A LA CALIFORNIA

WAITING ON TABLES
First I learn the menu...
Second I learn the wine list...

DINNER
The Romans dined in the early afternoon...
Karl der Grosse was the inventor of Brunch...

RESTAURANT verses
(fine) RESTAURANT
Have you ever asked yourself, "Did I really eat
what I am charged for?"
 

NEW CALIFORNIA CUISINE
Among other themes and restaurant labels an
interview with the chef de cuisine of New California Cuisine.

CHANGE
A cozy, friendly neighborhood restaurant changes into
one of those profitable sterile fast-feeding-places...

SENSIBLE
No restaurant is going to please all the customers, all the time. 

THE WAITER'S DIGEST is set up in form of a RESTAURANT MENU, lighter fare in the beginning, main courses under Entrees and sweet delights under Desserts.

Absolutely correct! Starters are not starters, Pasta is not pasta, Soup is not soup, Dessert is not dessert..., what helmut the waiter serves are nothing but words for your enjoyment, to enrich your life, to make the visit on the internet a fun time of reading and learning...
