I have a close connection to How to Dine Out and Not Embarrass Yourself. In a not so distant time in my life, I worked in the restaurant industry. I worked there for many years. And I learned not only how to be a good server, but also how to be a good customer. But my experience alone wasn’t enough to support a official How To on the subject of dining out. I needed definitive authorities and experts to back up all my back talk. I needed proof! I found two funny, well-written blogs about the life of the professional server, and what it is like to wait on people who just don’t appreciate good service.

Waiter Rant and The Insane Waiter will make you laugh, cry (that might be a stretch) and laugh some more. They are an inside look into what goes on behind-the-scenes in restaurants all across America. They remind me that we should all have a good laugh and not take any of it too seriously. It’s not rocket science, it’s just food.
