Tell them to bring you whatever they would make for themselves

“Handing over the whole decision is more exposed than it sounds, and you might get something you would never have chosen. That is the entire point.”

The Recipe

  1. Go to a small place where someone is clearly cooking, not assembling: the nearest one where you can see or hear the kitchen.
  2. Tell whoever takes the order that you will eat whatever they would cook for themselves off shift, and mean it.
  3. Eat all of it, including the part you would have sent back.
