EATiQuette's The Main Course on Dining Etiquette

More than 10,000 teens and adults are more confident in their dining skills after attending David Rothschild's EATiQuette presentations. Now you, too, can improve your manners using the materials taught in his entertaining and educational workshops.

Instead of memorizing a list of dining do's and don'ts Rothschild walks you through a typical fine dining situation from hors d'euvre party through sit-down meal, plus all of the appropriate etiquette involved - responding to the invitation through thanking your hosts.

This is no prissy, pinky-pointing guide to etiquette, but a user-friendly lesson geared toward contemporary dining.

Rothschild's unique perspective is a result of his decades in the restaurant industry and his belief that, since etiquette is always evolving, what was appropriate at one time may not be practical for today's lifestyle. (We continue to take some lumps on this from more traditional etiquette trainers!)

Questions and answers from our "Ask Mr. EATiQuette" newspaper column address the everyday dining dilemmas faced by real people.

The comic strip-style "infotoon" dining etiquette tips, created by Barbara Rothschild, take a lighter approach to good manners.
