A Maryland restaurant is taking a “parent friendly” approach to the kids’ menu, the Daily Mail reports. Fager’s Island, a steak and seafood restaurant in Ocean City, has named its kids menu items after childish complaints. Instead of ordering, say, a grilled cheese, parents are encouraged to order based on their child’s response to the question “What do you want to eat?”
