everyone loves a happy hour. the booze are cheap and usually the crap food is even cheaper. revelers at mccormick and schmick’s found out that they can order and eat all they want while in the restaurant but anything they don’t finish must stay in the restaurant–doggy bags are not allowed. a customer at jennifer [...]
chipotle
i’m surprised it didn’t make the list of the top 10 mispronounced foodie words (maybe chipotle isn’t foodie-enough). it’s pronounced ‘chi-po-t-lay’ not ‘chip-ol-tee’. just like realtor is pronounced ‘real-tour’ not ‘real-a-tor’. anyway, here’s the list via the chicago tribune.

Gnocchi (NYOH-kee)
Gyro (YEER-oh)
Huitlacoche (wheet-lah-KOH-chay)

Mole (MOH-lay)
Paczki (POONCH-key)
Pho (fuh)
Prosciutto (proh-SHOO-toe)
Sake (SAH-kay)
