I’m planning on going back to a restaurant I was at last week… But to try one of the other dishes that looked good that I didn’t try (even though the dish I had might be the best fish dish I’ve ever tried). But I have struggled with trying new things at restaurants in the past because it’s hard to commit to a mystery dish that might be good vs the known dish that I know I’ll like (usually burgers or pasta).

But after trying a taster menu at a michelin star restaurant (not the one I might go back to today), which was full of dishes I’d never order on my own but every single one of them were amazing, I have an easier time taking that risk.

But I never blamed anyone other than myself for not trying new dishes before that.

Edit: I went back and had one of the other dishes, unfortunately it wasn’t as good as the last one, but it was still decent and now I know I prefer the first dish. Though there’s still others I want to try, first dish might be out of season by the time I try everything. And horrible things didn’t happen just because I ended up trying a dish that I wouldn’t choose again.
