Why do I dislike the latest restaurant fad of serving
food in piled-on layers? My dinner the other night
arrived with a serving of mashed potatoes, topped with a
sizeable portion (1/2 inch thick) of wahoo, topped with
"crispy frizzled onions", sitting in a puddle of tomato-
fennel sauce. I love to eat out but am I unreasonable
about this? I promptly disassemble everything when it's
served this way.
Am I too picky? Or do I have company? (I just re-read this
- boy, I sound testy.)
I may be in the minority, but I find the mile high
presentation appetite-inhibiting. I am a fairly abstemious
eater (can't eat a lot at one sitting, as some RFCers who
have shared a meal with me can attest) and find a slab of
meat, for instance, piled on a glob of garlic mashed
potatoes, which has atop the meat some greenery of some sort
(or other veggie) just puts me off my food. The DH and I
regularly split entrees because of the huge size of the
portions, but a meal served as above I find distasteful (pun
intended).
