How's everything tasting over here?

Wednesday, July 7, 2004 » food thought

Over the last few years, I've noticed that instead of the usual, "how is everything?", waiters instead tend to ask me, "how's everything tasting?" What I can't figure out is if this is unique to Southern California or if this is just the new, more politically correct or customer-friendly method of inquiry. Whatever the reason, it's pretty annoying.
