In which a dictionary must be part of any waitress's utility apron.

Setting: Chili's @ the Pittsburgh Mills. I order the Guiltless Chicken Platter.
Apparently the waitress felt as little guilt bringing it to me as I'd feel devouring and digesting it, because one edge of it was completely and utterly charred. Burnt. RGB 0 0 0 kind of black.
So I point that out "Scuse me dear, this chicken here is kinda burnt"
To which she replies "Burnt?"
To which I reply by pointing along the line of carnal devastation. "See that? this is coal."
Plate and waitress go away. 2 minutes later, manager comes by, apologizing in the lines of "this thing should've never left the kitchen". Came back later with a more edible offering, quite double in size this time. (Well, duh, when stuff gets burnt it shrinks!)
Ended up getting charged for everything but one fountain drink. Then went off to watch Batman, which was pretty good.
The End.

No, you meant "So the chicken wouldn't be the only thing battered?"
Sal, how was the spitter?

You sure about that? Maybe the chicken was 'Guiltless Blackened All The Way Through Chicken', in which case this is what El Gordo does: |

LOL. I've been thinking about carrying around a color chart in my wallet for when waiters ask me how I'd like my steak. (restaurants around here are pretty inconsistent with their definitions of rare/med. rare)  |

Perhaps the waitress was confused because she's only familiar with Pantone® color codes.
