was this a thing 7-10 years ago?
i dont recall anything boasting all these different aiolis and shit. Now every neighborhood shit restaurant tries to cram random stuff into an aioli blend.
"a coconut-cumin aioli"
very strange 9/10/2013 4:10:50 PM |

The Rockford had a killer aioli for their crab cake sandwich at least a decade ago. No idea about these neighborhood restaurants that you speak of though. 9/10/2013 4:13:46 PM |

I, too, have pondered this. I assumed it was just places trying to throw a fancy word on the menu to make crap dishes sound better, because the majority of the populace has no clue what aioli is.

I don't think I've ever had it without at least a little bit of horseradish or dijon mustard but wikipedia says that it is, in fact, just tasty garlicy mayo. 9/10/2013 4:47:33 PM |

I've seen it popping up on a lot of menus lately. It's nothing new but I do think it's the condiment of choice to make a restaurant sound more sophisticated than it is. 9/11/2013 10:34:43 PM |

To be fair, aioli is a distinct thing.
What drives me nuts is seeing shit like "pommes frites" and "haricot vert" on menus. 9/11/2013 10:49:42 PM |
