We're all familiar with the term 'doggy bag' but this story is something else...
According to a now-viral tweet a chef in a New York restaurant a very specific request for a burger was placed by a dog owner who only wanted the burger for their pooch.
Anna Silman, a culture writer for The Cut tweeted a photo of the printed order that her friend received in the fancy NYC restaurant and to say that this dog was picky would be an overstatement.
If you can't quite read it, it says:
Beef burger
Med rare
Side salad
This is for a dog
No salt, no oil, no seasoning, no pepper
Absolutely plain, no toppings, no garnishes
No bacon, no pickles, no onion, no bread, no lettuce
No side salad
Just the plain pattie - this is for a dog
This is probably a little excessive but at least the chef knew that all the dog wanted was just the meat and literally nothing else.
The tweet has since been shared more than 8,000 times on Twitter and liked more than 57,000 times and people don't quite know what to think.

@annaesilman Would seem to be the easiest order of his day. Fry up a single pattie, next.— Pointy End ☘️ (Double-Vaxed & Wear a mask please) (@Pointy End ☘️ (Double-Vaxed & Wear a mask please)) 1559001300
@annaesilman @lizzieohreally does the dog talk to it's owner to make sure the patty isn't salted?— SupersetGreg (@SupersetGreg) 1558999543
@annaesilman i love that they wrote "this is for a dog" not once, but TWICE— Jenna Amatulli (@Jenna Amatulli) 1559001288
@annaesilman @bugcounter Given that any dog would cheerfully eat half a rotting deer carcass then roll around in it, this seems a bit fussy.— Brendan Niemira (@Brendan Niemira) 1559002784
Others shared what food their dogs like or would usually order at a fast food joint and they didn't seem to be as picky as that particular pooch.
