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

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.

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

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.

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?”

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.

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?

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

Plus, the previous submissions of sammie and sando.

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.
