This one speaks for itself. If you're making and/or eating chili here, don't add beans.

Steak, if cooked correctly, shouldn't need any add-ons. Steak sauce, BBQ sauce, anything like that should not be added to help with the flavor. (And while you're at it, BBQ should be able to stand on it's own without sauce as well.)

On the same note as #2: "well-done" is not acceptable. Whether you order a burger, steak, etc., stop at "medium-rare".

Contrary to popular belief, there are not always substitutions as good as the original. Mr. Pibb IS NOT as good as Dr Pepper; Cola IS NOT as good as Coca-cola; and, above all, no ice cream is ANYWHERE near as good as Blue Bell.

This is a somewhat big deal here. If you're getting good BBQ, pizza, whatever, don't feel bad or guilty about using your hands and getting them dirty. They wash, right?
