The Comment of the Week

If I could, I would award every comment under The Awesomeness of Cheese post Comment of the Week. Can you have Comment Section of the Week?

But if I must limit myself to only one comment, it would have to be:

cheese is the beatles of food.

How true. How simple and yet Zen-like in its wisdom.  ...

I also wanted to give a shout out to this fine comment under 100 things wait staff should never do.

101. Do not exhibit magic tricks at table. No excuses. Do not do it; not even "the salt cellar out of the customer's ear" trick.
102. No "doo-rags."
103. No humming whilst plating the table. Not even "Hunka Hunka Burnin' Love" for the well-done filet mignon.
104. If your are missing a digit on one hand or the other, wear white gloves.
105. Do not holler back at the kitchen for any reason. Go back there in person and speak in your "six-inch voice."
106. Do not narrate the history your tattoos.
107. Do not talk about "my ex-" anything.
108. Never begin a sentence "At the last place I worked..."
109. Do not fondle the pepper mill. Two or three quick turns and be done with it.
110. If a customer lightly touches you on the arm, smile and slowly pull away and look at the person as if the person were radioactive.
111. Address male customers as "squire" and female customers as "mum" until somebody tells you to stop.
112. When using the crumb scraper, do not say to the customers "Isn't this a neat little tool?" like you are the Sham Wow Guy or something.
