Here is a fun article on some popular phrases used in describing items on restaurant menus. Things like "world famous" and "garden fresh" are certainly overused are good examples of "me too" marketing.

Instead of coming up with more interesting, creative, or honest descriptions for their items, they just take a trip to the well of clichés that can be found on any other restaurant menu.

Any business can fall into this trap, but it's important to distinguish your brand from everyone else. Dare to be different as they say.

Does anyone choose to visit a restaurant after seeing an ad stating that the food is "grilled to perfection" or that they serve "world famous" chicken?

Now tell me that you serve enough chicken every month to fill a football field or ship takeout across the country and I'm interested.
