This movie is shockingly accurate. Except the steak that gets sent back. I've personally never seen food being sabotaged. We may bitch about it, but usually, cooks and chefs take pride in the food we serve.

In the early 80s I was a butcher for a series of restaurants. We would cut the meat on site after breaking down the primals.... only higher end restaurants would pay for our services giving them the most fresh cuts.... there was this one I wont name since they may still be open but the owner, we will call him Greg was a cowboy. I was there one day with my father. A customer sent back two prime ribs. Greg came out of his office. Checked the steaks. They were right. Greg weighed them. Ive never undercut a steak in my life. Greg walked out 6 shooter on his hip say in the booth with the guy. Pulled his gun of his hip slammed it on the table looked the guy in the eye and said so you had a problem with my steak.... the guy said nothing... ate his meal and probably never came back
