The problem is people are picky, and in groups the effective pickiness increases.
So the bigger menus were likely to address dad, mom, teen, and kiddo.
If a restaurant is just going to make four or five dishes, it starts getting perilously close to places like Chipotle.
- overcast 6y agoThose picky people end up ordering the same exact thing off of every menu. Keep that as one of your ten options. Satisfy the boring people, and provide better service to people with some culture.
- wisty 6y agoThe book Freakanomics mentions that Westerners in groups tend to avoid picking the same thing to avoid looking too conformist (and the last people to pick are unhappy with their choice because they were railroaded into getting something odd like the Filet of Fish just to show they're their own person) while Asians tend to try to follow the herd even if it is not what they'd rather have.

- knolax 6y ago> and provide better service to people with some culture If it's uncultured to know what you want to eat then call me a savage.
- overcast 6y agoToo much amazing food in this world to limit yourself.
- at_a_remove 6y agoA lot of food isn't that amazing, and some things some people just do not care for. You can dance around the preparation all you like, but I cannot stand the smell of eggs. Scrambled, over easy, whatever -- just the smell of them is terribly off-putting to me. There's too much awful food in the world to force yourself to try all of it.
- ponker 6y agoThere’s a great Jazz club+Ethiopian restaurant in SF called Sheba that has “penne pasta” on their menu for people who want the Jazz but are too numpty to eat Ethiopian.
- chrisseaton 6y ago> If a restaurant is just going to make four or five dishes, it starts getting perilously close to places like Chipotle. Not sure what you're on about here? You're comparing bistros and restaurants with highly focused, individual dishes that they're perfected... with slop from a junk-food place like Chipotle?
- phonon 6y agoMaybe you're confusing Chipotle with Taco Bell? have you been to Chipotle?
- chrisseaton 6y agoYes they both seem like pretty rough fast-food places?
- phonon 6y agoNo they're not. Have you eaten at Chipotle? No frozen ingredients. Everything is either made fresh there, or sous vide. No deep frying either (except for the taco chips.)
- chrisseaton 6y agoNo sure a soggy burrito the size of a baby is ever great fast food.
- phonon 6y agoOrder the salad! You clearly have never gone there.
- mlboss 6y agoIs Chipotle classified as junk food place ? I find it better than most of the lunch places. Also I can kind of order a keto bowl without rice and beans.
