Dream Job: Menu Description Writer

Studying for the bar makes me wonder why I ever chose this troublesome profession in the first place. There are so many hurdles--preserving that college GPA, the LSAT, 1L year, the MPRE, and now the CBE (I know, no one refers to it as the CBE, but I wanted to keep up with the acronyms).

A friend recently told me that his dream job would be to be the person who writes the menu descriptions at a fancy restaurant. Now, why didn't I do that instead??

Tonight's dinner would be: "Fresh summer cod with a delicate Asian flavor, lightly breaded, and broiled to perfection. Topped with cilantro and paired with a side of white rice."


Read: "Freshly thawed from the freezer, drenched in soy sauce, smothered in breadcrumbs and broiled until it looks like a fat fish stick. Cilantro is your vegetable for the evening and eat enough rice so you don't have to get up for a midnight snack."

I could totally do this job.
