I’ve got to memorize this huge Mexican restaurant menu,
but my memory is flawed. Anyone have any suggestions
where to start; maybe your a waiter also?
do it over time. eat 1 item from the menu each day. keep repeating the item in your head while you chew. (warning: this method may cause weight gain)
I am going to a restaurant for work tomorrow, and one thing on the menu is dorado. I think it is a fish of some sort, but I’m not sure. Anyone know?
Here is what it says:
“Blackened” dorado, ragout of fennel and leeks, sauce beurre blanc,
smashed fingerling potato and crab gratin
Dorado is the Spanish name for the dolphin fish, also known as the mahi-mahi in Hawaii.
I have been doing a research on the origin of the restaurant menu, does anybody know?
You would have to find out when the first place opened that served food for money. Probably impossible. Even in the days of King Aurthur there were most likely slates with a list of options even if 3/4 of the clientele couldn’t read.
I was looking at the menu for the restaurant "Le Bernardin" and a few menu items were followed by the term "supplement" and a price. What does this mean?
Good question!!!
"Supplement" these days means that the term "a la Carte" has been eliminated, as a LOT of people do not comprehend that French term, of "Only, or One dish, alone"
Supplement these days means that: (and I’m using this as ONLY an example)
You go to Ruth’s Chris’ Steakhouse:
A Rib Eye is 39 bucks………….PERIOD. That means you get a steak, and THAT IS IT…..
Supplements mean that you have to order "a la Carte", or separately from the menu……..
So: Steak, Prix Fixe (that means a fixed price, but STEAK only)
Supplements: baked potato, salad, etc………BTW, at baked tater at Ruth’s is 7 bucks………I can buy 20 pounds of taters for 3 bucks, and go to our butcher, Tip Top Market, which has Harris Ranch Organic Beef and get 2 Rib Eyes for 35 bucks…..and fix them myself……to my liking……Enjoy!!
