A lot of this stuff is newbies discovering internettish lingo and taking it for a spin.. "this" would have been ok 10 years ago. Even amazeballs would have been ok 10 years ago. OK maybe 15.

Has anyone mentioned "signature" yet when used to hype food? "Tim's signature donuts," "Popeye's signature sides," etc. I see this everywhere now. The piddly little coffee kiosk at a grocery store I go to--not a very impressive one--has a sign up for their "signature sandwiches." They have no signature sandwiches; very likely, they're not even made there. One day I'm going to excuse myself over something by letting the other person know it was just my signature passive-aggressive mind games kicking in.

clemenza, Tuesday, 11 April 2017 23:01 (nine years ago)

like "gourmet", it means nothing now

"Mic drop"

MrDasher, Wednesday, 12 April 2017 17:59 (nine years ago)

when almost everything on menus is described as 'hand crafted' or 'house made'
like it's fine if's one or two items but when it's everything on the menu it feels a bit braggy and stupid

Yoni Loves Chocha (VegemiteGrrl), Wednesday, 12 April 2017 21:43 (nine years ago)

They want you to be comforted by the fact that some of the food they serve isn't just thawed out TV dinners.

Neanderthal, Wednesday, 12 April 2017 22:39 (nine years ago)

The Cheesecake Factory is about to open up in Toronto. Assume their Signature Cheesecakes are part of the package.

clemenza, Wednesday, 12 April 2017 22:53 (nine years ago)

Speaking of thawed out food...

Moodles, Wednesday, 12 April 2017 23:00 (nine years ago)

Signature means someone had to sign away their soul to get that recipe you monsters
