re: Is "hand crafted" or "house made" the most over used food term?

Artisanal gets my vote. If the food is truly small batch and handmade, then it is accurate. If Quiznos or Panera calls their bread artisanal, it's marketing BS.

Exactly, and I'd say that goes for others restaurants, fast food, chain, or not, who say buy dough from a purveyor, pop it in the oven and claim to make their own bread. In truth it should be called "Semi-Homemade". Same can be said for those who claim to make their sauce in house and really actually just doctor up premade product like tomato sauce or worse with more premade products like stock and base, or worse still add stock and powder. It's the sneaky dishonesty that gets to me. Truth be known, if the real honesty was to come out and be said, the terms "House Made" "Hand Crafted" "Atrisan" and "Organic" would not be nearly so "over used" in the first place. It's the bullshitting people that IS the real problem.
