I like angel-hair pasta but you don’t look like an angel.

“…and it’s on me”.

“At least it was.”

And trust me, you don’t want to see the meatballs!

As Rod Stewart would say, “And you wear it well”.

“It’s not spaghetti; it’s linguini.”

“It’s garbage now!”

Grated parmesan on top if you can name the play / movie.

It was the chef’s special, but he left in a huff.

I think it’s off the menu now. :P

Thanks for the educational banter. I saw the movie many years ago but hadn’t a clue.

“…and I’m the meatball!”

An artist at work.

Do you always wear the special of the day? Why yes, yes I do! It gives the customers a chance to taste before ordering…..

“I’ll have the fish.”

Evidently the last person to try it was not impressed.

Memo from Waiter to Self: Never criticize the chef!!

And please, do NOT have me ask the chef for a bottle of ketchup!

Something tells me it’s not very good today…

This cartoon is closer to reality than you think.

I have seen a chef clear a whole serving line of plated food onto the floor because the server wasn’t fast enough to pick up the order. I’ve also seen cooks throw dishes of food at servers or at another cook in a fit of anger. And one lunatic chef I knew was notorious for throwing kitchen knives at servers! ( He was eventually locked up when he accidently stabbed a waiter. )

“Heard about this new restaurant. Had reservations. Went anyway.”

If I were the customer, and I looked up to see the waiter in that condition, I’d be out of there very quickly.
