Agree on Penne alla Vodka -- last refuge of the pretentious "Continental" restaurant.
Agree on Kobe boogers -- kind of misses the point of burgers, neh?
Agree on Baked Brie
Agree on Caesar Salad with foreign objects and bad Caesar Salad
Disagree on Caesar done right -- (have great recipe and procedure if you want it)
Disagree on crudite -- it's only celery on ice, what did it ever do to you. Besides, in late middle age, I still like sticking the olives on my fingers.
Let me add:
'tinis -- look if you want a girlie drink, get one with lots of fruit and umbrellas and stuff. And more power to you. Somethings are sacred, the martini among them.
huge plates with lots of "negative space."
ABTs (but God help me, I love them)
Buffalo wings prepared in any other way than the right way (no breading - tossed in hot sauce), and Buffalo wings dipped directly in blue cheese dressing.
Wraps
Seared ahi with anything else -- especially salad
Portobello Mushrooms -- they're just regular ol' criminis gone wild, ferevvinz sake
Polenta -- when grits are indicated
Chicken breast instead of veal -- at least give me the thigh or learn to cook the breast without drying it out, dammit!
Weird rolls in sushi restaurants -- if you don't like Japanese food, don't go to Japanese restaurants.  |
