Anthony Bourdain's Five Golden Rules Of Eating Out

1.  Eating is a submissive act. Assume the chef knows what he does well better than you do and ask for a tasting menu.

2. Avoid menus that try to be everything to everybody. The smaller the menu, the better. The perfect restaurant would only have one dish: “We have ramen noodle soup,  but it’s the best damn ramen noodle soup in New York.” 

3. Simple is hard to do right. A bad chef with no pride can find a way to fuck up anything. 

4. If you see a chicken Caesar, it’s time to get up and run.

5. Forget about eating out on weekends; those are amateur nights. Tuesday through Thursday nights around 9:30 is when you should be going out to dinner—you’re not going to be in the mosh pit with all the people who are in town to see The Lion King.

I would add to this list that the smaller the restaurant, the better.
