Eating Out..a perspective…
Most food has been made and consumed domestically throughout Western history. Eating out was for travelers, in inns and taverns where the customers were served more or less what would have been on the domestic table anyway. Our words for eating out are all French or translations – hotel, restaurant, caf6, menu, entr6e, chef (chef de cuisine), wine list (carte des vins), cover charge (couvert), maitre d’hotel, restaurateur, hors d’oeuvres, hostess (hotesse) – only with waiter (and waitress) do we
"Doing lunch" in the business world is regarded as a kind of sacred operation where, the mythology has it, the most important deals are made. There may not be a free lunch, but it is deductible!
We continue to make eating out special when we can. Romantic dinners, birthday dinners, anniversary dinners, retirement dinners, and all such celebrations are taken out of the home or the workplace and into the arena of public ritual.
ARTFUL SHEFFIELD hope that you enjoy your meal what ever your reason to celebrate!
