LoL! Agreed!

Also agree with you, who listed:
fries-but disagree with mashed. I'll take GOOD mashed anyday!
cupcakes
red velvet
blackened-which, really means burnt the way it's wrongfully disquised and called and served!

truffle everything; sauce, potatoes, oil
hot sauce everything. When did Tex-Mex, or Mex food take over the world? Bleck!

One more I thought of: SALMON.

[insert food type here]"...in a reduction sauce."

Fusion foods
Restaurant menus that insist their portabella mushroom tastes just like steak. (if I wanted something that tasted just like steak, I'd have steak.)

Baked sweet potato fries??? Way to totally ruin the whole point of boiling sliced starch in liquid grease.

Gotta go with cupcakes, especially the ones with a foot of fluffy icing on top. Yuck!

I've also noticed the restaurant dishes (and recipes) whose names are so descriptive that it takes you 20 minutes to order lunch. Always reminds me of the "Spam" bit from Monty Python:

" ..or Lobster Thermidor aux Crevettes with a Mornay sauce served in a Provencale manner with shallots and aubergines garnished with truffle pate, brandy and a fried egg on top and Spam."

Seems like the cooks just got lazy or the salad spinner broke.
Seriously, iceberg by any other name is still just iceberg. Blah.

I'm all about stinky cheese and crumbled bacon, though. Just could do without the wedge of iceberg. The only thing iceberg is good for, IMO, is taco salad, because it can hold up to the taco filling without wilting.

I will gladly eat sweet potato fries and sea salt caramels, though. Without question.

Lettuce should crunch. Especially when on a sandwich. Romaine sometimes can do the job, but rarely. For a BLT you must have crunchy iceberg or it's lame.

French fries

blah bread baskets (although I do like freshly baked rolls/biscuits)

Smoothies... are everywhere.

Chai tea.

Side salads with too few veggies and cheese/bacon/bread crumbs/blue cheese crumbles are the main ingredients.

Salads with various chicken/nut/fruit combinations - cranberries, walnuts, oranges, apples, sesame seeds, bbq chicken, plain chicken....over done and enough, IMO.

Feta cheese. It's good in it's place-Greek salad. But now it's said/used in everything....except where they use Ranch Dressing, of course. LoL!

Ranch dressing, - a dipping sauce or dressing to cure all ills; wings (which should be blue cheese), salads, fries, mashed potatos, bread. GMAB!
