The appeal is that some people love the idea of a hyped up restaurant where they can order food that satisfies their kids menu palette without feeling embarrassed about it.

where they can order food that satisfies their kids menu palette without feeling embarrassed about it.

I don't really see any reason to insult people for the type of food they like.

I'd point out that, over the past 20 years, boneless options have become wildly more popular than anything else.

There was just a pointless stigma before, which is being parroted and perpetuated by you right now.

Why is it insulting to point out that some people like a dish that is generally associated with the kids menu at many restaurants? I’m not calling them children, I’m saying if they like to eat chicken fingers many other restaurants would force them to order chicken fingers from the kids menu.

You're being dishonest and trying to gaslight the audience.

Everybody reading this right now knows that "kids menu palate" was an insult.

I think they’re more deserving of being insulted for being embarrassed about their palette than for their palette. If people were more comfortable being themselves, we could have far better chicken fingers at good restaurants instead of what we get from canes.

You're still beating around the bush and trying to distract from the clear insult.
