In the world of restaurant appetizers, some dishes are classics. However, not all classics are created equal. One example is the shrimp cocktail, an elegant starter that sometimes comes with a hefty price tag. This old-school appetizer is usually not worth the money, mainly when the same quality can be achieved at home for a fraction of the cost. The price of shrimp at a restaurant can be two to three times higher than what you'd pay at a grocery store.

IHOP has long been a go-to destination for indulgent breakfast classics (lunch and dinner, too), but one lesser-known detail about their fluffy French toast sets it apart. It is made with challah bread. While French toast often relies on thick slices of typical white or brioche bread, IHOP's choice of challah adds a twist that elevates the comfort dish in both flavor and texture. Challah is a traditional Jewish bread known for its rich, slightly sweet flavor and beautifully braided appearance.

Bottle-conditioned beer is a brewing technique that adds complexity to the beer-drinking experience. Unlike most beers, which are carbonated before packaging, bottle-conditioned beers go through a second fermentation process right inside the bottle to enhance the beer's flavor and aroma and to create carbonation. Typically, these beers have finer bubbles, denser foam, and a smoother mouthfeel with every sip. The process starts when brewers introduce a small amount of yeast and sugar to the beer.
