Morning Open Thread: Restaurant Stories [1]

['Greg Dworkin', 'Thom Hartmann']

Date: 2026-09-16  

Many of us have worked in restaurants, if only during high school and/or college. Mine was a hotel restaurant, not fast food; and then when I retired, I was working in a family-owned pizza place. Anyway, just for fun, here are some restaurant stories by Alanna Finewoman.

These are all quite short, by the way. (My favorite character is Chef.)

Chef vs. Al Dente Lady

“Look, before you start yelling, I want you to keep in mind that you still have one perfectly good shoe, while Sam here and I have a total of eight feet between us, and exactly zero shoes. So, I think maybe you should stop and honestly ask yourself who the real victims are here.” — Uncle Duke (@uncleduke1969.bsky.social) 2026-09-13T19:17:30.742Z

Have a delightful day!
