excerpt:
“The grosser a dish sounds the better. That’s the philosophy some chefs are adopting when coming up with names for dishes on their menu. From Kitchen Sink Chopped Salad to Debris Sandwich, chefs are giving food a bad name. Luckily, they’ve been able to convince customers the dishes taste better than they sound, and for many, the marketing gimmick has paid off.San Pedro chef/co-owner Michael Goodman created the Fat Boy Man Salad at home a few years ago, when he wanted to eat more nutritiously. His vegetarian creation consisted of baby field greens, carrots, grape tomatoes, beets and green beans. It tasted terrific, but Goodman found it wasn’t enough to satisfy his hunger. Soon, he began super-sizing it.
“It was obnoxiously large,” says Goodman. “People started calling it the Fat Boy Man Salad.”

I very much enjoyed reading through your blog. It’s informative and the design is user-friendly. I’m new to the blogging process and have some questions you may be able to answer for me. Do you have an email address that I could use in correspondence with you or the person responsible for posting the blogs or managing the site?

FYI- Cool Thing For THanksgiving!
If you are trying to come up with an idea to make a huge impression on your guests this Thanksgiving, try giving out a synthetic wishbones. I did it last year and we booked out our reservations 2 weeks ago for this Thanksgiving. ANd everyone who called asked if we were doing that again this year. It’s the little things that make a big impact.
Here’s a link if you want to find out more about it. Your guests will loev you for it.

Point taken. There are other benefits of having interesting names. Even after ordering one may read through the menu once again. A name like Fat Boy Man Salad would stick to the mind, so one wouldn’t just say that The Dump was a good restaurant but also recommend the particular salad.
I supply kitchen equipment and restaurant owners often fish for ideas. This is another one I have noted. Thanks.
