Just who is Manuel T. Waiter?
Whilst Manuel T. Waiter may be more bonbon than bon vivant it would still be true to say he has an enormous passion for all things epicurean. His enormous passion is matched only by his enormous gut.
As author of the moderately popular, , Manuel exposed the psychotic tendencies of chefs, the petty foibles and rudeness of restaurant diners and the heroic undertakings of those magnificent bastards, the Waiters.
He also whinged, a lot.
But it wasn’t all laughs and jolly japes, there was failure too. The rancorous made Well Done Fillet it’s blog of the week and referred to Manuel as being both British and cynical in the same sentence. Manuel is in fact Irish and cynical. Well Done Fillet was twice thrice shortlisted four times for an but came home with no gongs, gongless if you will, bitterness by the bushel but no gongs. The empty space on the fireplace taunts him so.
Except for that one time when he did win.
But the late night tears were tempered by positive mentions in , , , and the
Manuel lives in that last bastion of hope and liberal thought, Belfast.
Ha.
He shares a perfectly reasonable two up, two down with The Cousin and an who just wont let it go.
Manuel takes no physical exercise and does not enjoy going to the cinema nor socialising with friends despite what it says on his CV. He spends what free time he has romancing Little Miss Manuel and recreating the from Little House on the Prairie. It is almost impossible for Manuel to pass a flowery/hilly meadow without feeling the need to run down it, fall, and pick himself up. He misses the TV shows of the late 70’s and early 80’s. Manuel also takes a very dim view of God botherers, mouth breathers, finger clickers and Adam Sandler.
Manuel is a . Although he considers his faux doom laden goth days to be among the happiest of his life he realises that like being a stamp collector, train spotter or Priest being a goth is not a healthy or acceptable lifestyle choice in the new millennium. Manuel is only allowed to wear one item of black clothing at any one time and may only listen to The Cure for one hour a month. It’s hard but he accepts it’s for the best.
Manuel T. Waiter is 38 years old and bitter, a contented sort of bitter.
Contact Manuel if you must…
Manuel is an insecure attention seeker so he will definitely get back to you.

Hi we just launched new web site Waiters Today social network for waitresses,waiters,bartenders and all restaurant staff.
Waiters Today is a project made by restaurant enthusiasts with the goal of forming a social network that will help all people involved in the restaurant industry. By connecting and interacting directly with real people from the industry, our hope is to promote continued self-education, share information and work experiences, and provide a fun atmosphere for socializing and networking.
The idea came from a group of friends working together in a fine dining restaurant in Indianapolis. Starting as wait assistance, each has strived to work their way up and are currently working as servers, bartenders, and managers. Working their way to their positions, then maintaining them requires continuous self-education acquired by searching the web, reading books about wine, food, cocktails, and anything else restaurant related.
So we thought, why not try to connect all of our friends from our industry? Not just in Indianapolis, but all over the country, and hopefully all over the world. After all the restaurant industry is one of the biggest and oldest professions. Here is our opportunity to blog or talk about different restaurant topics with others who understand the restaurant business. We deserve to be connected and to grow in every aspect. Not to mention have our voices heard!
We would like to call all the restaurant industry people (no matter what your position or experience is), along with all the people and companies also connected to restaurants, to join our web site. Invite friends from the industry and let us all share our experiences and knowledge.
Here you can promote your blog through blog or forum section its free !!!!
We would appreciate if you would put link to your web site to our web site as well.
For All questions e-mail us => [email protected]
Sincerely yours Waiters Today Team .
About 10 years ago I moved to a new city & got a job at a popular, independent bookstore. My very first day an ancient, bent over gentleman approached me. He stabbed his cane at a spot on a bookshelf & yelled “Where is the cat book that was there 2 years ago? I want that book!” He then slashed his cane at me missing me by inches. I asked if he knew the title or author since the display case was a rotating one with the most recent & popular books displayed. He stabbed his cane at me & muttered something incomprhensible & I fled to the back & asked the head book buyer if she knew what he was talking about. She did! I found it & I escorted him to the checkout desk where he threw the book at the cashier. I left in one quick hurry.
