Eating at restaurants in USA
Eating at restaurants is much different than in Korea.
Here are some hints to help you!
First, the food is very different.
You can find American food in Korea, but how often do you eat it???
What American restaurants can you find in Ko-rea???
Why are restaurants differ-ent?
In Korea, if you need something there is usu-ally a button to ask for help. A person will come to your table.
In USA, you have a “server,” or a single spe-cial person to help your table. What can you say to get help???
No Yeogiyo button
Excuse me
Servers in USA are paid by the customers, not the restaurant. The customer usually gives 15-20% as tip.
So, if you and your friend eat dinner, and the bill is $20.00, how much do you tip? Usually $3.00-4.00.
If the server is really good, you give more. If the server is really bad, and the meal is bad, you tip less.
Tip the Server
What is on the menu???
Every place is a little dif-ferent.
In Korea, if you go to a Kimbap restaurant, the menu is always the same.
Usually, American menus have a description of the food.
Korea:
At a restaurant like TGI Fridays, you can have 3 different “courses.”
Different Courses:1- Appetizer2- Entrée3- Dessert
Courses
Appetizers are like a snack.
Perhaps you are really hungry and want to eat something soon.
You can buy something for everyone to share before the meal.
Appetizers
An entrée is what your meal is.
How are entrées different in USA???
Many people do not get appetizers and only get an entrée.
Entrée
Korea vs. USA
USA
Personal plate and meal
French fries
Meat
Size
Korea
Communal eating. Ev-eryone has the same thing.
Rice
More rice, less meat
Smaller sizes. Serve yourself
Everyone’s favorite part of the meal.
You can order something sweet to end the meal
What is your favorite dessert in Korea???
Dessert
We tip the server in USA.
15-20% of the bill.
Most cell-phones have a tip calculator to help people who are bad at math!!
Don’t Forget!!!
I was a server at a restaurant during college.
I was very good at the job, but I also hated it.
Who knows Fondue???
Once upon a time…
Like TGI Fridays, Fondue can have many courses.
Appetizer = cheese fondue (bread, apples, veg-etables)
Entrée = raw meat, you cook it! Dessert = chocolate fondue (rice crispy treats,
cheese cake, brownies, strawberries, bananas, marshmellows)
Fondue is from Switzerland!
