We forgot all about the poor waiter!!

Friday, January 18, 2008

It seems that there has been a huge explosion in the "foodie culture" recently and nothing encompasses that more than the amount of food blogs popping up all over the world, at the last estimate there are in excess of 10,000! People are becoming more and more educated and eating out in the fantastic array of restaurants now available to us!

What a lot of people forget is that eating out is not just about the food but the whole package from the second you walk into the establishment! Service is just as vital as the meal itself, infact I've lost count of the amount of amazing meals ruined by poor service. On the flip side good service (which in my opinion is getting the bread there on time and keeping the booze flowing)can turn an average meal into a fondly remembered evening! The job of the waiter can be a thankless one which I think is similar to a referee in a sports match...they should not be noticed but just go about their job with effeciency and always there when you need them! Throw in a good personality, some knowledge and a corkscrew and you should have the perfect mix!


Now i want to point you in the direction of a blog that will give you a better insight into the brain of a waiter and what good service entails! This is the first "service blog" i have come accross, all we need now is a dishwasher or kitchen porter to start writing a blog and we'd have the whole dining experience covered! Enjoy the blog, it's a great read....

Cheers man......as for a blog by a dishwasher, do you really want that? Think of all the things they see and know.....I mean KP's are weird at the best of times but imagine one unleashed and given free reign......the mind boggles.....
