Sliders should exist only as an appetizer. There's no reason to offer them as an entree.
I like ordering appetizer sliders as an entree, because a lot of regular restaurant entree burgers are HUGE. I get it, most Americans are fat, but some of us don't need a 1500 calorie meal.

Stop putting aioli (which is literally just mayonnaise) on everything. Also, bleu cheese crumbles or bleu cheese anything other than salad dressing.

Asian fusion food. I don't mean the natural fusion that happens when one culture is introduced to another, like how Chinese restaurants in Boston have lobster dishes. But the deliberate weird food mixing that is trying SO hard to be hip and trendy.
 
making every damn thing into a burrito. Sushi burrito, phở burrito, cotton candy "burritos" stuffed with ice cream and candy.

This is basically every brewery in my hometown. And everything has to be an IPA and super hoppy.
I can't talk though because I'm one of those douchebags who drinks ciders brewed by monks or some shit.

I notice that over-stacking treats into massive piles of indulgences is more and more common, I have a friend who posts these horrifying food pics like brightly colored milkshakes with a mountain of cotton candy and all sorts of sugary things stuck in. It's just too much damn sugar, you don't need to do that to yourself. Diabeetus is not an aesthetic.
 
As somebody who enjoys craft beer, I hate that every craft brewery is some hip, bright, trying to be happy place. I want to sit in the corner and slowly get drunk off of many different beers. Basically I want an underground dive bar but with lots of good beers on tap.

Just another way to fatten up already fattening food in most cases. It also overpowers the other flavors on the sandwich or item.

I don't like mixing different things. I want to drink the same thing. I don't want to spend five bucks each on a small glass of 99.9% identical IPA served by some cuck with a fussy beard.
 
I hate overly attentive waitstaff. Yes it's bad if it takes twenty minutes to get water but that doesn't mean I want you popping in every twenty seconds to ask if I need anything, fuck off I'm trying to eat/drink here.
 
Choosing "a protein" for your meal, Jesus guys were aren't in some Blade Runner dystopian world where everyone eats processed slime with food coloring and some ramen noodle flavoring and we dont' speak like the Coneheads where we have to break down what we label food to it's most technical.

I like burritos. I like burgers. The Whopperito is not good. A burger needs its components separated into layers. (Also I hate full size tomato slices in wraps, as opposed to the tomato chunks you might find in a regular burrito, but that could just be me).
 
Almost every new thing Red Robin does, for example; my local one started giving dinky baskets instead of plates.

I do like the "wedgie" style tho, even if it's just putting a burger in iceberg lettuce.

I've been to a Red Robin exactly once, and I didn't care for it. I don't like casual chain dining restaurants (the TGIF's, Chili's, Applebee's) of the world in general, though. They always have weird trendy food items but not done well at all, and it's expensive for what you get. I prefer both McDonald's and local restaurants.
 
"Queso". It's just spanish for cheese, but it always seems to mean a gross blend of spunk and chunks. Whatever the fuck queso is, it's not Mexican food.

“Queso” is short for “chili con queso” which is a specific Tex-Mex thing. News flash: when you go to a Mexican place in the USofA, chances are it’s not “GEEN-U-WINE” Mexican food but some localization of Tex-Mex or southwestern Mexican-influenced food. One you leave the American Southwest and Texas, most “Mexican food” places are kinda trash. Like with Cajun food, some styles of food and cooking just haven’t migrated throughout the country well enough yet. I got dragged to a Cajun place in DC and it was a very depressing experience, especially considering the bill. “Blackened” on the east coast apparently means “lightly seasoned”.

Most authentic Mexican food can be pretty nasty/flavorless unless you grew up eating that stuff. Even some delicacies, such as menudo and lengua, can be disgusting when it’s made by people who don’t know what they’re doing.
