When dining in a group, should you wait until everyone is served to eat? Or do you just dig in? What if you are with friends? What is the proper etiquette?
At Podcast Movement 2015, Samuel finds himself with a hungry group of podcasters seeking satisfaction at The Red Wasp restaurant in Fort Worth, Texas.
The dilemma starts when he asks a simple question. “Did you order?”
In this episode

- To EAT or NOT to EAT, yet.

References – Should you wait until everyone is served?
“Wait until all are served at your table before beginning to eat.”
“At a small table of only two to four people, wait until everyone else has been served before starting to eat. At a formal or business meal, you should either wait until everyone is served to start or begin when the host asks you to.”
“The simple and safe answer to this question is when others do…. The general guideline is to never eat alone, but to eat hot food while it is still hot.”
