Onion Soup
Place six ounces of butter in a large saucepan over the fire, and stir into it four large white onions cut up, not sliced. Stew this very slowly for one hour, stirring frequently to prevent its scorching. Add salt, pepper, cayenne, and about one quart of stock, and cook one hour longer. Then stir into the mixture one and a half cups of milk and simmer for a few minutes. Have ready a soup tureen. In it beat the yolks of four eggs with two tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese. Stir the hot soup into this, beating until it thickens a little. A slice of toasted French bread should be placed in each plate, and the soup poured over it.

There are times when a restaurant will automatically add a gratuity. Normally there is a sign at the door or a note on the bill about this. It is typically between 10 and 18% and normally the really high pre added tips are on parties of 6 or more.
Be sure to really look at the bill so that you do not mistakenly over tip. Shockingly many waiters will neglect to mention that a tip has already been included. Why am I telling you about this now?
1) Many people do not know about this tipping tactic.
2) I recently went to a Thai restaurant that “accidentally” charged us a 50% tip. My dining companion noticed this and asked me about it. He knew that a tip is sometimes included but never this much. So we asked the hostess about this and she took it off the bill, claiming that it was an accident. She didn’t seem shocked though or that apologetic.
My point is that you should be diligent when checking your check at the end of a meal. You don’t want to over tip, unless the service is amazing, and you sure do not want to reward the staff for making a huge mistake like that.
