Thanks to BuzzFeed, and just in time for Valentine’ Day, here are several no-no’s if you’re going on a first date with a food lover. Check out the post for the rationale behind each item:
- Don’t choose a super-fancy restaurant
- Don’t choose a concept restaurant
- Don’t make someone you ask out choose a restaurant
- Don’t be rude to anyone who works at the restaurant
- Don’t order a bottle of wine without asking your date (we’d add – in particular, don’t pretend to know more about wine than you do)
- Don’t order tuna tartare or any endangered species
- Don’t be obnoxious if your date takes a picture of the food (though frankly we’d say something if they use a flash, stand on a chair, or otherwise bother others)
- Don’t try to feed your date
- Don’t ignore your date’s order when making your own
And we’d like to add one more – don’t gaze over at your date’s plate and moan “I wish I’d ordered that.”
On the more yummy side – if you’d like some great recipes for Valentine’s Day, check out our Valentine’s Day Pinterest page – you’ll be truly inspired.
