjoy Donosti!!

EDIT: just saw you're there cooking. The fish market that lives under the FNAC (near Buen Pastor) is phenomenal, and huge and hosts a great farmers market as well.

A nice translation for aca that captures most uses is "over here".
