This has nothing to do with the original concept/internet meme of "girl dinner", this is just salad and fries. Girl dinner is like... six olives and an entire sleeve of crackers with peanut butter directly out of the jar. Girl dinner is three slices of cheddar cheese, and an entire bag of baby carrots with hummus. If you have the emotional capacity to cook fries and mix a salad, that is not girl dinner, thats just dinner. This is capitalism using buzzwords without understanding what they're saying and I'm irrationally annoyed by this one in particular because I fucking love Girl Dinner.
That is all. Hope your next meal is delicious and fulfilling xoxo
I also love 'Girl Dinner', and I'm just a lazy guy.
I just tend to call it a mega-snack, and eat slightly different combos of snack foods than I guess the stereotypical (typical?) girl snack foods, but they still aim to hit the same spectrum of food groups and nutrients.
I try to... plan my 'mega-snacks' to hit a bit more specific food groups / kinds of nutrients than just... munching on whatever untill I'm full.
So, still lazy in that it doesn't require any actual 'cooking' or food prep, beyond just grabbing an assortment of things.
But no so lazy that basically 0 thought is put into it.
... Not sure if that qualifies as a meaningful difference in terms of 'girl dinner' vs 'mega snack'.
Also, I'm using the word 'lazy', but I've been seriously depressed and/or exhausted and overwhelmed before, 'lazy' isn't quite the right word...
... as it tends to imply there was even a possibility that you had the mental bandwidth to decide to not use, to actively be 'lazy', when that isn't always the case for someone who chronically having a really not good time.
So I'm a guy and that looks like a fine meal for a night of drinking to me.
The presentation in a comically oversized martini glass is perhaps a bit silly, but...
Yeah this just looks like a pre-game meal of champions to me, if you maybe swap out the croutons for something like breaded chicken nuggets or smaller breaded tenders.
"Girl Dinner" is just grazing random things. French fries and a Caesar Salad aren't usually served together, so them being in one giant Martini Glass as a meal makes it "girl dinner"
"girl dinner" is just a commonly used phrase to describe this type of randomly assorted snacks as a meal. At least among the millennial women in the area of the US I'm in. I agree with other people in the comments, this only kind of fits the internet slang definition.
Aka, "vegetarian gets dragged to a steakhouse."
Watch out, that looks like a Caesar salad, which has anchovies in the dressing.
Or just not add anchovies, they don't add that much to the taste anyway
Beg to differ, they add so much umami, you could probably do something with seaweed though
Sodium glutamate and aroma compositions are there to help!
My man!
Working in the food industry :)
I know, so you can make your own without them!
Most places are using bottled dressings shits just flavouring and thickeners.
I was shocked to realize that the cheesecake factory preps everything from scratch. They have a chef who just makes sauces and nothing else.
Seems like where they meet you'd get warm salad and cool fries.
Sometimes the rules have to be broken at the right time to create art
"The fries are cold and the salad is hot! How is that even possible?"
Now THIS is pod racing 😎
Slightly wet fried with an odd taste of anchovies and oil.
my one concern is that I wouldn't want a salad dressing touching my fries. especially since I tend to prefer a light vinagrette.
I wonder if such a sauce exists that could function as both salad dressing and fry sauce. probably something starting with a thousand island base?
Ranch.
Blue cheese, too.
Am I wrong in saying ranch is the Swiss army knife of sauces?
It's pretty versatile.
Caesar dressing would be a delight for fries. Really any creamy dressing
Honestly a balsamic vinegarette on some thick fries is pretty fucking great.

Thanks cokeslutgarbage!
Thank you, this makes so much more sense.

Yeah, you just keep eating various snacks until you aren't hungry anymore.
Hrm.

I’m a girl, and personally I’d replace fries with wings, but then it becomes normal dinner. Life is hard.
No no no, if it's still in the same glass it should still be valid
I love this logic. Wings it is.
Olay but what about half wings and half fries?
Whatever gets you going, I don’t kink shame.
Does wanting this mean I'm a girl
No it means you're a cultured lady
I can't tell if those are croutons or chicken nuggets
Yes.
People assign gender characteristics to the stupidest shit. lmao Like food items and their containers...
Romance languages have awkwardly left the chat
I gotta tell my wife that I'm a girl.
(͠≖ ͜ʖ͠≖)
Can I get shawarma poutine in a fancy glass as my girl dinner?
Just Dönerteller with less stuff
This is how you get cold sad soggy fries.
As a girl, yeah i want that dinner

Okay so make these zucchini fries and I am capital P there
Ok, let me explain….
That's not how you do cheese fries.
Those fries look underdone.
Carbs and lettuce?
What about this, specifically, makes it for 'girls'?

That didn't help.

I want to eat that I don't care what they call it.
In Pittsburgh odds are fries would come on the salad with every dinner. Strange tradition, but I don't mind it.
Non.
I suppose that word "girl" refers here to the size of a portion mostly, since this would be a great dinner for many people regardless of their gender.
Maybe in America. I'm a large man, and I reckon I'd struggle to get through that. It's not a small serving.
I'd grow my hair long, stuff my shirt, and tuck my dick if that's what it took to order this dinner
