Dining out is scary stuff

NYT restaurant critic Frank Bruni writes:

The five scariest words that a New York diner can hear have nothing to do with failed health inspections, bungled reservations or eccentric concoctions, although an introduction to a caramel-cloaked olive the other night did send a chill down my spine.

The five scariest words are: "Let me explain the menu."

With all due respect to Mr. Bruni, I beg to differ. The five scariest words are: "This sushi's 50 percent off."
