Your friend's daughter isn't as savvy as she thinks. Traditional, homestyle cooking is very much on trend.

One celebrity chef who is part of this trend, is Tyler Florence, and I had dinner at his San Francisco restaurant recently...Wayfare Tavern. It was fabulous, and the place is very popular and hard to get a reservation for....I won a contest, and that was how I got to dine there! Loved it!

I would love to go there. I love Tyler Florence.

Re: Having a Traditional Meal

I can't read all the comments now, but I've read several of them, and I'm looking at this from the other side. Perhaps this father wasn't much of a father to his daughter. Maybe there are hidden resentments going on. Who knows? Maybe he even abused her?

She sounds like a horrible person BUT until I know both sides, I can't make a judgment.

I understand your position. What I do know is that he felt badly her mother died of uterine cancer when the daughter was 13. He vowed to be there for her in any way he could. He re-married but the daughter loathes his wife and has made him feel badly for having another female in his life. If he enjoys himself with folks his age group, she resents it and gives him the remarks, the cold shoulder, and estranges herself from him. I think she enjoys punishing her father and blaming him for everything that goes wrong in her life and the world. A meal isn't the place to be so mean spirited and cruel.

Re: Having a Traditional Meal

I think your friend's daughter was extremely rude and out of line. How would she feel if her father criticized her choice of food selections for her meal?

Re: Having a Traditional Meal

I think traditional meals ARE traditional meals because they've stood the test of time and likely always will... What won't are the trendy things such as what the presumptuous, ill-mannered and full of herself daughter ordered. She's just waiting to be taken down a peg, and sure enough, sooner or later she will be.
