Why Menus Suck (500hats.com)

I do not understand why people continue to pay any sort of attention to Dave McClure. He cannot write a cogent sentence to save his life. He's a perfect symbol of the move-fast-think-later VC culture that is draining the fun out of tech.


"Too many items" is a problem with the restaurant, not the menu.

"Not enough pictures" - I prefer a good description than a photo. A photo doesn't tell you much at all...

"Simpler and more obvious recommendations" - I want recommendations from the waiter. Only sometimes, though. I'd rather go in based on the entre description rather than a recommendation from some random user.

I'd go on, but yeah...


My, that was certainly cringe-inducing. The only thing I really came away with is: I hope I'm never trapped in a room with Dave McClure... <shudder>


Is anyone as annoyed as I am that there were almost no capital letters on that entire website?
