I like to narrow it down to 2 choices and ask which they prefer

It’s like the first time in any restaurant or food place where you’re not familiar with the food:
Ask the server what they recommend.

They always recommend something that’s quick and easy to make and makes the restaurant more money, there’s no way for a server to know what you would like, do your own research in advance before ordering somewhere it takes 10 Mins at most

This is a wild take. Genuinely worried about how you are viewing the folks you interact with.
I spent a fair amount of time working in the food industry. It is way easier to just say what you legitimately would recommend rather then come up with a bizzare lie.

The vast majority of the time I’ve every asked any worker what is popular or recommended at their restaurant I either get a confused or annoyed look and some generic recommendation, which makes sense most of these positions are exhausting and pay shit, having to decide recommendations for some customer is extra work they don’t need
