TrophyHusband 0 #27 July 18, 2008 QuoteQuotethe problem i've found with fine dining is that they do a perfect job of preparing crappy food. salads are usually the worst. i realize that they are trying to be different and sophisticated, but often times the food just doesn't taste good. there are exceptions though, like a perfectly cooked fillet mignon with a good bernaise and a glass of cabernet. I think you need to open your mind a little more, Food is an art. Yes taste buds are the final critic, but the whole experience is about trying things and taking in the whole experience. Finer resteraunts usually use different things and actaully prepare the salad just before you eat. Just one mans opinion open my mind to what? if the food doesn't taste good, then it doesn't taste good. it has nothing to do with an open or closed mind. open mindedness is for going to exotic places and trying bizarre foods, not for going to an expensive restaurant and paying a lot of money for perfectly cooked crap.
