Hi friends!

Welcome back to Daily English Talk.

If this is your first time here, welcome to the family.

We are 33,000 people now.

Thank you so much, everyone.

Thank you, guys.

We upload a new lesson every single day.

Don't miss one.

Okay, before we start, I have a question for you.

Oh no, what did I do?

Tom had dinner at a fancy restaurant last week, a very special night.

But something went wrong.

Here we go.

So here is your question for today.

What did Tom do wrong at the fancy restaurant?

Was it something with the fork, something with his food, or something he said to the waiter?

Please don't tell them yet.

Stay with us until the end, and we will tell you exactly what happened.

So, Tom, tell us about this fancy restaurant.

Okay.

It was my anniversary dinner.

I made a reservation at a beautiful Italian restaurant downtown.

Aw, that is so sweet.

The lighting was soft, there was music playing, and the table had a white tablecloth.

Sounds perfect.

What happened?

Well, I looked at the table and there were four forks next to my plate.

Four forks?

I know, but I remembered the rule.

You start from the outside and work your way in.

Yes, that is correct.

The fork on the outside is for the first course.

The one closest to the plate is for the main course.

Exactly.

So I felt very sophisticated. And then?

So the waiter came and asked how I wanted my steak cooked and I completely forgot the words.

Oh no, Tom!

I looked at the waiter and said, um, not too red, but also not too dry.

Not too red, not too dry?

The waiter smiled and said, medium, sir?

And I said, yes, that one.

This is exactly why we make this podcast, everyone, so you never say not to read to a waiter again.

You are welcome.

Learn from my pain.

Okay, before the vocabulary, let's look at one important grammar point.

Polite requests.

In a restaurant, you need to sound polite, and two phrases will help you do that.

Number one, could I?

This is a polite question.

You use it to ask for something.

For example, could I see the menu, please?

Could I have some water?

Could I get the bill?

Number two, I'd like.

The full form is I would like.

You use it to place an order or state what you want.

For example, I'd like the grilled salmon, please.

I'd like a table for two.

Lily, what is the difference?

Could I is asking if something is possible.

I'd like is telling them your choice directly.

Both are polite.

Both are correct.

And one small tip.

Try not to say, I want the pasta at a formal restaurant.

It sounds a little too direct.

I'd like the pasta sounds much more natural and polite.

Let's practice.

Lily gives the situation, and I answer.

You want the dessert menu.

Could I see the dessert menu, please?

Perfect!

You want to order sparkling water.

I'd like a sparkling water, please.

Beautiful!

Everyone at home, say those sentences out loud.

Speaking practice works best when you actually speak.

Okay, vocabulary time.

We have five topic areas today.

Are you ready?

Let's eat vocabulary style.

First topic, table setting.

Word number one, cutlery.

Cutlery.

C-U-T-L-E-R-Y.

Cutlery means all the metal tools you eat with, the forks, knives, and spoons on the table.

The restaurant had beautiful silver cutlery on every table.

Tom, did you know the cutlery rule before your anniversary dinner?

I googled it under the table.

My wife did not notice.

100

I think.

101

Word number two, napkin.

102

N-A-P-K-I-N.

103

A napkin is the cloth you put on your lap during a meal.

104

It keeps your clothes clean.

105

She unfolded the napkin and placed it on her lap.

106

At my dinner, my napkin started on the table, then somehow ended up on my shoulder, and then finally on my lap.

107

The napkin journey.

108

Classic, Tom.

109

Okay, this topic is personal for me.

110

How to order your meat.

111

Word number three, rare.

112

R-A-R-E.

113

Rare means the meat is cooked very quickly.

114

The inside is red and soft.

115

He ordered his steak rare, so it was red in the center.

116

I respect rare people, but no. Word number four, medium.

117

M-E-D-I-U-M.

118

My word.

119

Medium means the outside is brown and the inside is pink.

120

Not too red, not too dry.

121

I'd like my steak medium, please.

122

Use this sentence, everyone.

123

Save yourself.

124

You can also say medium rare, a little more pink, or medium well, a little less pink.

125

Word number five.

126

Well done.

127

W-E-L-L-D-O-N-E.

128

Well done means fully cooked, no pink inside, brown all the way through.

131

I like to know my food is cooked, Tom.

132

It is a personal choice, a very firm personal choice.

Moving on.

How do you describe food in English?

135

Let's learn.

136

Flavorful means the food has a strong and delicious taste.

139

It is full of flavor.

140

The soup was incredibly flavorful.

141

I could taste herbs, garlic, and lemon.

142

This word is perfect when food surprises you in a good way.

143

You take one bite and your face just goes, oh!

144

No!

145

Word number seven, rich.

146

R-I-C-H.

147

In food, rich means very heavy, creamy, or intense.

148

Usually refers to sauces or desserts.

149

The chocolate cake was so rich that I could only eat half.

150

Lily, has food ever defeated you?

151

Yes!

152

I once ordered truffle cream pasta.

153

One word, rich.

154

I needed a 15-minute rest after eating it.

155

She called me and said, the pasta won.

156

Word number eight, bland.

157

B-L-A-N-D.

158

Bland is the opposite of flavorful.

159

Very little taste.

160

Boring.

161

The salad was bland.

162

It needed salt and dressing.

163

I once had vegetable soup at a hotel.

164

One sip, I looked at Lily and said, I think they forgot what soup is.

165

She called it warm water with vegetable memories.

166

That is exactly what it was.

167

Things don't always go perfectly at a restaurant.

168

Let's learn how to handle problems politely.

169

Word number nine, overcooked.

170

O-V-E-R-C-O-O-K-E-D.

171

Overcooked means the food was cooked too long.

172

It can be dry or hard.

173

Excuse me, my chicken is a little overcooked.

174

Could I get a new one?

175

Notice the phrase, I'm sorry to bother you.

176

Always a great way to start a complaint.

177

Very polite.

178

Word number 10, undercooked.

179

U-N-D-E-R-C-O-O-K-E-D.

180

Undercooked means not cooked long enough.

181

This is a problem, especially with meat.

182

Excuse me, I think my steak is undercooked.

183

I asked for medium.

184

If this happens, stay calm. Be polite.

185

A good restaurant will always fix it.

186

I once sent back a burger because it was undercooked.

187

I was nervous, but the waiter was so kind.

188

Five minutes later, new burger.

Perfect.

190

Word number 11, substitute.

191

S-U-B-S-T-I-T-U-T-E.

No judgment.

198

Respect.

199

Last topic, paying the bill.

200

Everyone's favorite part.

201

Word number 12, check or bill.

202

In American English, people say check.

203

In British English, people say bill.

204

Both mean the same thing, how much you owe.

205

Could we get the check, please?

206

Could we have the bill, please?

207

You can also make a small gesture, pretend to write in the air.

208

Every waiter in the world understands this.

209

Universal restaurant language.

210

Beautiful.

211

Word number 13, split the bill.

212

S-P-L-I-T.

213

To split the bill means to divide the cost between people.

214

Everyone pays their share.

215

Should we split the bill or let's split it down the middle?

216

Down the middle means 50-50, equal.

217

Tom, tell them the split story.

218

Lily and I had a content meeting at a restaurant.

219

At the end, she said, should we split it?

220

I said, yes.

221

She had ordered three things.

222

I had one thing.

223

You had sparkling water, Tom.

224

That costs money.

225

Word number 14, tip, T-I-P, also called gratuity, G-R-A-T-U-I-T-Y.

226

A tip is extra money you give the waiter to thank them for good service.

227

In the United States, a standard tip is 15 to 20 percent of the bill.

228

In the UK and Europe, tipping is appreciated but less expected.

229

The service was wonderful, so we left a generous tip.

230

Aw, Tom always tips well, even when he forgets the word medium.

231

I have priorities.

232

Repeat after us.

233

Say every phrase out loud.

234

Could I see the menu, please?
