How not to impress a food lover

Thanks to BuzzFeed, and just in time for Valentine’ Day, here are several no-no’s if you’re going on a first date with a food lover. Check out the post for the rationale behind each item:

• Don’t choose a super-fancy restaurant
• Don’t choose a concept restaurant
• Don’t make someone you ask out choose a restaurant
• Don’t be rude to anyone who works at the restaurant
• Don’t order a bottle of wine without asking your date (we’d add – in particular, don’t pretend to know more about wine than you do)
• Don’t order tuna tartare or any endangered species
• Don’t be obnoxious if your date takes a picture of the food (though frankly we’d say something if they use a flash, stand on a chair, or otherwise bother others)
• Don’t try to feed your date
• Don’t ignore your date’s order when making your own

And we’d like to add one more – don’t gaze over at your date’s plate and moan “I wish I’d ordered that.”
