Could be a language barrier. But I doubt the chef(s) are the people
sending the lunch and dinner specials via email. More like they farmed
the job out to a 20-something who is more used to texting than typing
and figures this is a leg up in that big career

The Valetine's Day Menu includes an option for 'Beef Tartare' but it's
baked in puff pastry. en croute. How do you bake beef and call it tartare?
