re: Six Things Customers Do to Tick Off a Chef

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.
