“A man who goes into a restaurant and blatantly disrespects the servers shows a strong discontent with his own being. Deep down he knows that restaurant service is the closest thing he will ever experience to being served like a king.” KnowsMenShowsStrongFoodKingsRestaurantsClosestDiscontentDeep DownDisrespectServer Book:Killosophy Source: Killosophy

“People need to understand. If they go to a show on Broadway and find seventy people working but only fifty spectators, how much would the ticket cost? That's what El Bulli's about. There are seventy actors who are playing for just fifty spectators. Is the price expensive? It's relative. How much does a normal dinner at a five-star hotel restaurant cost? Four hundred dollars. It's the same as El Bulli. But you can also think of it this way: How much would it cost to eat something that nobody else is eating?” PeopleIfsThinkingWayNeedsDoeShowsActorsStarsFiveFourCostNormalEatingHundredDollarsDinnerRestaurantsExpensiveFiftyHotelRelativeTicketsSeventiesBroadwaySpectators Author:Ferran Adria
“I was always pretty broad. I've had a couple bad experiences. One time, I showed up late for a gig in Brooklyn at an Italian restaurant. I ran on stage, did my show, and then some guy in the audience threatened to kill me because he didn't like my joke. Instead of talking to him, I just ran off stage. And then, because I was late, the owner of the restaurant threatened to kill me. And I was 19 years old and so scared that I almost started crying. But, I've done every gig you can imagine, in every state.” YearsStatesDoneShowsGuyTalkingAudienceImagineStageCryCoupleLateJokesScaredRanRestaurantsOwnersBroadsItalianOne TimeThreatenedKill MeGigsBrooklynBad ExperiencesTalking To Him Author:Nick Swardson
“The etiquette of intimacy is very different from the etiquette of formality, but manners are not just something to show off to the outside world. If you offend the head waiter, you can always go to another restaurant. If you offend the person you live with, it's very cumbersome to switch to a different family.” IfsWorldPersonsDifferentShowsFamilyMannersIntimacyRestaurantsEtiquetteShowing OffOutside WorldWaiterFormalityFamily ManDifferent Families Author:Judith Martin
