Worked as a duty manager in a pub/restaurant for years. One night one of my FOH guys puts
through a scotch fillet steak with a note for it to be cut into bite sized pieces. Chefs called me into the
kitchen to query it, start laughing and saying they're not going to cut it up. I head out to the floor to
check with FOH as to why it needs to be cut up. Turns out the guy is an amputee from the shoulder
down, only has one hand and is dining along. He cannot physically cut up his steak. Go back and
explain to the chef's who in turn look very sheepish and cut up his steak.

And I’m glad it was handled back in the kitchen rather than someone coming out to the dining room
and making a scene about it. Drawing attention to the guest, cuz they prolly just want to eat and
have a normal experience.

That’s accurate. I worked for a very small family restaurant. Nice place delicious food. The cook was
the owner and my boss. She was a five foot nothing ball of angry Italian. We had some guest try to
weasel their way out of paying. Lied about the host not telling them specials, server being terrible,
the food being bad, whole nine yards. Well, my boss didn’t take kindly to that. This restaurant has a
banquet hall kinda behind on the other side of the bar. She brought the guests back there. It made
no difference we could hear her screaming at them. She tore up their check and told them to never
step foot in her restaurant again. Those people were not prepared by the looks on their faces when
they left.

One of my favourite local (fancy) restaurants has a bar overlooking the kitchen with 4 seats you can
book for a 7 course tasting menu which is served by the chef who explains what he's serving and the
decisions he made planning it, where he sources the food. You can also pay extra for matched
wines which get the same treatment, and once they did a matched cider event.
It's awesome, looking forward to going again post pandemic.

I worked at an Italian pizzeria that doesn’t cut their pizza. They never cut the pizza, like NO pizza
cutter at all and would cut the pizza for you in front of you with a fork and knife to kinda shame the
guest for their incompetence. This one bar guest was a one armed amputee so it was a nice
awkward moment. It was part of the mystique of the place so I understood, but it did bring up the
issue and eventually with new owners had to start asking people when ordering if they want it cut or
not.
Edit: They are Italian style pizzas. Wood fire oven, 12-13in pie, cut with fork and knife

had been in a really bad accident and their jaw was wired shut. I felt bad for the guy but blended it
well. Even adding broth to make it easier to drink with a straw. He came back a few times before he

It was at a Mexican chain restaurant that’s named after a type of car.

It was several different things over the different visits. I eventually switched to blending up items like
whatever meat he felt like with some of the tortilla soup, rice, beans, etc. so I kind of ended up
making him a hearty but blended Mexican soup. Had to be careful not to make it too hot
(temperature wise) so he wouldn’t burn himself. Hot liquid and straws are not a good mix.

I’ve worked in places where some of the residents had a strictly purée (pudding-like texture) diet,
and we would totally blend up everything everyone else was eating, while keeping each different
portion separated so that it wasn’t just one large conglomerate of foodstuffs. They’d have a burger,
green beans, fries, and a dessert… just all of them pulverized individually. I always sampled a bite to
make sure they tasted good before giving it to them, and they were all usually pretty tasty.

As a long term restaurant worker and manager, the response from the kitchen was fair, and the
reason he asked for the accomodation is also fair, so they accommodated him. I'd say that's 10/10,
and if the cooks.felt sheepish it means they're probably pretty well behaved for cooks, as we are
known to be a rather rough bunch.

I used to work at a dinner theatre with a set menu so we took allergy requests at time of booking so
the kitchen could make sure there was a safe option. I would take them with me to the manager
meeting to talk them over with the chef and I would just groan and know he was going to lose his
mind when I’d read some, like I’m allergic to coke and not Pepsi, I’m allergic to chicken legs but not
breast, I’m vegan and I always get a fruit cup for dessert what about a nice vegan apple pie (I nearly
killed the person who actually wrote that down, she added “just throwing out out there” and the
kitchen would call down whenever she was working and ask if she could get them tickets to the
movie theatre a few blocks away or if they could book a reservation for a different venue and go
JUST THROWING IT OUT THERE. You asked for it, Denise)

I'd lose my complete shit. You're not allergic to Coke, or legs, you don't like them. That's fine, and I

One of my old roommates is allergic to most colas because of something in the caramel colouring.
There's one particular organic cola that he can drink.
TL/dr: I can verify it's a life-threatening allergy. We lived together at the time, he almost died and was
in hospital for a week. __
Before anyone asks, yes, it's a true allergy. He drank RC Cola every day, had since he was a kid,
and suddenly developed swelling and hives. He went through a whole battery of tests and verified it.
Started treating it, having the occasional RC and being okay, but then one day...not okay.
He was incredibly lucky to have had a job at the hospital, working as an orderly. He was patched up
and out of his bed in this same hospital about a week later, sufficiently chastened to avoid caramel
colouring. This was the 70s, they didn't do things by half back then! ♡ Granny

That sounds ridiculous, I feel for those poor employee who have to deal with that stuff. On the other
hand, my bf nearly died once because his allergy wasn't taken seriously, although that one was a
reasonable request. He's allergic to many kinds of nuts, so once eating at a restaurant he asked for
nut-free food. They promised him it would be... It wasn't. He choked in his sleep that night and only
survived because his brother was there to wake him up... I guess it is better to take those kinds of
allergies very seriously, but I hate it that some people would abuse that. It makes it so much harder
for people with genuine allergies to be taken seriously...

My chef husband will pitch such a fit if I ask for any special requests on food he's cooking. Is it just a
requirement to complain? Asking 'hey please don't throw onions in mine" seems like such an easy
and reasonable request. He will accommodate any request I make, even unreasonable ones. But he

back in the 70s, we had a customer that had been injured in WWII. He had a metal plate, but the
damage inside the brainpan made cutting his food difficult for him. I'd seen him around, poured
coffee for him, but I'd never waited on him. One time, working day shift, I got him at the counter. One
of the regular day waitresses told me to go ahead and cut up his food for him. I'd already heard his
story and knew him well enough that I took care of it without any problem.
I think most restaurants, even before the ADA was passed, would do this.

At my favorite Mexican place, there are some burritos so big that you can't possibly pick them up to
eat them. I have no problem eating those using a fork, especially since they have cheese sauce
and/or salsa on the outside.
What I want to know is how Chipotle can have so many ingredients in their burritos, yet they still
taste like NOTHING.
