The one time we ate there he had his waitstaff preemptively tell us that there would be no making changes or substitutions to his dishes. Mind you, we hadn't suggested that we were even contemplating ordering any dishes and asking for a change to them. That rubbed me the wrong way from the get, then when what we ordered came out looking like "upscale" hotel food from the 90s and lacking any semblance of flavor that just put me over the edge. Chef Duke needs to 1) get over himself, and 2) update and learn to impart flavor into his dishes.

So one half of what made him a "douche" is that you think he can't add flavor to his dishes?

My one meal at Giovanni's was laughably bad. This was 5-6 years ago, but everything was so baroque, form the flavors to the plating. Couple that with two tenors belting opera 8 feet away and it is a place that anyone can afford to miss.
