A few restaurants have trained their wait-droids to ask, "How does
everything taste?" instead of the usual, "Can I get you anything?"
or, "Is everything OK here? <smile>".

Does the term, "How does everything taste?" kinda throw people off?
Granted, that's our cue to ask for more drinks or condiments, but do
I really want to go into detail and tell them how everything tastes?

It really gives me the Willies to hear them ask that - it just comes
out as so ingenuine, IMO.

So last weekend when we were asked "How does everything taste?", we
both said the sauteed mushrooms were terribly salty and we really
didn't want them on the table taking up space.

So the waitress offered to rinse them off for us. Duh.

I dine out a lot and not once has a waitunit asked me "how does
everything taste"? Not even the chain restaurants. Sure, they all have
their little 'canned' script when checking back. I think I would laugh
if they asked me how everything tasted and gone into this lengthy
diatribe how *I* would change the taste, texture etc. The goal of
course would be to watch the waitunit's eyes glaze over and try to find
a way to squirm out of the conversation. "How does everything taste" is
a little off-putting to me. It's almost like they are experimenting with
the food and looking for patron feedback.

Are you kidding? That's a very strange question.

To me they should get a cue because they notice my drink
is empty or I look around for them. Be that as it may, How
does everything taste requires some kind of answer like ...
Good? Yummy? What are they, fishing for a compliment?

Besides, greasy spoons have the best food sometimes.

Top Diner on Lyndale Avenue North in Minneapolis. Best hash browns in
town. I don't think they're in business anymore ‹ been years since I
was there.

Beats the hell out of "How is everything tasting?" Answer: "I don't
know, I didn't ask it." Personally, I think I'll switch to the
detailed description/review. Maybe a take off on a wine critique:
"The burger has a bold opening note followed by good body and hints
of onion and peach, but the finish is definitely too "oakey" .
