Food That Says ‘Boo!’

She’s at it again (“The Romance of Dining,” by Ruth Reichl, Jan. 22). This time it isn’t “serious” food; it’s “unfrightening” food.

All right, kinder, gentler, I know, but talk about greed: a cheeseburger and fries for $13. This might be frightening to a few folks.

I have taken my very reluctant gourmet (VRG) to In & Out when a cheeseburger was in order and he seemed to enjoy it. We didn’t have a wine list, there was no airport, Dennis Hopper was nowhere to be seen, but the food was fresh, there was no sand in the lettuce and since there were no kiwis in sight, we weren’t frightened, threatened or offended.
