« 6 p.m.: What's for dinner? | Main | Who doesn't love cupcakes? » Wednesday, September 26, 2007Menu EnglishWhy are words so often misspelled on menus? From your chipolte to your proscuitto, there are numerous offenders. In the last few weeks I've noticed artesian goat cheese, edamamae, and frisse at Boston Public, Schezwan shrimp at Myers+Chang, arugola at Sagra, and yellowfin tartar at Top of the Hub. OK, chefs are supposed to be able to cook, not spell, and if my food tastes good, I'm happy. But when someone takes such care in creating a menu, why not go the extra mile and check the spelling? A menu's like a restaurant's cover letter, and you wouldn't hire someone to do a job they couldn't spell, right? OK, I'm done now. Posted by Devra First at 05:58 PM
