If the food was the best I've ever eaten but the waitress told me to stuff it in my ear, I would like to be able to tip just the cook.
tipping gone wrong

why I'm not allowed in the kitchen [jaksplat, Jul 03 2008]

It would probably be best to speak to the manager about that and make sure the chef gets due praise (and enter a complaint about the waitress while you're at it.) |
|
| |
baked where I work. but I assume you're not talking about sushi bars. |
|
| |
You can usually tell the head waiter that so
much of the tip is for the waiters, so much
for the sommelier, for the chef, etc, if you
want to specify. But [+] for the thought. |
|
| |
just go back to the kitchen and ask to speak to the chef. stick the money in their pocket, that's sure to make his or her day[+]. |
|
| |
The chef could wear garters like people in other professions, so you could stick the money into them and they don't have to stop working. + |
|
| |
We don't go to THAT sort of restaraunt ... |
|
| |
Yeah, what jacksplat said. |
|
| |
But be sure he's not making a lot more
muns than you. |
|
| |
Chef tipping is more difficult than you might expect. Chefs have a larger agility/mass ratio and stay more alert than cows. |
|
| |
I think you can do this at Trader Vics. |
|
| |
You have a choice between tipping the bos'un or the captain. I tipped one or the other but wasn't exactly sure what it meant. |
|
| |
(Trader Vics has international presence so I hope this isn't too obscure a reference) |

|

In which case, you need a BorgCo remote control pneumatic stealth chef-tipping lift. Simply place on the kithchen floor, where it blends in with the floor tiles, and wait for the chef to stand on it. On press of the discreet radio remote control, and over they go ! Ony $4,799 plus tax and shipping. Void where prohibited. The value of chefs can go down as well as up. |

Psst, Gordon Ramsey 7-to-1 in the 3:30 at Newmarket. |

If you enter the kitchen area vewy vewy quietly, sometimes you can find a whole herd of chefs asleep standing up.... |

Did you have a pina colada? |
|
| |
Bun for this idea. Just for the thought. I would expect that a chef would be compensated well enough by his employer that a tip wasn't necessary, but it'd be nice to have some way of saying "thanks dude". |
|
| |
Isn't burbing after a meal seen as some sort of compliment in Italy? |
|
| |
Maybe if you just walked into the kitchen and burped really loud the chef would be pleased. You could start a whole new American trend! |
|
| |
If it isn't a huge chain, asking to speak to the manager about such a thing will definitely get the results you want. |
|

(I've worked in a restaurant.) |

I love you guys. I very rarely comment here anymore (vote though) and my ideas were almost universally rubbish-to-OK. But you guys crack me up. I honestly think this site has a group of people with some of the best sense of humour on the web. |
|
| |
(Which reminds me, what am I doing here?) |
|
| |
// what am I doing here? // |
|
| |
A good question. At the moment, the bar has gone completely silent, and everyone, including the pub dog, is staring at you with a slightly odd, glassy look. Pints are suspended halfway between table and lips; jaws are frozen in mid-munch. |
|
| |
Very soon now, one of the residents is going to say to you, "Yew ain't bee fraaam raaand here, bee yew ? We'm naat be keeen aaan straangers here. Yew best be movin' along, afore nightfall." |
|
| |
Essentially, you have two options. |
|
| |
Option A (the sensible one): Run. Run for your life. |
|
| |
Option B (less sensible, but makes for a better plotline) tough it out, go to the bar, order a drink, and ask about the room you booked. |
|
| |
If you chose Option B, please indicate your preference for internment or cremation, should any of your remains ever be found. |

Flambed, just for effect. With a cream and leek sauce. |
|
| |
Do make sure you tip the chef, with my compliments. |
|
| |
Presumably the chef is getting paid just as the waiting-staff are, so why tip at all? |
|
| |
Years ago I worked at a seafood restaurant and we were required to give a small part of our tips to the bartender and cooks. |
|
| |
[simonj]: the waitstaff in many restaurants - usually the better ones - live off the tips. The pay from the house is usually minimum wage or thereabouts. |
|
| |
How do you know which chef prepared your meal? Can you tip the steamed broccoli chef but not tip the other chef who overcooked your steak? |
|
| |
[Cedar Park] Sounds like they need to unionize. |
