Tableside guacamole
“They charge you 20 bucks for the show. Whatever happened to happened to regular guac, which was the same thing, only made in the kitchen and cost less than 10 dollars?”
--Ken, systems analyst
Tofu
“Tofu just doesn’t make sense. The texture is vile, and there is no flavor. Weirdest of all is that it’s odorless — that’s a big thing with food, it needs to have a smell."
--Titus, student
Vegan
No meat, no fish, no milk, no cheese, no eggs. “Where’s dinner?”
--Ed, film producer
Fancy rolls such as brioche or sourdough with hamburgers
“Too much bread and you lose the meat.”
--Paul, teacher
Sliders
Men may prefer classic, thin burger buns, but don’t make that bun too small.
“If a chef can’t come up with a better idea than sliders, it's time to get a new job. Leave the nickname for those greasy little White Castle burgers that can be tasty late at night when you are in the mood.”
--Jack, restaurant owner
Raw food
“It's food for squirrels, not for humans.”
--Pablo, investment banker
Sushi with brown rice
Sushi is already a little dainty and/or gross for some men, and now some restaurants are taking it up a notch.
“People have dietary restrictions and personal preferences, but brown rice can be such a status statement: ‘I’m not going to eat those two little teaspoons of white rice with my sushi because brown rice is so much healthier (and so am I).’ Really? Just eat the two teaspoons of white rice and live a little.”
--Gary, writer
Endless menu descriptions
“I really don’t need to know that the pork I’m considering ordering once ate organic grass on a free range portion of Ma and Pa Kettle’s farm. The quality of the dish should speak for itself.”
--Connor, hospitality industry ex-pat
Cupcakes
As cute and yummy as they are to the ladies, cupcakes are not so popular among the XY chromosome set.
“The ratio of frosting to cake is all off. And you look like a little girl eating them.”
--Richard, lawyer
Macarons (French macaroons)
“If eating cupcakes didn’t make me look ridiculous enough, how am I supposed to walk around eating a macaron? I know — let’s go shopping and while you are in the changing room, I’ll hold your purse. At least that’s more masculine then a macaron.”
--Joe, salon owner
