Utensils Signals
Did you know you can communicate with your wait staff without saying a word? Here are positions for your utensils that'll speak up for you!
Chopstick Etiquette
Who doesn't rub their wooden chopsticks together when they come out of their paper wrapper?
Apparently in expensive Far East Asian dinning it's considered rude.
Thankfully those restaurants have the expensive chop sticks that don't need rubbing.
Japanese Chopstick Etiquette
Resting your chopsticks across your bowl is considered a big no no, instead place chopsticks on the chopstick rest.
More On Chopsticks
NO never do this! Don't stand your chopsticks in your rice bowl, it's considered an offering to the dead!
Cutlery Utensils
Avoid holding your knife like a dagger or place it back on the table once you've picked them up. Bad manners
An Informal Setting
This is considered an INFORMAL setting. Who knew there were even rules for being
informal?
Formal Settings
And this is what a FORMAL dining set up looks like.
Notice all utensils sit on the sides of the plate and never on top
Napkin Rules
Napkins are used for one thing only, and that's dabbing a mouth.
Never wipe your mouth with a napkin, you should always dab
Formal Setting: Glasses and Wine
You can have up to four glasses. The top left glass is for red wine. Directly below that you will find the white wine
glass. At the top right you will find a champagne glass
or perhaps a smaller glass for dessert wines or port.
On the bottom right is your water glass.
