rude chef or did I insult him

I went out to grab a bit with a friend, but she took so long that I ate a little something before she arrived to pick me, so when we finaly got to the restaurant I wanted something fresh and small so I ordered a side coleslaw. I took a couple bites and couldn't eat any more because it was just bad. Very water and bitter, it didn't have salt or much flavor. So when the waitress came to pick up the plate she asked if there was something wrong. I told her no that I just didn't like it that much but it was ok. Apparently she told the chef that I didn't like it and he came over bewildered at the thought that his coleslaw didn't taste good. He told me he was a chef and what ingredients he added. Then he said he owned many restaurants and that he knows how a propper coleslaw is made. I told him sorry but it was bitter and watery. He said a dry cole has sat out for too long and that was why it's dry and that his is freshly made. But for a freshly made coleslaw the cabbage was soggy and wilted. He then brought me some more coleslaw to try but it tasted just like the other one if not worst. He then made the waitress return the money for the salad and told me he would show me the ins of all his restaurants ( probably because I told him I wanted to go to culinary school ) he then promise that by the next time I went back he would improve the coleslaw. By the end of everything I was red and felt bad liked I insulted his skills. Was I wrong or did he take it too personal.
