He obviously doesn't know anything about the business side of operating a restaurant otherwise he would have realized that when someone asks "what's good', it's the perfect opportunity for the server to sell the evening's special. D'uh. And as for the whining about the local who had never been curious enough? Give me a break. That guy needs to ask himself what is wrong with his marketing that he can't entice someone local to try his place out. - GAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3943105503307093774.post-17965568407242553232010-10-10T14:44:04.770-04:002010-10-10T14:44:04.770-04:00oh, OBNOXIOUS to the nth degree! don't know a...oh, OBNOXIOUS to the nth degree! don't know all of this cretin's restaurant don'ts but here are mine:<br /><br />DON'T<br />1. burp out loud<br />2 talk with your mouth full<br />3. be mean to the server if the <br /> chef prepares a bad meal<br />4. complain about the food <br /> then eat it all and leave a<br /> sucky tip<br />5. get drunk and act stupid<br /><br />loved this post..........cjcj Schlottmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18217936774632262633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3943105503307093774.post-19546721081061943362010-10-10T02:58:18.611-04:002010-10-10T02:58:18.611-04:00Hi There!

If I'm in a new...obnoxious! totally obnoxious!! If I'm in a new restaurant, I'll ask the waitress/waiter what they like to eat if I'm having trouble figuring out what I want to order. Funny about the condiments for that very reason you mentioned with your son's allergies; so I guess according to this restaurant owner it is okay to have an allergic reaction rather than ask for them to hold the condiments or have them on the side, wow! I'm with you; I don't think I would be interesting in eating at any of his establishments<br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3943105503307093774.post-6061285255640217182010-10-08T12:10:18.128-04:002010-10-08T12:10:18.128-04:00I say he is BEYOND obnoxious and I am shocked that...I say he is BEYOND obnoxious and I am shocked that he is even still in business!<br /><br />Often I will ask a waiter to help me choose between a dish or two and I see nothing wrong with that.<br /><br />Also since I am "weight challenged" lol I often ask for condiments on the side!<br /><br />You are a Brooklyn girl?

Wanting to know his speciality dish and try it.<br /><br />As for condiments on the side, everyone has different tastes and a customer may be reluctant to go for a certain dish due to one ingredient. I too agree about allergies.<br />Surely, if food is prepared freshly and to order a tweak in the preparation should not be too much to ask to please a customer. <br />(not to be taken too far ..e.g. <br />I have a BLT without the lettuce, and swap the bacon for sausage LOL)<br /><br />carolCarol https://www.blogger.com/profile/14000600761469156146noreply@blogger.com
