Skip the specials</h3><p>The specials are apparently just a trap to get you to dine off the second menu. Ramsay explains that "specials are there to disappear throughout the evening. When they list 10 specials, that's not special.</p><div><figure><amp-img src="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/06/handwritten-italian-marketing-menu.jpg" srcset="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/06/handwritten-italian-marketing-menu_GH_content_550px.jpg 550w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/06/handwritten-italian-marketing-menu_GH_content_650px.jpg 650w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/06/handwritten-italian-marketing-menu_GH_content_750px.jpg 750w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/06/handwritten-italian-marketing-menu_GH_content_850px.jpg 850w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/06/handwritten-italian-marketing-menu_GH_content_950px.jpg 950w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/06/handwritten-italian-marketing-menu_GH_content_1050px.jpg 1050w" sizes="89vw" title="" alt="" height="9" width="16" layout="responsive"></amp-img></figure></div><h3>2. Be wary of menu items with exaggerated titles </h3><p>Ramsay says less is more when it comes to the names of the dishes on the menu. Restaurants are notorious for using titles like "world famous" to boost a certain item but that is usually based on just a handful of opinions and don't mean much. </p><p>"They start coming up with these terminologies, saying "and the wicked, famous, best in the country profiteroles." Who said that? Who named that?" asks Ramsay. </p><div><figure><a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/463448617875233828/" target="_blank"><amp-img src="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/06/324b397d30cbb0c48e20fbef16bdf837.jpg" srcset="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/06/324b397d30cbb0c48e20fbef16bdf837_GH_content_550px.jpg 550w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/06/324b397d30cbb0c48e20fbef16bdf837_GH_content_650px.jpg 650w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/06/324b397d30cbb0c48e20fbef16bdf837_GH_content_750px.jpg 750w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/06/324b397d30cbb0c48e20fbef16bdf837_GH_content_850px.jpg 850w" sizes="89vw" title="" alt="" height="9" width="16" layout="responsive"></amp-img></a><figcaption class="op-vertical-center"><cite><a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/463448617875233828/" target="_blank">Pinterest</a></cite></figcaption></figure></div><p><!-- [invalid-shortcode] --></p><p><strong>Find out what Ramsay's 3rd rule is as well as a bonus tip on the next page. </strong></p><p></p><h3></h3><h3>3. Don't hesitate to haggle for wine</h3><p>This is probably one of the most important rules on the list. According to Ramsay, when eating out at fancy restaurants, you should always ask for the "bin end" list to get the best deal on wine. This list includes vintages that are on rotation, vinos that haven't sold quickly enough as well as bottles with damaged labels.</p><p>He also says that you customers don't need to be afraid to chat up the sommelier, there's a good chance they won't rip you off. You can get the wine expert to "come up with a great glass or great bottle and give him a price. And make sure it's under $30."</p><div><figure><amp-img src="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/06/restaurant-person-people-hand.jpg" srcset="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/06/restaurant-person-people-hand_GH_content_550px.jpg 550w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/06/restaurant-person-people-hand_GH_content_650px.jpg 650w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/06/restaurant-person-people-hand_GH_content_750px.jpg 750w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/06/restaurant-person-people-hand_GH_content_850px.jpg 850w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/06/restaurant-person-people-hand_GH_content_950px.jpg 950w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/06/restaurant-person-people-hand_GH_content_1050px.jpg 1050w" sizes="89vw" title="" alt="" height="9" width="16" layout="responsive"></amp-img></figure></div><h3><!-- [invalid-shortcode] --></h3><h3>Bonus Tip: Always reserve an extra spot</h3><p>As someone who spends a lot of time in restaurants, Ramsay has a bonus rule for couples who frequently dine out. If you're planning on a romantic dinner for two, book a table for three suggests the foul-mouthed chef. By doing this, you're most likely to be seated at a bigger table and you'll be able to avoid "getting stuck in the corner like a doorstop."</p><p><strong>Share these great tips with anyone you know that loves to dine out. </strong></p></div>
