regardless, she needs to be arrested for frivolous 911 call

The meat was pink — no one disputes that.

The argument between a customer and the co-owners of a famous barbecue restaurant in Raleigh, N.C., this month arose over whether that pink coloring meant that the pulled pork was undercooked.

The co-owners insisted they’d cooked the pork shoulder plenty, barbecuing it “low and slow” in a smoker for 12 hours at about 250 degrees. The woman disagreed and, when she couldn’t convince the co-owners to cook it some more or give her a refund, sought redress elsewhere.

By calling 911.

“I had ordered some food from there, and the barbecue was pink,” she told the dispatcher, according to audio of the 911 call obtained by The Washington Post.

The dispatcher sent an officer to the restaurant to handle the matter

In the weeks since Raleigh police worked the case of the pink meat, Clyde Cooper’s Barbeque has defended its pulled pork, even marketing itself as the home of the “infamous pink bbq” and creating “PinkBBQ” merchandise.

Others agree that customers shouldn’t be frightened by pink-colored barbecue — what aficionados call the “smoke ring” — even if it can at times alarm the uninitiated.

Dana Hanson, a North Carolina State University associate professor and an expert in meat science, said myoglobin, a protein that supplies oxygen to the muscles of nearly all mammals, is at the root of what happened at Clyde Cooper’s. In non-barbecue cooking, heat “denatures” myoglobin in fresh meat, turning it from red to pink and then brown to hockey puck.

“That’s the whole premise of when you order a steak at varying degrees of doneness, from rare to medium-rare to well-done,” Hanson said. “That’s the myoglobin pigment going through this normal denaturation during cooking.”

But barbecuing can mess with meat’s straightforward transformation along that color scale, Hanson added. Barbecuers often smoke their meats, usually doing so by burning wood that contains thousands of chemicals.

One of those, nitric oxide, binds to myoglobin in the presence of heat to lock in the red or pink color — no matter how long the meat cooks..............

Once upon a time, that “smoke ring” was a “badge of honor” for barbecuers and a signal to savvy customers, Hanson said.

“It’s the visual cue to know that that product is true barbecue and has been exposed to smoke,” he added. “There was a time that that was a measure of quality.”

Safe to say, the Clyde Cooper’s customer who tried to return her lunch of barbecued pork didn’t think so.

Ashley Jessup, co-owner and manager of the downtown Raleigh institution, said the woman ordered, paid for and received a plate of barbecued pork shoulder toward the tail end of the lunch rush on Nov. 1.

About 10 minutes later, she returned to the register, telling Jessup’s mother and fellow co-owner, Debbie Holt, that her meat was undercooked.

Holt looked at the plate.

“She snickered a little bit, and she said, ‘Honey, that’s because it’s smoked. It’s smoked pork, and it turns pink whenever it’s cooking,’ ” Jessup said.

Undeterred, the woman insisted the meat hadn’t been cooked enough, even as other customers interjected, backing up Holt. Jessup, who had been working on the restaurant’s catering orders, stepped in, allowing her mother to serve other customers.

Jessup said she googled images of “smoked barbecue” on her phone in a vain effort to convince the woman that the pink coloring was a byproduct of the smoking process.

Because of that, the meat would remain pink no matter how long they cooked it.

The woman went outside. Although they denied her a refund, as a consolation, Jessup and Holt dispatched a server to give the woman some chicken she’d requested. They thought the matter was settled...........

A tragic moment turned into the saying of the summer early this week after video surfaced of a woman calling a black man the n-word.

According to a Twitter post made by a man named Craigory, a woman was denied a stay at the hotel after she called him a Fork**** N***** during a dispute.

Unbeknownst to the woman, the hotel employee replied that a managerial figure knew about the incident and that the woman could no longer stay there --prompting Craigory to say "it's above me now." A nod to the fact that the situation was now out of his hands and at the discretion of his work superiors.

The woman never denied calling him the obscene term. Instead she apologized and went on to say that a family member recently died, which is why she was at the hotel. The hotel employee calmly referred the woman to the Best Western he said was next door. The woman continued to ask if she could stay and the man continues to say "it's above me."

People across social media quickly reacted to the situation saying that he handled the situation very well. One twitter user said, "More of him in the world please."........

This guy's patience and politeness levels are off the chart

Yeah he was impressive. I would've gone off on her from a very low bar, by insulting her appearance and lack of intelligence.

All Jordan Mykel Gipson tried to do was deliver a Postmates food order. But while trying to enter the code at the customer's apartment building, a woman started blocking him from entering.

She proceeded to make his day a whole lot more stressful than it needed to be.

The unnamed woman questioned Jordan's motives, going so far as to ask him "Is this a hold up or something?" because he was wearing a protective face mask.

Despite the fact Jordan punched in the door code and started speaking with his Postmates customer through the call box, the woman still refused to let him inside. She even claimed to "know everyone in this building."

"So you're not gonna let me in to deliver this food? I have the number," Jordan told her. "I have food I have to deliver to somebody, ma'am."

She continued: "Don't deliver anything here, we don't want your delivery, here. I don't want you here at all."............

It seems to me after watching these videos that all these Karens needed is to get laid. More sex would solve most of these issues.
