Let's Dish: What Foods Are You Sick Of?

March 2, 2009

On last Wednesday's season finale of Top Chef, guest judge Rocco DiSpirito declared that he was sick of eating foie gras.

Although, I have to side with fellow judge Branford Marsalis, who claimed he "could eat foie gras all day," I can completely relate to Rocco when it comes to being tired of certain foods.

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

What dishes are you completely over?

oversalted everything. not that i am some kind of health nut but the salt level on "gourmet cuisine" goes sky higher every year. recently i was served a dish that was a couple of pieces of clam on top of 3 cups of salt literally.

Veggie burgers straight from the freezer as the vegetarian option of a menu.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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 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

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.

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.

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.
