The remaining twenty percent, however, are socially maladjusted psychopaths. WAITER RANT offers the server’s unique point of view, replete with tales of customer stupidity, arrogant misbehavior, and unseen bits of human grace transpiring in the most unlikely places. Through outrageous stories, The Waiter reveals the secrets to getting good service, proper tipping etiquette, and how to keep him from spitting in your food. The Waiter also shares his ongoing struggle, at age thirty-eight, to figure out if he can finally leave the first job at which he’s really thrived. "The other shoe finally drops. The front-of-the-house version of Kitchen Confidential; a painfully funny, excruciatingly true-life account of the waiter’s life. As useful as it is entertaining. You will never look at your waiter the same way again–and will never tip less than 20%." --Anthony Bourdain, author of Kitchen Confidential "I really enjoyed WAITER RANT. The book is engaging and funny, a story told from my polar opposite perspective. I will now do my best to act better as a Chef -- and I dare say, I’ll never be rude to a waiter again, as long as I live."--John DeLucie, Chef of The Waverly Inn Average Rating:
 Rating: - One funny book...This book caught my eye on the new book shelf at my local library and I heard good things about it from Amazon.com. It took several months of waiting to finally borrow it but the wait was worth it! This is one of the most amusing and educational book about what really happens in a resturant. I work in a grocery store so the situations in both apply, people can be mean or nice. A real eye opener for anyone not aware of what really goes on behind the scenes! Rating:  - Good Book, A Must ReadI'll make this short and sweet. If you've ever worked in the food industry you must read this book. Very well written. I love it. Rating:  - Interesting View Into Waiter's WorldI enjoyed Waiter Rant, the stories and anecdotes were amusing and made for a fine afternoon's reading. The book provides an interesting peek into the lives of people whose job it is to be invisible until needed, which provides them with plenty of opportunities to see things (and write about) other people do. As a drawback, I thought this book, or rather, the writing, lacked a sharpness of wit to really bring the stories to life. I was entertained certainly. But in holding this particular ...

They have earned it!!This is a great book that tells you a whole lot about an occupation that most of us frequently encounter and often take for granted. I have never been a waiter (I will use this to cover both men and women if I may), but when I think about what has made many dining experiences (at almost any type of restaurant) pleasant or not, it often comes down to how good the waiter's service has been. This book gives the insight of a very articulate writer (who I understand does a lot of blogging) ... Read More Rating:  - Too much uninteresting biography, not enough 'waiter rant'This book would make a great short story. I can't imagine being very interested in his philosophical discussions with himself. The running of the restaurants, the interplay among front and back of the house is fun to read, but apparently he (and presumably his editor if there was one) either didn't have enough similar material, or he assumed we wanted to know about his inner turmoil. The book felt disjointed to me, but I did finish it. I wouldn't recommend it, however. (I have worked in restaurants, ... Read More
