Very good CD. Well worth the money spent. I was impressed enough to also buy a copy for my nephew, who is graduating from college soon, since he's going to be entering the business world and could use a quick refresher on appropriate etiquette.

As a mom of two young boys it's not often I get to practice proper restaurant etiquette so this CD was a great refresher before my husband and I treated ourselves to a nice dinner out! It provided some etiqutte tips I'd never learned before as well as a general refresher of all those little niceties we knew at one time but have perhaps since forgotten. Short enough to be used often, it consists of several "units" so it can be listened to in short segments or you can just refer to the one or ones you need at the moment.

It's nice to see a product like this out there. In addition to banking clients, we have used it with our employees too. We are really glad we got them. Along with being a great gift it has great value when we take employees to formalized events and dinners. I would highly recommend this CD series to any professional business organization.

Trying to remember all of the rules of dining etiquette can be difficult. This Food Scholar CD made it easy and fun. I also purchased the Food Scholar CD about wine. I notice how much more confident I feel when I'm in nicer restaurants, where knowing the proper etiquette is important. The CD is organized into chapters(tracks) that makes finding subjects for review easy.

The last book on CD my wife and I bought was terrible: mens' voices for female characters, etc. And what's the alternative on the radio? Pop music or Howard Stern? I spend twenty percent of my waking life in my car. I might as well spend it wisely. The Food Scholar is easy listening and presented in a way that makes the information easy to learn and remember.

I feel so much more confident at business dinners and even in social situations after listening to this CD. It has just the right mix of detailed information and basic rules of thumb. Well done!

I purchased this CD last month and have listened to it several times. These are great tapes for anyone who finds themselves dining with work superiors or clients - times when making your best impression is most important.
