No ketchup for you if you are over 10.
Over 10? No Ketchup for You, Restaurant Says - Business | Sarasota, Florida Patch
Well, that is one restaurant I would not go to in Ft. Myers. |

I would go just to find out what makes the fries so good that ketchup isn't needed. I would never discount trying a place out just because I couldn't have a condiment and they had a good reason...I find that being too narrow minded excludes me from some great experiences...

I would go just to see what the routine is when ketchup is requested!!!
I am sure it is a gimmicky/cute talking point. Out of my cold dead hands will they get my ketchup!!! |

2 semi-related thoughts. When we stayed at Disney's Fort Wilderness and ate breakfast at their restaurant, whenever someone asked for ketchup the whole dining room would shout "KETCHUP"! any table that had a bottle would walk over and give it to the person that asked for it. When we were in New Orleans last year they were selling t-shirts that said: "I put ketchup on my ketchup"

Their is a long time steak house in Orlando were the original owner (and his son after him) absolutely and totally refused to cook a steak more well done than med rare. I have seen ol Rudy & Al Seng berate and invite a "customer" to leave if they did not like it! The got away with it because the steaks were as good as anything you have ever had in your mouth. The steak house still remains but both are long gone .... and the place is marginal now.
Asking for BBQ sauce at Charlie Vergo's Rendezvous BBQ in Memphis will earn you a good matured scolding and lecture on the evils of "wet ribs", complete with the threat that "you do not deserve my ribs!" They are also IMO some of the very finest ribs in the known and charted world ..... and I have eaten at the best BBQ joints from NC to TN to TX to KC .... and all points in between. |

Go with what the chef recommends....
My son is a chef and one evening a patron had some dispute over his Kobe steak. He told his server, it wasn't Kobe.....chef came out of the kitchen, adorned in his tallest chef's hat and offered paperwork on the particular cow he was enjoying.....parents of said cow, where raised, slaughtered, etc. After appeasing this diner with no bloodshed, he went back to his kitchen.....only to have a waiter come in and ask for Hollandaise this patron requested.....thought Jim was going to have a FIT!....lol CHEF! A hero in our house... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MixYRIUzVXs

My husband was vice-president of Skylark Meats about 10 years ago and they made a very high-end hot dog. At trade shows, we wouldn't let people have ketchup. We just told them it smothered the flavor. Most tried the hot dog and agreed they didn't need it. I do so miss those hot dogs. They're no longer made.
