What are You Sick and Tired of?

When I was the dining critic for the Providence Journal in Providence, R.I., I got sooooo sick and tired of tiramisu. The area is rife with really good Italian restaurants, but few of them made this delightful Roman spoon dessert the way it’s actually made in Italy. Sickeningly sweet, frozen, laden with chocolate — it came in lots of forms, and I tired of them all after five years of reviewing.

In Atlanta, I’m beginning to see a pattern at restaurants with shrimp and grits (which I love), oysters on the half shell (let’s face it, not everyone’s menu should offer these) and now, the ubiquitous cheese course (which when well procured is a favorite, but it’s not always well procured).

What dishes would you be happy to never see (or eat) again?

This isn’t a dish, but a method of presentation. Stop the stacked meals already.
