Something we should all remember. Food taste preference is a personal thing. I dine out with friends and we almost never agree on the quality of the food. What is bland to me may be too spicy for another. It all starts with what you are accustomed to eating. I absolutely dread eating out with self appointed food critics. What they do best is spoil their dining partners evening. I tend to over look minor problems with the food or service. No one is always perfect. I will discretely mention serious problems in service or food quality to the waiter without making my dining partners uncomfortable. If you go to your favorite place long enough, you will encounter substandard food or service eventually. As long as it is not frequent, not a problem for me. I supervise a fairly large operation and I can say from experience that you will never make everyone happy. If you work in a large office, the temperature is too hot for some and too cold for others. Try co-ordinating an office party and you will see the wide range of opinions on food and decor. Some people behave like little princes and princessess and expect everyone to cater to their taste. It's only food. Does every meal you eat need to be perfect? Can you even remember what you ate last month? I believe it is better to enjoy your friends company and ignore the small stuff. You will live a happier and healthier life. If that fails, order more wine.
