“Venue menu” parasites.

86 them.

Y’all could always eat at home. Why don’t you.

This is not a peer-reviewed menu list

Chef’s mystery meal got published!

Well, at least the menu has given them food for thought.

What they want is not on the menu.

Much of what I read of late suggests that all the editors are out to lunch.

Editors also don’t do well on social media, either. :) :)

Shrimp scampi is redundant in Italy.

Whining and dining out but it doesn’t appear it will make it through publishing.

Critics get on my last nerve….

And a smart owner would hire them for those comments.

If the menu is that bad, what can the food be…

As a proofreader, I sometimes enjoy poorly written foreign menus. I saw one that included “could soap” (for cold soup) and “sadwich.”

Redundant? Oh, you must be talking about the refried beans.

They turn the menu into the emend-u.

I would not feed those people!

now, let’s see them eat their words…

I’m a former proofreader (which means I’m still a proofreader). I go to town when I see typos anywhere.
