Here is a quick little rant about restaurants:

Many of the chain restaurants have implemented ‘do it yourself’ appetisers and entrees.   You know exactly what I am talking about…. you go to the Keg, order  Fajitas and get some tortillas, salsa, chicken, cooked vegetables, guacamole and you put everything together to make one fantastic hand-held meal.

I am perfectly ok with that, it is a fun sensory experience that everyone can enjoy.  Over the past couple of weeks however I have been dinning out quite often and it is starting to get a little over done.

Last week I ordered bruschetta and it was presented with toasted bread, a bowl of diced tomatoes, and a spoon.  Yesterday, my colleague went to Starbucks and asked for a toasted bagel with cream cheese and was given a Toasted bagel and packages of cream cheese.

I am starting to get annoyed with how lazy some companies are getting just to push food out faster.   What’s next – a pot of boiling water, raw pasta and some tomatoes?   Come on…I ordered bruschetta not the ingredients for bruschetta!

As for Starbucks charging $6 (or what ever it is) for toasted bread and packages of the cream cheese…  for a fraction of that I could go to Tim Horton’s and get it done properly.

Bon Appetite indeed…
