Ouzo 4th street. "chef" incident...STAY AWAY!

[ZorroAMG]

So we go to Ouzo for dinner tonight, my family and friends....all is good, food is decent. Then the entrees come. I order chicken souvlaki. Big mistake.

The chicken comes and I take a bite. It's undercooked/chewy brutal texture, so I send it back. No biggie, right? Normal restaurant practice right?

Wrong.

The Australian 350+lb "owner" shows up to the table, crouches down singling me out all aggressive, gets in my face literally and starts giving ME shit for sending the food back.

Owner: "I just wanted to tell you that this chicken is NOT UNDERCOOKED, I HAVE BEEN A CHEF FOR 25YRs blah blah blah I am going to do you a favor and BRING you your replacement beef souvlaki, just don't question my ability as a chef"

Me: "I'm sorry but YOU are confronting ME? Take your "chicken" and take your beef, I won't be ingesting more of your "food" ever again. Is this your first restaurant?" by this point the whole table is WTF at Andre the douchebag. "Let me offer you some advice, do not question the customer. Your only words to me should be, sorry sir, right away"

I was SO fucking mad at the prick. Who in their right mind thinks this is acceptable? All the family and work and colleagues USED to eat there regularly. Never again.

BIG thumbs down to the chef/owner, I do feel bad that the adorable waitress was caught in the middle. Even she gave him a WTF.... next time we are all going to Mannies.

I'm hungry. LOL


Ouzo = big fail.

Very very unprofessional on his part.

Good call on Mannies though!!

If chicken is undercooked, it wouldn't be chewy just speaking on a chef standpoint and I can see why he called you out




But yes he was in the wrong for even coming out to confront you about it, you should of told him hes not Chef Gordon Ramsey

[ZorroAMG]

not chewy....that may be the wrong word....the consistency/texture was way off....

Ahaha my friend was like, who's this guy? Gordon Ramsey.

Funny thing is because of his behemoth stature, most people wouldn't have said anything back to him....fuck that.

[dj_rice]

U should of took a bunch of dishes and smashed them on the ground and said OPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[ZorroAMG]

LOL....should have opa'd my stella bottle on the table...

That is really unprofessional, definitely not the way to handle that type of situation. What ever happened to quality service?

No doubt, its a disgusting way to treat a paying customer. But the good thing is, thats how places lose business. This thread will get indexed in Google, and people searching for the resteraunt will see this thread

Mannies? Maybe you should stick to Falafel King.

[ZorroAMG]

hahaah fucker E36....shawarma was closed.

Well I guess the owner had too much pride and couldn't take any constructive criticism. I find that most chefs turn into these douchebags and so it's probably a good idea to have a front of the house manager or a server leader to do the talking when dealing with customers. Either way, he shouldn't have done anything like that, now a lot of people will hear about this bad reputation and get turned away from the business.

[E36M3]

Well then suicide bomb them and we won't have to worry about this thread.

Seriously, if the chicken was undercooked and he came out to defend it he deserved to be told off.

Salmonella

I hope you got loud so a lot of people heard you and it hurts his business.

Not super loud cause I wasn't feeling like a douche but people noticed when I said " you're fucking ridiculous, don't come out here again"

[JordanAndrew]

Did you do anything else though to tick them off? Is there another reason why he would go out and confront you?

[ZorroAMG]

Not at all. Had great appetizers, waitress was great...all other entrees were fine but I sent mine back...nothing weird...

Guy was fucking off his rocker coming up to me the way he did.

[gatorade]

chicken is the worst thing to ever eat undercooked, that or pork lol

[JEFFRIX]

you should've uppercut his fatass...

[ZorroAMG]

He's not a chill guy

[AE92_TreunoSC]

Really unprofessional, I'd hate to work with that bastard haha
