Waiter Rant: Thanks for the Tip–Confessions of a Cynical Waiter

Eating out is fun for us, the customer.

We get some (usually) good food, brought to us by (usually) attentive waitstaff.

Sometimes, everything lives up to our expectations; sometimes it doesn’t. That’s the risk we take when we decide to put our food preparation into someone else’s hands rather than doing it ourselves.

But there is a flip-side to everything. Which is why Web Watch readers should pay attention to these TOP TEN THINGS YOU SHOULDN’T DO WHILE DINING OUT, as compiled by Jessica, a former food-service employee and inspired by stories she’s read on WAITER RANT, a blog of restaurant horror stories.

Anne Geddes Baby Costumes

It’s just another thing that parents do to embarass their kids: dressing up their kids in funny costumes and taking pictures of ’em.

Pictures that can be used for high school yearbooks, engagement party photo displays, bar mitzvah autograph boards — you know, anything that can be blown up to poster-size and put on display for the world to see.

Piazzas and Pizzas: Adventures of the Clean Plate Club in Italy

You remember how your parents always used to encourage you to eat all the food on your plate at each meal?

“Eat your food, you want to be a member of the Clean Plate Club!”
“Here comes the airplane – open up the airplane hanger and let it in…”
“If you don’t eat your meat, you can’t have any pudding. How can you have any pudding if you don’t eat your meat?”

And the ever-popular, “there are starving children in China/Africa/Arizona who don’t have any food, so you better eat”.

Well, it ends up that our parents were lying to us.

NOMA: Time and Place in Nordic Cuisine
NOMA: A Time and Place in Nordic Cuisine
(a look at the World’s Best Restaurant)

If you, like Web Watch, like to travel to the Best Places in the World, then you have most definitely heard of Denmark’s Noma, a 12-seat restaurant just outside Copenhagen.

Of course you’ve heard of Noma – it’s only been named the BEST RESTAURANT IN THE WORLD for 2011. Still doesn’t ring a bell? Does it help if it also earned the Best Restaurant title in 2010 also?

Yeah, now you know what we’re talking about.

So while RESTAURANT magazine can’t go and visit every single restaurant in the world, they do have a pretty good handle on who the top chefs are and what makes them tick. Sure, the majority of these top places are located in Europe, but that shouldn’t stop you from trying to make your way to any of these fine establishments for a gourmet meal that you’ll never forget.

Everything Tastes Better with Bacon: 70 Fabulous Recipes for Every Meal of the Day

You’ll save some money, appreciate what bacon that is unadulterated by chemicals is like, and support the local economy – all at the same time.

So with that, here are at least SEVEN BACON-INFUSED PRODUCTS THAT BACON LOVERS JUST HAVE TO TRY:

Chocolate Rubber Duckie

We all know people who say that they love chocolate. And when they say that they “love chocolate”, they mean that they REALLY love chocolate.

Some would go so far as to say that, if given the opportunity to do so, they would bathe in chocolate. When asked, they would take “death by chocolate” to its literal end.
