Dining Mistakes You're Making That You Never Knew About

3. "Confidence is a habit that can be developed by
acting as if you already had the confidence you
desire to have”
Enhance

4. Utensils Signals
 Did you know you can communicate with
your wait staff without saying a word?
Here are positions for your utensils
that'll speak up for you!

5. Chopstick Etiquette
 Who doesn't rub their wooden
chopsticks together when they come
out of their paper wrapper?
 Apparently in expensive Far East Asian
dinning it's considered rude.
 Thankfully those restaurants have the
expensive chop sticks that don't need
rubbing.

6. Japanese Chopstick Etiquette
 Resting your chopsticks across your bowl is considered a big
no no, instead place chopsticks on the chopstick rest.

7. More On Chopsticks
 NO never do this! Don't stand your chopsticks in
your rice bowl, it's considered an offering to the
dead!

8. Cutlery Utensils
 Avoid holding your knife like a dagger or
place it back on the table once you've
picked them up. Bad manners

9. Salt & Pepper
 ALWAYS pass the salt and pepper together and NEVER separately.

10. An Informal Setting
 This is considered an INFORMAL setting.
 Who knew there were even rules for being
informal?

11. Formal Settings
 And this is what a FORMAL dining set
up looks like.
 Notice all utensils sit on the sides of
the plate and never on top

12. Napkin Rules
 Napkins are used for one thing only, and that's
dabbing a mouth.
 Never wipe your mouth with a napkin, you should
always dab

13. Formal Setting: Glasses and Wine
 You can have up to four glasses.
 The top left glass is for red wine.
 Directly below that you will find the white wine
glass.
 At the top right you will find a champagne glass
or perhaps a smaller glass for dessert wines or
port.
 On the bottom right is your water glass.
