To quote a chef I worked under, “if you can’t accurately describe what you’re making in a sentence, you don’t understand what you’re making.” Menus should be written in such a way the primary demographic of that restaurant will know what you’re talking about. Fancy restaurants primarily cater to people with more money and the people who have the kind of money to eat there frequently. Those people will work higher paying jobs that also by necessity require an bachelor’s degree, sometimes even a graduate school program. And at least in business school I know they teach and have mock business dinners at fancy establishments and you get taught how to decipher the language of the menu. That said, I remember there being some Michelin star restaurant that wrote their menu in the form of poems. Normal restaurant industry people look at that bs with the same frustration you so because it’s pretentious snobbery.
