As a dishwasher during a pandemic when ppl came in 10 mins before close I I can assure you that seen in waiting is NOT overplayed whatsoever. Wolfgang is a great chef but he’s a celebrity so of course he made pecan pie last min for jack nicholson. No one would be pissed to serve jack at 1am

seriously, my first job in high school was a dish washer in the 90s and when people came in right before close we would totally be pissed off! I had plans to meet my friends at 10:30pm, damnit!!

A. Most fine dining restaurants don't take random wake-ins, you'll have to book a reservation, unless you're a regular. B. Most regulars who frequent a fine dining restaurants are either celebrities or people with high social status, so neither the restauranteurs nor their staff is going to refuse a regular who walks in, even if it's a last minute walk-in.

As a former server, I would always make sure to know what items were easy for them to make once they shut down the line. I had 100% success rate being honest with customers and telling them that we close in a few minutes and that we have some, but not all, dishes available. Also, we'll be ordering everything at once, thank you. The usual customer reaction was gratitude; the vast majority of people are just hungry and are happy to eat something. And yes, Wolfgang is wrong in this case. Starting about 30 minutes ahead of time, the prayers for no more customers begin in earnest. Also, a good floor manager gets you shut down early on slow nights.

Wolf is confused about a few things but I’ll just mention this about the film “Burnt”. The reason why they showed the shoes was to show the experience and the ability to multitask and use all instruments and create a sense of urgency and fluidity. The whole scene was about how the entire kitchen works, not just the food.

Very entertaining…chuckled when he said the Waiting scene wasn’t accurate. I’m surprised he’s had no experience working in a non-fine dining atmosphere, because this is picture perfect accurate for any “working class” cook. It’s even underplayed…staff are known to “sabotage” a restaurant by trying to fool a customer into thinking a restaurant is closed (turning off lights or signs early, staff “hiding”) or strategically being out of important food near the end of the day. …furthermore, I would even suggest that late night menus exist purely so line cooks and dishwashers don’t mutiny.
