It is not very common for Italians to give huge tips. In fact, Italians don't give tips at all. There have been stories of tourists leaving tips on the table only to be followed by a waiter with the money: "Excuse me Mister, you left this!" That is why there is an option to not give tips.

While I was working in Kailua (Oahu Hawaii) I had the benefit of eating out at a restaurant on my lunch break every day that I was stationed out there.

The current economic downturn has affected every aspect of the American economy, including the food service industry. The NRA has projected a 1% drop in all restaurant sales for 2009 (when adjusted for inflation), potentially making 2008 and 2009 the only two consecutive years where restaurant sales have fallen since the NRA started keeping track in 1971. That's sobering news for any restaurateur, and many restaurant managers can tell you after a quick glance over last quarter's books that this NRA prediction isn't coming as a huge surprise.

Many people hear about food safety certification and automatically assume that it’s only for those people who work in restaurants. However, in any business where food is prepared, served, packaged, or sold, food safety is priority number one.

Too often, employers take for granted that people understand how to be safe with food. Unfortunately, too many people have no idea of what food safety really is or how they can benefit[..]

When going out to eat at a local Mexican Restaurant it is important to consider the cleanliness of the operation before dining and to make sure that your family is safe. Most local Mexican Restaurants with good reputations are fine. However if you are not sure, you may wish to check it out first.

If they are hanging around out back and have matted hair and loosely fit clothes and no shirts on, this is a clue that there are issues. Remember that with Mexican food there are lots of cold lettuce and other[..]

We were waiting for our food with flies buzzing around us. The windows were covered with thick curtains; the table clothes were dirty after the weekend. When we had waited for a long time, a young waitress brought our plates and put them in front of us, Spaghetti Bolognese and lasagna: pasta with ketchup, a little cheese and a grey, horribly smelling shaking cube. Out of words we looked at each other; is it for this treatment and food that people queue night after night? We had seen long queues in front of the peso-restaurants and had decided to try a local popular pizzeria. On Monday at lunch time there was no queue in the street, but we had had to wait in a small lobby before we were[..]

Let's face it, most of us don't have much time to spend in the kitchen these days. There's always something to do, places to go, and people to see, and that doesn't include the time you spend at work. Takeout or going to a restaurant solves the problem nicely, right? As a short term solution it does, but as a long term solution it can be cutting off your nose despite your face. If you could copycat recipes from restaurants and cook them at home it would save you money and much more while not missing out on the good things in life.
