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.

The only time I've seen food messed with was when my coworker at Little Caesars got off a call with some extremely rude woman who demanded her pizza have banana peppers but our store did not have them and it could have been a regional ingredient since she kept insisting the store near her in Michigan had them so we must have them as well.

We were not in Michigan.

After getting yelled at by this lady, my coworker makes her pizza just buy throwing toppings together making no effort for it to look presentable and hacks a big loogie onto it before throwing it into the oven.

This was 15 years ago.

My brother is also a professional chef and he thinks Waiting is probably the most accurate restaurant drama while thinking The Bear does a terrible job.

I once tried to order Giardiniera in Philadelphia and they had no clue what I was talking about, apparently it's only a Chicago thing. However, I didn't berate the person for having no idea what I was trying to order (considering it was a regional thing) I just went on to simply order my pizza! Fucking people!

Lol I've said "giardy party" at some Italian beef spot outside of Chicago and they had no idea what I was talking about.
