I'll probably catch greif for wadeing back into this one... But what the
hell. Theoretically, the waiter in the fine dinning establishment has more
skills & more knowledge of food, wine ect... What got me out of cafe & pub
service & into fine dinning & eventually management, was the challenge & the
desire for more knowledge. If I went back to a slap & dash pub type
enviornment now... It would bore me to tears..... Just my opinion.
