Over 10? No Ketchup for You, Restaurant Says

Patrons at a Florida resident who prefer their fries swimming in ketchup are in for shock.

The motto at the Mad Fresh Bistro in Fort Myers is “No Ketsup for You,” unless you happen to be 10 or under.

“We know, we know,” the eatery’s website explains. “People love their ketsup. But honestly, be ready. If you’re over 10 years old, ketsup will NOT be served.”

The eatery also says salt doesn’t make an appearance at its tables either. Instead, it asks diners to “trust the chef, and not have preconceived notions of what your dish is going to need.”

With salads, flatbreads and burgers on the menu, the Mad Fresh Bistro adds a gourmet touch to these dishes. The Parisian burger, for example, features bacon, brie, caramelized onions and a tarragon sauce. The fries aren’t ordinary either. They’re truffle fries with a tarragon aioli, according to the menu.

Chef owner Xavier Duclos explained his strict no-ketchup stand to WFLA by saying all his burgers come with sauce already.

“There’s no point in adding a sweet sauce on top of that,” he told the station.

The Mad Fresh Bistro is located at 12995 Cleveland Ave. in Fort Myers.
