Preposition

I have found such a sentence: "The restaurant features big burgers and French potatoes to the visitors.
It sounds wrong to me and seems that the verb "offers" or "serves" would fit in the context better. But what about "feature"? I am just wondering if it's possible to use this verb in this context? Maybe with a different preposition or in a different word order?
  

Top answer

You are right about offers/serves. _______________________________ You don't feature something to someone . Just say T he restaurant features big burgers and French potatoes.

Feature is a very common and natural verb for that context. However, "French potatoes" and "to the visitors" are not natural.

The restaurant features big burgers and French fried potatoes.
