Yes.
I feel the same way about "wine program" or "cocktail program". Is that management speak for offering wine and cocktails? Does having a "program" somehow add value to the transaction of buying wine, or is it simply an added word allowing a bigger price gouge on booze?

Ugh. Program. It's not software, it's a wine list. Or a cocktail menu. I don't wanna hear about how you hired the biggest wine or cocktail geeks--I'm the one paying/eating/drinking/enjoying. It's not about your staff's credentials, it's about my enjoyment.

"sultana"

I was all excited thinking there was something fancy in my salad. It was raisins. Raisins made from green grapes. Ridiculous.

In some places, BBQ is the product only and not the process and not a verb.

Not specifically food related, but, if I never hear of some chef "killing it"' or someone's meal being "on point", it will be too soon.

And, don't get me started on "upscale southern or refined comfort food", which seems to be every new restaurant.

Means out in front, or in the lead.


Just a guess. Didn't search. I might have made that up.

Reminds me of something Guy Fieri would say. Like Money.
