fork always stays in your left hand, while American style allows you
to switch the fork from left hand to right hand based on what you’re
eating. European style is considered the most proper globally and
may indicate that you or your guest(s) travel the world.
DESSERT:
Icing on the cake after a successful meal.
• CHECK, PLEASE: If you want to pick up the check…make it
smooth. Get there early, provide your server with a credit card
and tell them you’re taking care of the bill. If arriving later, excuse
yourself to the bathroom and get the waiter then. When that time
finally comes, they can take
care of the tab seamlessly
and present you with the
paid check. The thought
that you’ve taken care
of it so covertly shows
consideration (and a little
magic) that will definitely
impress your guests.
• SPLIT CHECKS: Because
you called earlier, you
know if you can use a
card or cash. If possible,
have extra cash in smaller
bills to make change for
someone else. You won’t
be the one holding things
up and you may help
someone out. We call
that being the people’s
champion and guests will
remember.
• FAREWELL: Say
goodbye to everyone
personally, even if it was
a larger group and you
didn’t get to chat with
them all. Leave a business
card or connect online
to schedule a follow up.
Don’t leave it to chance
that you will meet again.
