Notes:
0. I would actually prefer "Bon appétit!" even when speaking English; "Enjoy you meal!" sounds like something a server would say.
6. Literal equivalent of the English; not in general use.
7. Ditto; see below for a generous list of alternatives.
9. Literally "Eat slowly!"

Haven't seen. Of course there's the pieces of flair thing in Office Space.

I think I'm also getting over finding those restaurants offputting. Instead of uncomfortable I'm now just irritated but entertained to be witnessing modern-day kitsch.

Talk about the most overlaboured gag ever. It's like Judge knew one silly thing about TGIF and that was it.

You still have to confess that it was enough to burn itself into the contemporary American collective unconscious. Although quite a few things that are horrible are there anyway. But I think it at least struck a chord with the widespread deployment of fake enthusiasm.
