HI, new to the forum and was just wondering about what people thought about truth in menus? Regardless of whether there is a truth in menu state law or not, how much does it matter to you?
For instance, getting hedgehog mushrooms instead of chanterelles comes to mind. I see this all the time in restaurants and grocery stores, which isn't really lovely since chanterelles are more expensive and taste very different.
One kitchen I worked in sold a Kobe Hamburger for $35. The hamburger had no authentic Kobe beef, (not even the American Kobe,) it was made with 50% sirloin and 50% tenderloin.
I find this somewhat lacking in integrity but if money rolls in I guess owners don't care. Any thoughts???
