This is so, so wrong
When she said yes, he asked the more important question, would she attend a performance of the Black Watch, an international bagpipe and drum group, the next weekend at UT Tyler's Cowen Center.
Here is the full but totally non-interesting story.
On a less incorrect but still odd note, someone just built a column around this point:
There are some restaurant dishes that I order because they sound better than everything else on the menu, and there are some I order because they sound worse. My reasoning goes like this: If a chef dares to offer something as unappealing as, say, a raw kale salad, chances are it’s fantastic.

Or Googles his own name obsessively.
Before you delete the spam comment, do you know if that is the Chinese character for wine at the beginning of the comment? Knowing that might be useful someday.

Or not. There's a lot of unintuitive, probably ad hoc psychology at work in menus, with a too-high-priced top-of-the-line item (think Surf 'n' Turf for your middle-class place) that helps set the other items as "reasonably priced." Also, if something "healthy" sounds blatantly unappealing, you might peddle more of the sole drenched in butter, on a bed of mashed (Yukon) potatoes.
My personal experience: my favorite East (SF) Bay restaurant's dinners are frequently the best when they take something banal-sounding & apply their unique magic. Maybe lowered expectations, maybe surprises.
