sometimes i'm guilty of this

I need to be more decisive
And then sometimes I immediately regret my order and wished I ordered something else

LOL I do this. Perhaps I can give some insight as to why people do...
So basically, I love everything. I want to try everything. Problem is, I can't fit it all in, so I have to carefully evaluate which things I can let go of before I choose the thing I want mostest.
P.S - new girlfriend Walrus?

I had this problem when restaurants still existed. The waiter would come around to write down orders. Ill be looking at the menu sweating bullets repeatedly within seconds deciding and then rethinking and redeciding which one I'm going to tell them I want, its like an argument going on in my head. As my turn to speak comes closer my hearts beating out of my chest and 50% of the time i end up ordering the wrong thing and regretting it.

I can be the guy who opens the menu at a restaurant and picks something immediately, and be satisfied. However, I pretty much never do that. I deliberate.
But I NEVER flag down restaurant staff the second I have made a decision after taking a long time to choose. I've worked bar/waiting jobs for years and generally, the people who do this kind of suck.

I usually have something figured out by the time they get back.

I'm picky and always want to find out what's best on the menu, while also trying to figure out what's more or less popular on the menu so I don't get days old meat or fish (thanks for the tip Bourdain, may you RIP). But I generally chose something by the time the waiter comes back with our drinks.

How long is a good time to wait? When I go out with the fam everybody always takes ages to make a decision and we end up telling the waiter to give us a minute, but sometimes they take 20 and I feel like I gotta flag em' down.

God I miss that guy. There's been a bunch of shows that have tried to emulate his formula, but all of them just feel like weak copies (Somebody Feed Phil and Ugly Delicious on Netflix; the one with Gordon Ramsay).
And while Anthony explored politics, race and culture, he did it because of the places he went to -- not because of the food. It was relevant in that case. David Chang on Ugly Delicious is insufferable and wants to be this super woke and new Bourdain. Just focus on the food, man. Instead he/they turned an hour long episode about frigging steaks into a platform for toxic masculinity, the environment, and how rich white Republicans go to Capital Grille so don't go there 
If I wanted politics I'll go to MSNBC or Fox. Ugh. Everything is so political and woke these days. It's a shame because when Ugly Delicious does actually focus on the food, it's pretty good.
That said I did enjoy Chef's Table (again on Netflix). Good show for foodies. Each episode profiles and explores an individual chef -- the great and acclaimed chefs of today.

20 minutes is entirely too long to wait.

I do not do this at restaurants but whenever I go to a record store, book store or used DVD store, I check the entire inventory before I make any choices. Needless to say, people hate to accompany me on such excursions. It used to be a good way to punish my kids by making them tag along.
