Trawling menus

Some guy in an agony aunt column was complaining that when he and his partner are planning to go to a restaurant, she pores through dozens of restaurant menus first to decide which one to go to. She won’t just turn up at a restaurant and see what’s on offer.
 
The guy has tried to shake her out of this laborious searching but she insists it’s just sensible to study a whole batch of menus first so they’ll get what they want.
 
Also, as they’re both vegetarian, she studies the menus to ensure they offer a range of veggie dishes – or at least one or two acceptable options.
 
I’m with the guy’s partner. Not studying a few menus first is a bit like taking pot luck at the cinema without looking at what’s showing.
 
And yes, there’s the vegetarian angle. If there’s only one dull veggie choice on one of the menus, you can steer clear and go somewhere better.
 
Not that Jenny and I eat out very often, it’s getting so expensive. But that makes it more important to study what’s on offer in advance so we’ll enjoy our meal.
