How waiters judge you at restaurants

February 23, 2012 By: bozobouffe Category: Uncategorized

You may receive better service if you appear to be in a bad mood.

Every time you sit down at a restaurant you’re being sized up. It’s called “reading a table” and wait staff at fine dining and chain restaurants alike are trained in the technique, according to the The Wall Street Journal.

Beyond flair, and memorizing specials, a good waiter can anticipate the needs of a customer at a glance. At chain restaurants around the country that’s what they’re being trained to do. Servers at Denny’s, T.G.I Fridays, and Romano’s Macaroni Grill are now taught to pay closer attention to the subtle gestures and understated remarks of their customers. The goal for servers is twofold: give the customer a better dining experience by predicting their needs, and ultimately get a bigger tip.

Inside Gerard Butler’s bachelor pad kitchen

January 30, 2012 By: bozobouffe Category: Uncategorized

The actor describes his medieval space in New York as “bohemian old-world rustic château.”

Everyone ends up in the kitchen, they say. Invite a few or 100 friends over and more often than not — no matter what you’ve done to make other areas of your home more inviting — that room full of food and appliances is the one where people want to be.

The March issue of Architectural Digest gives readers a peek inside a few of these impressive kitchens, including those belonging to Sting, Ellen DeGeneres, Gerard Butler, Elton John, and Diane Keaton.

January 27, 2012 By: bozobouffe Category: Uncategorized

A girl tells doctors she’s lived almost entirely off the McDonald’s chicken meal since she was 2.

When the kids are wailing, the boss wasn’t happy with your presentation, and the kitchen is anything but pristine, what mom hasn’t thrown up her hands and given in to demands for chicken nuggets? Like, three times a week?

Maybe Mom should tell the kids: Be careful what you wish for.

This week 17-year-old British factory worker Stacey Irvine was rushed to the hospital when she collapsed, struggling to breathe. During the exam, doctors were stunned to learn that Ms. Irvine had never in her life eaten fruit or vegetables; instead she had eaten almost nothing but fast-food chicken nuggets since she was two years old.
