Pet Peeves Part One

Pet peeves while eating out:

• cold butter with warm bread
• servers who use the royal "we" as in "What are we having tonight? Are we ready to order?"
• servers who scrunch down to eye level as though you were a small child
• kitchens that place more emphasis on appearance than taste--lotus root chips, gaufrettes, herbs as big as small trees, spun sugar, parmesan crisps, beetroot emulsions--all well and good, but not if the steak is overcooked and the potato is cold.
• music too loud
• tables so too close together
