i was DESTROYED
Davis
destroyed is correct. he makes seven courses. SEVEN. and the guy walks in and says "i'm not hungry" and the chef just. starts plating anyway
Marchetti
because it was never about hungry. the man could've eaten before he walked in the door. the chef knows that. the chef cooks anyway because it's the only way he's allowed to say it
Davis
the only way he's ALLOWED to say it Marchetti i have to put the phone down
Mueller
i have a structural problem with the dinner
Kowalski
here we go
Mueller
you do not plate seven courses simultaneously. you fire them. course by course, timed to the table. the book has all seven going out at once, which means six are cold by the time the man sits. no chef trained at the level described makes that error
Marchetti
he plated them all at once ON PURPOSE Mueller. because the man wasn't going to come. he made the whole thing knowing it would go cold. that's the POINT
Mueller
then the kitchen is emotionally coherent and operationally incompetent
Davis
"emotionally coherent and operationally incompetent" put it on the book cover
Lundy
do people actually do this
Thompson
do what
Lundy
the thing in chapter eight. where he just tells him. just says it
Berger
says what, that he has feelings? that's the inciting incident of the entire book Lundy
Lundy
i know what it is. i'm asking if people actually do it that way. just say it
Thompson
