Counter point. Avocados themselves are bland oily mush. Raw or cooked.

Everyone should stop eating them immediately because I personally don’t like them.

I’ve had deep fried, battered, avocado before and found it AMAZING. Though the waitress said they use almost-ripe and firmer avocados for it. Otherwise, yes, *cooking* avocado is weird.

Exactly. The wait staff are your friends. Be friendly and honest with them and they will help you out. Return that favor by tipping well. And if anybody gives you shit about the correct fork you have my permission to throat punch them.

This is the way to go. A few years ago my girlfriend and I were able to score reservations to the French Laundry. We are by no means high rollers and I don’t think I’ve ever been to a place half a nice. We weren’t intimidated by all the nice stuff, and when something we were completely unfamiliar with presented…

- “Just act like you’re supposed to be there.”

Depends on the special. If the special is soup, skip it; they probably used whatever they had left. If the special is based on some local/seasonal ingredient, go for it; it’s probably special because they have a limited supply.
