I eat in a lot of restaurants. These are my top 8 pet peeves.
Not long ago, he posted a manual for servers that he compiled in 1997 with jewels such as: 'When describing the menu, never say 'I have.' Always 'we have.' Saying 'I have' is affected, and an insult to the cook who made the dish." Get Winter Soup Club A six-week series featuring soup recipes and cozy vibes, plus side dishes and toppings, to get us all through the winter. Enter Email Sign Up It made me pause. In my many years of food writing, I've realized this: Dining out is about far more than eating. It's also live theater. Restaurants are a hotbed of anthropological fodder, a chance to witness human behavior, quirks, oddities, and foibles — performance art that can slip into comedy or tragedy, depending on how the experience unfolds. So while I'm taking notes (OK, recording voice memos) about dishes and covertly snapping photos of menus like a CIA agent, I'm also jotting down musings about things I've witnessed: weird server sayings; strange soundtrack choices; menu mishaps. Advertisement Over the years, like McNally, I've compiled a list of restaurant pet peeves. My top eight are below. I'd love to know yours. And, restaurants, it's only fair: Customers aren't perfect. Tell me what bugs you. People who linger too long? Make substitutions based on Saying, 'Are you still working on that?' A favorite line as servers clear plates. This is not an appetizing question. It suggests that I'm about to open my parachute and deploy into my nachos with a hammer, pickaxe, and hard hat. 'May I take your plate?' would suffice. Appetizers that come three to a serving . This odd convention invites controversy. Most customers do not dine in groups of three; two or four is much more common. And so: The most enterprising of a group has to cut the appetizers in half (messy), leaving the dumpling/crabcake/foie gras hot dog to collapse onto the plate like a deflated balloon at a child's birthday party. Or else a twosome splits the dish, saying, 'No, you take the last one,' back and forth until one of them finally gets up and runs away. Restaurants without online menus . Such a letdown! Anticipation is an appetizer. One of the biggest pleasures of dining out is strategizing beforehand — the predinner scroll, best enjoyed while you're pretending to pay attention at a 3 p.m. meeting when you're actually deciding between thinly shaved steak or branzino drizzled with house aioli. Menus written by a combination of ChatGPT and a Harlequin romance novelist . By the time I've finished reading 'Swordfish pyramids atop house grain rice with hints of mint, cilantro, and zucchini ribbons with braided shallot on a rosemary cloud' I'm ready for a tumbler of gin, neatly poured over a shimmering glacier of ice. Marketing gimmicks masquerading as food holidays . National Ice Cream Day. National Bivalve Day. National Broccoli Day. National Take-Your-Mollusk-to-Work-Day. These promotions veiled as celebrations are gimmicky and make me wonder what's happening behind the scenes to make anyone peddle two-for-one clam strips. Just bring back happy hours. Tipping in real time . Used to be, you received your bill in a swanky leather folder, or at least on a tray or clipboard, so you could peruse your tab and do bad math in peace. Now, you're often presented with a payment processor tableside, server hovering, while swilling the last of your martini — the implication being that you must tip at least 20 percent or could be forced to do the dishes. Referring to a chef as 'Chef.' You wonder what a zucchini ribbon is, and your server replies, 'I'll ask Chef.' This convention is reserved for upper-echelon celebrities who require no introduction: Prince, Madonna, Beyoncé. A chef is a profession, not a moniker. When's the last time you asked a nurse about your blood pressure medication and they said, 'I'll consult Doctor.' If your child comes home with a poor grade, do you ask, 'Did you talk about this with Teacher?' Have you seen Accountant about your taxes yet? Perhaps it's time to visit Hair Stylist for a trim? I blame the Food Network. Insider-y menu abbreviations that make no sense . Maybe it's supposed to make you feel like part of an elite club when you know what Super OG Special Thicc Creamy House Bad Boy Sauce is. But I only find it confusing. Please, just list the ingredients. I really don't want to ask Chef what it all means. Kara Baskin can be reached at

Farmers' tariff patience wears thin
Presented by With help from Samuel Benson and Marcia Brown QUICK FIX — How long will farmers' 'wait and see' attitude toward President Donald Trump's tariffs last? — The rollout of Republicans' reconciliation megabill will hit small, independent grocers hard. — A co-director of one recently-axed Regional Food Business Center talks about what the program's end will mean for rural communities. IT'S MONDAY, JULY 21. Welcome to Morning Agriculture. I'm your host Grace Yarrow, hoping you all celebrated National Ice Cream Day appropriately.

You'll also receive daily policy news and other intelligence you need to act on the day's biggest stories. Driving the day HOW LONG WILL 'WAIT AND SEE' LAST? Farmers' patience with President Donald Trump could be waning as they scramble to understand and brace for a looming trade war ahead of harvest season for many major U.S. commodities. Trump has sent out dozens of letters to trading partners — and key ag importers like the European Union, Japan and South Korea — warning them of the tariff rate they will face in coming weeks. Time is running out for the administration to prove that those threats will pay off before hurting already-struggling farmers. Senate Ag Chair John Boozman (R-Ark.) said that farmers have had a 'wait and see' attitude towards the tariffs, trusting the Trump administration's work to get new trade deals done to open new markets. But, he added, farmers are 'anxious' in light of the president's slew of new tariff threats. Trump's farm state allies on Capitol Hill have stood by his ultimate goal of securing new markets for farmers, but it's not clear how long their patience will last. Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) told MA that farmers need to 'grab a hoe and hold on.' 'Our farmers are in trouble,' he told MA last week. 'They're in bad trouble. I don't know whether there's anything we can do to save them, unless these tariffs work, and I hope we can. We're going to do everything we possibly can.' Related reading: 'Trump's determination to barrel ahead with tariffs is forcing a growing number of Republican lawmakers to make an uncomfortable choice: defend the president's agenda or influential industries back home.' More on that from our Ari Hawkins and Daniel Desrochers here. Is time really running out? One ag advocate, granted anonymity to discuss concerns about the administration's tariff approach, said that Trump has about a month and a half to prove his trade plans are working before farmers start harvesting and selling their products. 'We're getting closer to harvest time,' the person said. 'We're getting to the point where those sales numbers are really going to matter, the prices are really going to matter. And we're coming into the fall with some limited trade deals.' Producers of top U.S. ag exports like corn and soybeans are gearing up to harvest and sell their products starting around August and September — and will be hit hard by any reciprocal tariffs or uncertainty caused by the state of Trump's trade negotiations. Another complication: The person added that agriculture lobbyists are struggling to ask the administration for carve-outs or support, as Trump himself is seemingly making calls on tariff plans without involving his Cabinet. 'Ultimately it's a good thing that other countries don't know what he's going to do. It's all subject to negotiations,' the person said. 'But the real challenge is that the only person whose word really matters here is Trump. … It doesn't matter what [Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins] says.' In the States LATEST IN MEGABILL FALLOUT: The deep cuts Republicans made to federal nutrition programs this summer are poised to devastate independent grocery stores that are central to many low-income communities, including those that voted for President Donald Trump. Food aid recipients often make up the majority of small grocers' customer base in remote areas and food deserts — places that have limited options for fresh, healthy food. But a central part of paying for the GOP policy megabill Trump signed on July 4 relied on slashing the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, the nation's largest anti-hunger initiative. Even though some provisions in the new law won't go into effect for another three years, others, like expanded work requirements for SNAP participants, could kick some families out of the program and hit the bottom lines of small grocery stores within months. It's a chain reaction set off in Washington that's likely to reshape how people access food in more isolated communities even if they don't use federal assistance. 'I lean pretty heavily right most of the time, but one of the things that I do lean to the left on is we're a pretty wealthy country, we can help people out,' said St. Johns, Arizona, Mayor Spence Udall, whose town overwhelmingly supported Trump in 2024. Don't miss the full story from MA's own Rachel Shin here. AROUND THE AGENCIES GOODBYE RURAL FOOD CENTERS: USDA's move last week to abruptly cancel remaining funding for a dozen centers serving farms and other rural companies will have a 'devastating' effect on food and farm businesses, according to the co-director of one of the targeted centers. Katie Nixon said Heartland Regional Food Business Center will trim its work significantly over the next 60 days and then close its doors entirely in August 2026. You all had this meeting [last Wednesday] where you learned about this decision to end the program. What was that like and what reasoning were you given? The reasoning given on the call was that the way it was organized was not in line with congressional approval or something like that. And then the press release came out, and it was like the just most ridiculous argument, saying that this was temporary funding anyways, so we're going to cancel it, because it's unfair to farmers to put temporary funding on the ground and then take it away, which makes no sense. Is there anything else you want people to know about the work that the centers did and why it mattered? We are in a country right now where those small businesses are not succeeding and they're not thriving, especially in food and farming. Our farming businesses are dropping left and right, and the consolidation of agriculture has become to the point where I don't even recognize what a farm is anymore to some degree. What the Regional Food Business Centers do is ground the work in the community and allow the professionals who help those businesses and who care about those businesses help them thrive.
