one time I asked that and they said 'it is gross because it has 5 miles to much salt'

It's all about the money. The best ones though, say something a bit dirrerent... Something like: The entire time I worked here, they only had 1 or 2 dishes that I didn't like...they are no longer on the menu...but may I recommend (expensive entree here) and then try to upsell you on wines...an additional appetizer for the table to share... Those are the best ones able to get away with the BS and make big $$ because they actually act like they care. Plus enthusiasm about the food always works to "help the customer convince themselves" about what to order...suggestive selling.

Not true, I asked a waitress at Cheesecake Factory just yesterday about the soup of the day and she said it's black bean with the ugliest scowl on her face justa shaking her head no, no, no........and thats not the first time a wait staffer has recommended that I NOT get something on the menu.

Nope. I am a witress and I tell the truth. Don't get the tortellini. Don't get the Broccoli cheese soup. Yes, that keg was tapped yesterday. No, I do not like the meterbraten. Then I suggest things that I know to be higher quality and more enjoyable. I want them to be happy. It's my job.

lol. good point. If I can't decide I sometimes ask if they have a favorite dish or two they could recommend. This is especially true if I'm in a "Mom and Pop" restaurant and don't know the specialty. =-)

Actually one waiter at a Outback Steak House told me NOT to order the prime rib because the cook always over cooks it!
So I got pasta instead. :)

I guess we are hoping to catch them off guard and shake it up a little bit and may be get a little laugh out of it.

I never ask that. I know what I am getting if I am there, and besides, I dont depend on anyone elses opinions to help shape my own.
