People Discuss Irresistible Restaurant Menu Items

There have been many times in my life when I've made impulsive decisions based on restaurant menus. I'm not exactly ashamed to admit it. If a restaurant is doing its job right then there should be something on there that's downright irresistible. How could you not order it? For me, it's a calamari appetizer at dinner. If I'm at breakfast or brunch with friends, I'm going with any iteration of eggs benedict available. I'm a fiend for my menu impulses as so many of us are. Who amongst us won't order a delicious pile of fried pickles and ranch at an American joint? Some menu items are just inescapable and I think we need to accept that.

An Askreddit thread posed this very question, "What's hard for you to resist if you see it on a restaurant menu?" Of course, many people had answers. Everything from a delicious cannoli to the coveted appetizer sampler platter. Here's everything that people said!

    Font - bootsandchoker. 1d When I was in Ireland, I kept seeing a goat cheese, walnut, beet salad that was basically mixed greens with walnuts, sweet red beets, and goat cheese crumbled on top with a delicious balsamic vinaigrette. I swear, I had never seen it before on a menu or even knew about that sorta salad. But, then again, the only restaurants my family and I ever went to were middle eastern/Eastern European kebab places (I'm Georgian), so maybe those salads are a popular thing and I've ju

Burrata is so fucking delicious and I'll serve it at home but I always feel slightly guilty about eating most of it myself.

    Font - Hoya Destroya33 - 1d Onion rings. Love me some crispy, hand cut, beer battered onion rings. Edit: for the people asking how does hand cut make a difference, I already answered in one of the thread but to put it here, I just put hand cut to make sure it's fresh, shop made onion rings not the frozen and processed onion rings bullshit. Sure, most restaurants probably use the processed ones but there are still good ones who make their own from scratch. Reply 5.3k

    Font - mbklein OP • 1d For me it's chicken & waffles. And crême brûlée. Reply 2.5k hi850 1d ... If a place has crème brûlée, we're getting it. I know vanilla has gotten expensive but it's disappointing that I rarely see the vanilla bean seeds at the bottom of the dish anymore. Places that serve crème brûlée are usually charging top dollar for it so I'd like to see more places use vanilla bean as opposed to extract. But maybe it's not super important as I've still had great ones recently. G 207 ↓
