Phyllis Richman's Waiter Rant
Retired Washington Post restaurant critic Phyllis Richman lets loose with her own waiter rant. I've eaten with Phyllis, and she's smart, funny, and doesn't suffer fools gladly.
Her pet peeves:

- Show-off waiters who insist on asking how everything is
What else do waiters do that drive serious eaters crazy?
