The Table Manners Coach edition by Angela Marie Franco Politics Social Sciences eBooks Reviews
The Table Matters Coach book was a great read. It brought me back to my early teens when I would go to my aunt's house in Pennsylvania. Etiquette was most important at the dinner table. The Table Manners Coach is for all ages, and very easy reading. It should be introduced into every home and added to the school's curriculum. Angela Franco's book is not about table manners only it is about etiquette in everyday life.
I purchased this book to answer some of the finer details about dining etiquette. Most of the reviews suggested the book is comprehensive and provides some great rules of thumb. I suppose that's true, if you don't know that you shouldn't pick your nose or pass gas at the dinner table. There is a ton of information presented which seems to be basic common sense...don't tell crude or vulgar jokes in mixed company, elbows off the table, don't spit disgusting-tasting food back onto the plate...especially if you're a guest in someone's home, etc.
The topic of children and table manners was discussed at length, in multiple sections. Rough guess, at least half the book covers this topic. Unfortunately, I don't have children and am not about to try to educate the parents at the next table with my newly acquired knowledge on how they can train their ankle biters, which they *insist* upon bringing to a fine-dining restaurant. Yet, this one (crucial!) point was never expressed if your children are ill-behaved little heathens (read under the age of 21), don't take them to a high-end establishment...stick to the Sizzler or Chuck-a-Rama. Other people may be there to have a nice, enjoyable experience and the existence of your whiny, crying, finicky little brat is not conducive to said experience.
Overall, there's very little information regarding the finer points which, I would assume, elude most people dealing with a sommelier, the proper way to obtain a piece of bread when the restaurant only cuts the pieces down to the hard bottom crust, and when it's proper to order an alcoholic beverage during a business meeting.
I had always pictured myself as being cognizant of at least basic manners, but it seems my mother deserves a bunch of credit for raising her son with much more more table courtesy than the Average Joe. Thanks, Mom!
Ms. Franco has written an easy-to-use book about how to not only handle dining situations, but also the social situations they are part of. It's an excellent book of sound information for both children, young adults and adults who may be intimidated by formal dining or how to handle dining situations that are part of work or a big date. She also emphasizes that these behaviors can be natural and comfortable in everyday situations. Excellent for younger people, those entering the workforce or those who come to the US from other cultures.
During my 35+ years in office management, I was always amazed at the younger executives' lack of table manners at business dinner meetings. Etiquette was an endangered social standard for decades. However, someone finally wrote a book that can educate everyone on what to do at a dinner meeting, conference or a job interview in a restaurant setting. This book sets the bar and should be part of a business school's curriculum.
Table manners are for maiden aunts, Southern gentlemen, and European aristocracy, right?
Wrong. In my first job interviews out of college, the callbacks always involved lunch at a fancy restaurant. It was four or five of us, multiple courses, and cocktails. (Did people ever really have three cocktails at lunch on workdays?)
Needless to say, my table manners were at least part of the screening process; an implicit, but important part. Knowing that the napkin went across my lap rather than tucked into my collar, that this fork was for the salad and that one for the main course, and that no one eats until everyone is served, made a difference.
But, I worry about this next generation. Fed too often on "Lunchables" and "Happy Meals" in front of the television or computer, with nary a clue about keeping elbows off tables and used utensils on the plate. How will they manage in those interview lunches? Or when they're treating prospective or important clients for that matter?
Which is where "The Table Manners Coach" comes in. Angela Marie Franco knows her way around a salt shaker and, with clarity born of years of fieldwork, explains the hows and whys of dining as human beings. She accomplishes this in a casual rather than formal voice, managing an intimacy where Emily Post decidedly does not.
Until they make this a required text for a class, this book will make an excellent gift for the college, or even high school, graduate; one whose value will endure long after the gown and mortarboard have been returned.
Any parent who has taken their children to a restaurant will appreciate Ms. Franco's instructions regarding table behavior in public. She makes clear the difference between the ways one eats at home as compared to when one is dining out. Proper and respectful interaction with waiters and waitresses is described in detail. Her passage (pun intended... you'll see) on how to handle unexpected but inevitable attacks of "gas" in public offers helpful advice on a delicate problem that is both frank and amusing.
Ms. Franco goes beyond simply instructing, including tips on how best to train children to proper table manners.
"Approach good manners as a game," she writes. "One night a week, try to have a somewhat more formal dinner. Have everyone dress up, serve a special meal and expect more formal manners. That will help improve your children's social graces."
I'm also very appreciative of the book's simple illustrations of the proper arrangement for a place setting. For some reason my sons have never gotten it right, always laying them out the exact same wrong way fork on the right instead of the left, knife on the left etc. (That's right, my kids are dishlexic.)
I'm hopeful that after reading "The Table Manners Coach" my kids, your kids and everyone else - supplemented, perhaps with one of the hands-on, workshops Ms. Franco conducts in schools - will finally start placing sharp implements in their proper positions and using them appropriately for the convenience, comfort, and safety of all. At least they will no longer have not knowing as an excuse.
You don't have to be a child to learn simple table manners...This handbook makes a great gift idea,
after you purchase one for yourself...let's bring good manners back to our tables...The Table Manners Coach
