This entry contains a few I find particularly chilling: MENU: The printed list of a restaurant's offerings and prices. Frequent restaurant-goers learn to spot common indicators of inferior quality, upselling, and/or overpricing on menus. Some of these are merely cautionary, while others are the equivalent of bold red flags: For example, customers encountering items labeled “served with au jus” or “A classic—Enjoy!” should simply avoid them, whereas the phrase “cooked to perfection” is grounds for immediately exiting the restaurant. Leave your coat behind if you have to.
