Sometimes, you just gotta go.
Sometimes, whether inexplicably or due to a confluence of circumstances that are just too much — too much food, too much wine, too much pressure, and too much time — you just gotta go.I love a tasting menu. I love the thought and attention that goes into each experience. As a diner, I love relinquishing control over to a kitchen and service team that are going to take me on a journey when I sit down at their table or counter — ideally counter — so I can see the cooks perform.
But that is not to say that relinquishing control and investing in these fleeting experiences is always wonderful. Sometimes, whether inexplicably or due to a confluence of circumstances that are just too much — too much food, too much wine, too much pressure and too much time — you just gotta go.A meal that will live in infamy.
Brian Becher is a GCC-based executive chef with a career based on knowing what the best restaurants in the world are doing and serving, so that he can replicate magnificent experiences in his own kitchens. He echoed the pressures Thomas felt, telling me, "There was only one occurrence where I left a restaurant before my set menu had concluded. I was excited for the experience. I had some common friends with the owner and chef, and the initial hospitality we received was outstanding.
When the reason you feel compelled to leave is physical, whether from an underlying condition or a result of circumstance a graceful exit can be elusive. You can feel like you're held hostage by this situation, tethered by social conformity and the desire to not offend. It's a transaction, Rivers explains. "As with any commitment that involves money, it's standard due diligence to know the basics of what you're getting into — what are you eating and how much will it cost — ahead of time. That way, you're managing your own expectations, following restaurant etiquette, and saving the restaurant from having to deal with a whole host of issues, such as throwing off the kitchen's rhythm, food waste, or lost revenue on beverages or tips.
