as a follow up to this thread - http://ausbb.com/nutrition-diet/8909-what-would-you-do.html (which is for what you would do when you're in a food court) - what would you order in a restaurant/pub?
Today I went to an unavoidable work lunch in the local pub today. The healthiest options appeared to be
- rare beef salad (but I'm iffy about rare beef)
- grilled chicken burger (though it came with chips, hardly any veges)
- steak also came with chips, few veges.
- chicken caesar salad
So yeah, what would you order (or would you just treat it as a free meal and eat with gusto)?
Sometimes I've run out of my allocated free meals for the week so I have to order something relatively high in protein and with lots of veges. Today I chose chicken caesar salad - is this a good meal choice?
What do you tend to do when you eat out?
Order what you want. The chef will swear a lot, and then make it for you anyway. Just don't expect it to come as quickly as it would if you ordered something straight off the menu.I've often wondered if I should ask them to halve it. I guess I don't want to offend the chef!! It's not like I have a genuine need like a gluten free diet or vegetarianism.
I love buffets - you can always get a good salad, decent meat and some good grains.

If everyone always ordered straight off the menu then the place wouldn't need a chef, any idiot off the street could be taught to cook one menu's worth of food. A chef is needed for those special orders, or for when something runs out and a new dish must be come up with on the spot, etc.
Always order exactly what you want. If they won't give it to you, say, "I'll just have the water", trust me, that annoys the manager no end. Then the manager will speak to the chef, and the next person who sends in a fussy order will get exactly what they wanted.
