Sorry, I couldn't come up with a better exemple on the spot.

The idea isn't to void all recipe that have fancy names. It's to be on the look for those recipes that have very simple names and are located in areas of the menu that aren't optimal. Those hidden gems will often get you all the quality and taste for a lower price and/or bigger quantity.

If there the whole menu is written using imaginative titles and there's a "beef stew" hidden in a corner, you can well be certain that it's a "boeuf bourguinon". There are many reason why it is hidden so. In the end, the main reason is that the meal in question isn't as profitable for the restaurant. It's up to you to decide if it is profitable for you.



Perhaps a better idea is just not to eat in chain restaurants if you don't want to be psychologically manipulated and/or ripped off?


If you believe for one minute that any profitable restaurant isn't psychologically manipulating you are ripping you, you are in for a surprise.


Some few businesses are run on an honest and overt level IME. In general they are not major chains and certainly not ones that are floated. YMMV.
