Your restaurant isn't fancier by using the language of the style of food for the categories. It's just obnoxious. Yes it's easy to deduce, I don't care I'm a dumb American and want everything to be as easy as possible. Thanks!

If antipasto and pasta come into contact with each other it creates a localized micro black hole and all the spaghetti twirls into one giant bite on a fork. :chef:

I don't know if I'd be amused by this or find it too cutesy. I think by itself it'd be fine but I also think a restaurant doing this would definitely go overboard into the realm of too cutesy.

"Disposable Income"

For the record though I loving love appetizers but they always make me cringe a bit when I buy them. Someone needs to make a restaurant that's nothing but appetizers but they're fairly priced.

Europeans have over a thousand different words for food. Words for food that grows out of the dirt, food that grows in the dirt, etc. Different colored food has usually different names. It's bonkers

All of you have heard about appetizer before. So today I'm presenting you appetizr, a hip modern version of the classical concept, for the young hip urban guy of today. I'm looking for $10 million in initial funding.

I’ve seen places have as many as three different categories of pre-meal items on them menu.

    Snacks
    Small Plates
    Appetizers
