Chef John’s Trick for Knowing What NOT to Order at Restaurants

In an interview with our favorite cooking personality, we asked the chef for one rare skill he possessed that no one would ever pay him for. His response? “I can look at a restaurant menu and tell which items are made with leftovers and maybe should be avoided,” he shares.
Through his years of restaurant experience, Chef John has developed a keen eye for reading menus that makes him the best person to invite out to eat. But, believe it or not, there’s a trick to this that makes the chef’s secret skill easy to adopt for your own menu hacking. So, if you want to eat by Chef John’s standards (which, don’t we all?), here is the rule to follow.

I Tried 7 Cottage Cheese Brands and This Is the One I Will Buy Again
I grew up eating my fair share of cottage cheese. That’s because when my mom was out of tuna and bologna, she broke out the container of cottage cheese and a can of pineapple and said, “Lunch is ready!” And I came running.
Ironically this beloved food of my childhood is having a bit of a resurgence in popularity, and I’m here for it. I’m glad others are finally appreciating one of my favorite foods, but if you’re going to eat it, you should know that they’re not all created equal. That’s why I put seven different brands to the test. There were some clear winners and some very clear losers.
