Silly Waiter: Waiters are liars
http://sillywaiter.blogspot.com/2007/10/waiters-are-liars.html
The true stories of a Chicago waiter. Tuesday, October 9, 2007. I was waiting on my last table of the evening - a very low maintenance eleven top of twenty somethings. Everyone was happy, I was always a step ahead with my service and the meal was going well. As I cleared the empty dinner plates a request was made for the dessert tray. WHY? Why does the last table of the night always have dessert.and coffee.and after dinner drinks.and then more coffee.and perhaps another drink? You really crack me up.

Silly Waiter: September 2007

The true stories of a Chicago waiter. Thursday, September 27, 2007. Can I get steak instead of fries? Is based in animal fat? It is not okay, however, to begin drastically changing the menu because the exact dish you once cooked for yourself at home is not on it. Why can't we make you regular mashed potatoes instead of garlic mashed potatoes? Because they're not on the menu! Why can't we make you a breaded chicken breast with pasta? You personally know the chef and line cooks making your food? The card w...

The true stories of a Chicago waiter. Tuesday, November 6, 2007. Who cooks all those manly meats? She was gesturing to a pack of frantic line cooks sweating over the enormous grills, and drinking sprite from pitchers. "Oh no ma'm," I explained, "these men are the cooks. They prepare all the dishes but the chefs are the men in white coats, running the line from the other side." "Well, are any of these cooks Brazilian? Do you have any great Brazilian men to prepare the meat? I mean, seriously?

Silly Waiter: There's a reason you're a waiter
http://sillywaiter.blogspot.com/2007/10/theres-reason-youre-waiter.html
The true stories of a Chicago waiter. Wednesday, October 10, 2007. There's a reason you're a waiter. Actually yes, there is. It's so she can go to nursing school full time while still earning a full time salary working only eight days a week. It's best not to judge the help too quickly. The majority of my coworkers have bachelor's degrees and many possess masters degrees as well. I once had a coworker who was working toward her doctorate when she wasn't busy fetching your rolls and water. The assumption ...

Silly Waiter: I'll have the waiter with a side of creepy
http://sillywaiter.blogspot.com/2007/10/ill-have-waiter-with-side-of-creepy.html
The true stories of a Chicago waiter. Friday, October 19, 2007. I'll have the waiter with a side of creepy. One of the first things said to me at work tonight was, "Go check out 306, he's so cute." At another point in the evening I found myself asking a coworker, "Did you see blue shirt by the host stand? The comment card read, "Call us. Love to see you outside of work ;)" Again with that winky face! All in a day's work! I could go on forever about the sexual character of a restaurant so I'm going to cal...

The true stories of a Chicago waiter. Tuesday, November 13, 2007. It's all you buddy. It's like being the big fish in a small pond or being the best at a sport when all of the others don't know the rules. Is it really something to be proud of, being a good waiter? But that is something for an entirely different entry - one that I'll post when I'm feeling especially full of self confidence and a genuine joy for my job. There are myriad statements that trigger a Pavlovian response in the waiter. And becaus...

Silly Waiter: August 2007
http://sillywaiter.blogspot.com/2007_08_01_archive.html
The true stories of a Chicago waiter. Wednesday, August 29, 2007. Heath Ledger is an excellent tipper. We had a brush with celebrity greatness tonight.or celebrity hotness at any rate. The next Batman movie is currently filming in Chicago and as such we have had a few stars in our midst. Making his second trip to the restaurant, Mr. Ledger had the ladies (and the gays) in quite a tizzy. Within minutes the word spread that, "Heath Ledger is sitting in 311! Did he hook it up?
