The 10 Worst Dining Trends of the Last Decade

Check out this Chicago Tribute article about the top 10 worst dining trends of the last decade. Included on the list? Fried onion blossoms, molecular gastronomy, and celebrity chefs.

Add your own pet food peeves to the list!

My additions? Expensive faux-Chinese food and coffee snobbery.

  1. Hmmm. I would say outrageously small amounts of food for a LARGE sum of money. Other, than that they pretty much hit everything.

  3. haha those were pretty funny. And I agreee with the coffee snobbery (although I do love my Starbuck's Caramel Mocha Frappucino ^_^ ). I thought number 9 was funny because it mentioned Rocco Di- Spirito, who was mentioned in Garlic and Sapphires. Ruth did a review of his restaurant.

  5. I totally agree with the foam and the community table. Personally, when I want to eat a meal I would like it to be quiet and well less "communal" if you know what I mean. And foam? I guess it would be fun to play with, but eat... well I don't know about that one.
