Restaurant Alma should not be missed.

There are certain dishes or ingredients that cause me to cringe whenever I see them on a restaurant menu. Foods that are so over-used and rarely done well. Things like creme brulee, balsamic vinegar, Caesar salad, and molten chocolate cake. Not to say that these dishes/ingredients should never be served, but if you're going to, time should be taken to do it well. What other culinary cliches make you cringe? Edit: How could I forget garlic mashed potatoes?
