Overwhelmed by restaurant menus?

Post Reply New Topic

Generally there are only one or two things on the menu that I'll eat ( if I'm lucky!), so it's rarely overwhelming.

No, I don't have this problem.... I usually order the same thing ever time if they have it. I actually prefer Thai,Mexican,Vietnamese,Indian,Middle Eastern, Greek, etc food more than "American" food and if they have anything from any other culture I will order that because it usually has more flavour. I'm not that much into American food, so if I go to a place with no good options then it does take a little longer. But I'm not that picky. I go with the flow.

Me too. I'm always nervous of new restaurants because I'm an extremely picky eater and on more than one occasion have looked through entire menus without finding a single thing that I would eat. I have a set seven restaurants that I'll go to readily (not including fast food), and have a specific food for each one (primarily hot wings or barbecue ribs) and I never change it. It takes the stress out of deciding, plus, I'm always afraid of being adventurous in case I decide I liked my old food better than whatever it was I tried this time; it seems like a wasted opportunity to get food I enjoy that's not readily available to me outside of the restaurant, especially given that I don't eat out frequently.
