Mar 23, 2007 -- Things to know about restaurants

When you go to a restaurant, you want to believe you’re being treated with the best service and care, right? Well, Smart Money recently published a “10 Things” list of things a restaurant doesn’t want you to know. The first is that you don’t want to go on a restaurant on Monday nights. Word is that they use day-old food that wasn’t used over the weekend. So, it’s not terrible, but if you’re paying big bucks you may want to go later in the weekend. Secondly, if a restaurant has a stew or soup on the menu, it is likely made up of ingredients weren’t used over the weekend. Another one to avoid is the “specials” on the menu. Often, servers don’t tell you the price of the specials as a way to jack up the bill. Be sure to ask the price of an item. Also, profit margins for dessert and drinks are huge. So, avoid those if you can. Fix something yourself when you get home.
