Funny article from CNN

“I love how a restaurant is expected to acknowledge your birthday like it’s a national holiday or something. Who invented the rule that you get a free dessert on your birthday in a restaurant? I guess we have T.G.I.Friday’s and Bennigan’s to thank for exploiting servers as they, the servers, clap their hands and chant a birthday cheer.
You don’t get free pair of gloves or socks from Old Navy when you buy an outfit on your birthday. I actually will kid with our guests and let them know that on their birthday, 'unfortunately, our mariachi band is off this evening' - and, people believe me!”

That chef sounds like a total dick from the article on CNN.

Minor infractions IMO.
A few off the top of my head that pisses off a chef:
1) Alterations to the menu. Not necessarily 86ing things, but adding to dishes so as to create their own menu items.
2) Telling him how to cook his food. Beginning comments with "Hey, you know what you should do is"
3) Not knowing what Mid Rare really is because they've had it done wrong so many times that when they ask for it, what they really wanted was Medium, and yet expect the chef to alter the term as it is per textbook definitions to suit them.
4) Walking into the kitchen without the chef's permission.
5) Walking in with 15 or more people without a reservation 30 minutes before closing.
6) Waiters who can't pronounce the menu items, won't explain them because they don't know what makes them up, and have no desire to learn.
BONUS: Excuses
- Sorry I didn't get the pots in the sink Chef.
- Hey I know this plate looks like shite Chef, but I put it in the window anyway because I was really busy.

That was pretty funny. Over the top at times, but I think that was the point.
I'll be in Atlanta soon.. Might have to try his place out.
