小贴士
请客点菜的学问大
点菜也是一门学问，讲究时令、风味、价格、原料以及组合等。在选择饭店就餐时，首先要确定饭店的主题风味，最好不要选择号称什么都有的无派类。点菜时你还得考虑菜肴相互搭配及数量的问题。
step 1: read the entire menu（仔细阅读菜单）
once you arrive, reading the entire menu carefully, including the descriptions.
到了店里要仔细阅读整个菜单，包括里面的简介。
step 2: skip the basics（跳过每个饭店都会有的那些家常菜）
step 3: skip the fancy entrees（跳过那些写得过于好的菜）
beware of entrees that sound too good to be true. they probably are.
对于有些写的过于好的，也要留心会不会不真实，虽然他们有可能是真的。
step 4: stick with the restaurant's genre（遵循饭店的特色）
