Not Enough Cooking Time in the Kitchen

Whoever came up with the idea to serve grilled pork chops with apple sauce was a genius. The version offered by The Kitchen, a shoebox of a restaurant on Sunset Boulevard in Los Feliz, would have been brilliant if the meat wasn't undercooked around the bone. That was truly disappointing. I told the staff member who cleared the table about the problem and he looked at me as if I were from another planet. I wasn't asking for a refund or a new plate, and I didn't want to press the issue as I was there celebrating a friend's birthday. But the waiter could have acknowledged my complaint and used it as a cue to revise the grilling time for the pork chops. Or else other customers who don't take pictures of their food and pay attention to the aesthetics of their appetite will become sick. At least the mac 'n' cheese and round potato latkes stuffed with goat cheese were perfectly golden.
