Me Talk Pretty One Day (2000)
Story: Today's Special
by David Sedaris

Summary: (from Wiki)
Sedaris has trouble understanding the many complex food items on menus.

This story is an amusing reflection on the modern experience of eating in a New York restaurant and the author bemoans the chi chi food, the plating style and the lack of sustenance. He cannot find macaroni salad, or salisbury steak anywhere. The food is elegantly plated yet not fulfilling. One can totally relate to the overpriced, pretentions of the modern restaurant.

I laughed my way through this story and found it totally entertaining. Really good. Sedaris is just SO funny and he really gets it.
