The cases where one needs prior knowledge to navigate a menu are extremely rare, and most places fancy themselves a bit too precious by posing as if they have a unique philosophy/approach.

FYI, a restaurant in London was closed down last week because the wood paddles they served the meat on were full of bacteria. It's not only a yawner of a presentation, it's very unsanitary.

One or two are fine but the places around here all seem to have a bunch of them with some flavored with everything from oranges to coconut and others aiming to out-hop anything else that can be put in a glass.

Amen to that. IMO, hops are to beer what oak is to wine. IPAs have become the over-oaked chardonnay of the beer world.
