  • David Brooks made the comment in a piece titled, How We Are Ruining America
  • The 55-year-old writer was trying to discuss informal social barriers in society
  • 'Recently I took a friend with only a high school degree to lunch. Insensitively, I led her into a gourmet sandwich shop,' he wrote, kicking off the awkward story
  • He recounted how his friend was seeming put-off by item names on the menu
  • 'I quickly asked her if she wanted to go somewhere else and she anxiously nodded yes and we ate Mexican,' he wrote, wrapping up the strange anecdote

A New York Times columnist has been mocked after he described taking a friend with 'only a high school degree' to a Mexican restaurant after she was 'anxious' about his first choice, a gourmet eatery, because of the words on the menu.

David Brooks, 55, was made fun of for his column published on Tuesday titled, 'How We Are Ruining America'.

In his piece, Brooks used his restaurant story as an example of the informal social barrier that directs people away from opportunities enjoyed by upper-middle-class culture.

'Recently I took a friend with only a high school degree to lunch. Insensitively, I led her into a gourmet sandwich shop,' the piece read.

'Suddenly I saw her face freeze up as she was confronted with sandwiches named "Padrino" and "Pomodoro" and ingredients like soppressata, capicollo and a striata baguette.

'I quickly asked her if she wanted to go somewhere else and she anxiously nodded yes and we ate Mexican.'

The column made Brooks a trending topic on Twitter, with some users mocking the story as condescending.

'This is an utterly insane graf from david brooks's latest column,' Max Read wrote, referencing the above paragraph.

Brooks was mocked on social media throughout the day on Tuesday for the bizarre column

'For any woman who has ever felt overwhelmed or scared by a sandwich menu, david brooks is here for you sweetie. He'll help,' writer Eve Peyser tweeted.

'Me: *takes friend to sandwich shop* Friend: *not sure what to order* Me: Ah, you're too stupid for sandwiches, we'll go somewhere else,' another person said.

'Another great morning for me, David Brooks' friend. Time to dig into my pedestrian Mexican lunch and read his latest column...,' Luke O'Neill added.

Fellow Times columnist Ross Douthat also chimed in, tweeting that he too was intimidated by Italian menus, despite having an elite education.

Then by all means, do not waste your money by taking her to the opera or the ba ballet. She's obviously too stupid to understand the meanings and nuances of th the arias or appreciate the choreography and the movements of the dancers.
