About
Here’s the who, what and why of things. I have twenty plus years in the food service industry and I’ve been consuming food since I can remember. I have done all there is to do in a restaurant from manning hotdog rollers at a convenience store to crumbing tables at a fine dining eatery. I’m relatively tired of working in the industry but I fear I’ll never tire of talking about it, so I must blog. This blog is not just mine but a place for everyone who has ever had even a shred of experience in any food service establishment. This blog is for every person who has washed a dish, cooked a burger, delivered a drink, managed a staff, sat at a table, waited at a counter and loved and/or hated everything about the food service industry. I would like to explore the ins and outs of the biz from all sides. I would like to divulge all stories of the customer from hell, the server from another planet, the fabulous or rotten food and, of course, the cockroach on the floor. I plan to take no prisoners. I will shoot first and ask questions later. I will invite my readers to do the same. I hope to piss you off, entertain you and make you think. Cross me and you shall rue the day. Please me and I will look harder till you cross me.
I am the Food Vigilante and this is my blog….

Years ago while eating an average lunch at mediocre and cheap Pittsburgh restaurant i couldn’t help notice two granma typesin the next booth trying to get a free desert.After eating three quarters of a dish of cottage cheese they called the waitress over and complained about the cottage cheese and how it must have been old.They got a complimentary dish of icecream,giggled as they ate it and when done left no tip. I was shocked but then again I filed that neat trick in my memory bank for use when I get old!
