Etiquette Tip of the Week: Plate Rotations

People often ask, "If my entrée is not in the best position to cut, may I turn the plate?"   The answer is, "Yes, you may turn your plate once."  You may not continue to rotate your plate this way and that like you are driving a bus.

When out for a business meal, do not mix all the food on your plate into one pile of hash.  In the comfort of your own home, when you are not entertaining others, feel free to pile on.

Thank you to our colleagues at the Culture & Manners Institute for sharing their insight weekly.
