I am a big believer in ordering appetizers. They're a great way to start the meal, they also will slow you down like if you get an appetizer before your on tray, you're going to digest it a little and you won't be quite as ravenous when your on tray shows up. So my favourite appetizers, straight up protein.

Shrimp cocktail number one, chicken sate that's also a really good one. Green salads are good too but it if you find those boring stick with the shrimp cocktail or the chicken sate.
