I think cuisine falls under the category of culture. Share your horrible restaurant experiences here. They can revolve around anything that ruined the experience, whether bad service, bad company, bad food, bad atmosphere or whatever else, so long as it’s bad.
One time I was berated by a waiter at a Chinese restaurant for not ordering food with shrimp in it, even though I told him I was allergic. (Granted: that last part was a lie, but he didn’t know that.)
