Mexican food that isn't really mexican.

Stuff with mango on it, "spicy" food that isn't actually spicy

I'm sick of spinach, goat cheese salads, with bacon vinaigrette. I'm sure there are other things I'm over, but they aren't coming to mind right now.

Sorry Hosea--foie gras on pain perdu...boring
and this sounds weird, but this past weekend and I crab salad and it came as a mousse-- im so sick of things being moussed and pureed...that was at Tru...that also happened to me at Le Bernadin...i like mousse but seriously why is it on every single menu?

Overly sweet "trademark" cocktails. A little creativity on the drink menu would be fabulous.

oops...its supposed to say I ordered the crab salad

Seafood dishes everywhere. I live in the Midwest and much as I'd really love to have mussels and clams and lobster and shrimp dishes all the time, the reality is that the clams you can buy at the supermarket (forget about there being "fishmongers" around here) aren't usually that great. Plus, I'm just not a huge seafood fan in general.

I am beyond sick of Phở because of my dad.

I have always thought the food "foam" that is a big to-do in gastronomy looks exactly like pet vomit. How do people miss that?!?!?

I am sick of chocolate. I don't like chocolate and thank God February is over.

I'm w/ Monday...tired of syrupy, restaurant "signature" cocktails! And i'm not sure if it counts, but i'm tired of the Olive Garden commercials that advertise its "new" pasta dishes...its always pasta and a sauce available with either chicken, shrimp, or sausage.

i am completely over gnocchi....ugh

Broccoli. ever since I had this veggie pizza they put broccoli in it, it was hard and undercooked. I cant eat it anymore im so grossed out.

Pepper. A little pepper is fine - but to drown something in it is insane.

I can't think of anything right now, I'm sure any type of rice dish or veggie casserole.

"Personally, I'm weary of seeing nothing but crème brûlée, sorbet trios, and flourless chocolate cakes on dessert menus."

Here here! Thank goodness someone else agrees. Those options are such cop-outs now. I like ordering a nice tart or a cheese platter these days. Creme brulees, sorbets, and flourless chocolate cakes are undeniably good, but what about something NEW and DIFFERENT?

Also on my list: foam anything--I can't get over the fact that it looks like ocean scum or spit.

I'm sick of seeing 'healthy' foods on menus that aren't really healthy. Like 800 calorie salads and foods with hidden calories.

i'm sick of cupcakes. and bacon with everything. yawn.

Personally, I don't care for appetizers, cocktails, and dessert courses. I know that sounds ridiculous, but it's true. I'm not a foodie, and I find those courses unnecessary. I just want a nutritious (nourishing) main course, and I'm content.

Sick of bacon? I'll take your servings Ellen!

he said he was sick of "fras gras"

I'm with you Ellen! I'm over cupcakes and bacon, they're both good, but c'mon, they're freaking everywhere!

Bacon????? Nooooooo!!!!!! I hold true to the saying that bacon makes everything better.

Personally, I'm sick of overcomplicated names for dishes. List the main ingredient and any important flavors, list the sides, say how it is prepared. That's all I need to know.

I consider myself a foodie and I just started culinary school. On top of that, I've worked in the restaurant industry for 12 years. If I can't understand the name of the dish... who can????

"i am completely over gnocchi....ugh "

I am SO with you trumanu.

Neeeeeext!

foam!
I agree, eww.

Chicken. Its in every dish, and even alone its just.. ugh.

bacon does not make everything better
i love bacon alone but i hate diced bacon bits on salad and potatos or my cheese fries. blah,

I am so very willing to accept any bacon that is rejected. I won't judge. Just toss it my way!

The cafe at my work, ahhh!

i feel like every restaurant has the same salads.
spinach, goat cheese and pine nut salad. cobb salad. niocoise salad. chinese chicken salad.

and even tho i love goat cheese, im sick of seeing it on everything. especially... salads!

I am over cupcakes that are bigger than muffins...when did cupcakes get so darn big?! Chinese food that is actually Malaysian (maybe that is just here though...). And as much as I love it...salt and pepper squid. Too much undercooked and flavorless stuff and so many bad versions on so many menus.

I am sick of Chipotle, Quinoa, Roasted Red Peppers, Lettuce Wraps, Gnocchi, Ahi Tuna on a sandwich, "low carb" BS, Micro greens.

Molten Chocolate Lava cakes on dessert menus... it was cute for a minute and now I swear it's on every menu out there. Blech.

Also, all the pro-biotic products that have come out over the past couple of years. A majority of people don't even truly understand what pro-biotics are. My husband and I discovered them a few years ago at a health food store, and bought them in pill form that you have to take twice a day for them to even be effective. Pro-biotics in yogurt and cheese and all that is just a gimmick and there isn't enough in the foods to give you any benefits.

Another one, and I swear this is the last... all the "Greek" items that have been added to menus. For some reason restaurants seem to think if you throw feta cheese and olives on something it's automatically Greek. Yeas, those may be staples in Greek food but most places that have Greek dishes are hardly authentic.

I'm with the bacon crowd..bacon does NOT make everything better!
and the chocolate..why can't you get a decent dessert anywhere that has ZERO chocolate in it?? If its not milk or dark chocolate its white...ugh!
And rissoto...it seems like restaurants add that to the menu to look like they're more high class

I agree with the probiotics and LIVE food. Also because I'm vegan, I'm sick of the prepacked nature of restaurants. For example, the cook can't take the meat out of the vegetables because it comes prepared. I'm also sick of cheese being a garnish on everything.

i'm not sick of anything! woo

Sick of melted cheese on everything.

I get sick of foods that you can have anywhere, anytime--like boring, typical pasta dishes and chicken dishes. I like trying new foods and being adventurous when I go out to dinner.

Mushroom risotto as a veggie option- im sure vegetarians are sick of it

I hate scallops serve with bacon
or chicken wrapped in bacon... any thin with bacon

Also I hate seeing chocolate soufle and creme brule!!!

THANK YOU, StarAngel!!!! That drives me insane. I feel like I have to do online research before I can go out to eat these days.

I'm sick of pasta of all kinds.

I remembered. I am SO over being grossed out by everything on This is why you are fat. Enough already!

Salads with bleu cheese, apples, and walnuts. It seems like every restaurant has one, and there are so many more interesting salads to make!

Mondaymoos has a good point. The cocktails that all seem to taste like overly sugared, strong liquor are really nasty. Also, I'm sick of chicken.

And foam anything. It looks like you spit on the food!

Oh, and one more thing (I swear) - it's not a food, but I am so over the word "foodie" that I want to scream every single time that I hear it.

French Fries

I'm really sick of salads that have fruits/raisins in them like those little mandarin oranges in salads.

OH and baby shrimp??? can we just get rid of that all together? i once ordered a salad with SHRIMP and it came with a mound of little tasteless things I was appalled. GTFO of my salad plz.

Crème brûlée, goat cheese in salads and bacon. I don't eat bacon at all, but some people around me ALWAYS it.
