Aioli.

I get the first, but aioli is has been around for centuries. What's the problem with that?

Aoili is fancy mayo. Just say the sandwich has x-mayo.

Um, no. Aoili is a distinct sauce. Like Rouille, Tartar, or Rémoulade.

I don't want Tartar sauce where I expect Aoili.

"Protein" as in "choose your protein," or "would you like to add a protein".

Plus, the previous submissions of sammie and sando.

A food critic I sometimes read often uses the word "toothy" to describe food, and I dislike that word. I'm not sure what he even means ... chewy?

Example: I’ll do the quince pie to start. Then I’ll do the grouse cheeks and ham, and for a pairing I’ll do the cab ‘97.


There was nothing wrong with “I’ll HAVE” or “I would like the grouse.” It worked for 200 years until millennials showed up

This is a general gripe, not a food gripe. People also “do” countries and other things.

I hate on Top Chef when one of the judges says “my favorite BITE of the evening was…” And now it’s trickled down to the masses. I saw a thread on Reddit that was “what’s your favorite bite in the city?”

Maybe what you hate is it's all the same?

Thanks for posting. I definitely do go out to eat less often because it feels like the same crap in so many places. We are really lucky in the DC area to have a lot of restaurants that are NOT on the sysco chain....when I travel for work, I notice it more. At least when I cook at home, I can control (a bit more) the ingredients and their source.

Without a doubt. That's why we've cut back. Restaurants are getting lazy as hell. Just heating up Sysco crap.

I always roll my eyes whenever I’m in a 2 bit American Italian restaurant and see the words ‘zuppa’ or ‘insalata’ on the menu. I’m not sure why those 2 words bother me.

Kosho. It’s literally Japanese for “pepper,” as in salt and pepper. No Japanese places run by actual Japanese people ever put that on their menus, all italicized and whatever
