Here's your *#&$% dressing on the side!

On the evening of Thursday, March 29, in the middle of the Bulldog's busy dinner rush, a bartender asked Schoenefeld for a salad with dressing on the side, per a customer's request, according to our sources.

Schoenefeld—known for working 20-hour shifts and harboring the kind of short temper common among kitchen workers—was unwilling to compromise the salad's presentation. An argument ensued. That's when Schoenefeld went for the mustard.

It's fitting that a place known for its unconventional bar food would be the site of an unconventional bar fight, and this was it. Schoenefeld, armed with a full mustard bottle, doused the bartender (and several nearby customers). A second bartender then physically threatened Schoenefeld.

"There is no sincerer love than the love of food."  -George Bernard Shaw, Man and Superman, Act 1

 

"Imagine all the food you have eaten in your life and consider that you are simply some of that food, rearranged."  -Max Tegmark, physicist

 

Gene Weingarten, writing in the Washington Post about online news stories and the accompanying readers' comments: "I basically like 'comments,' though they can seem a little jarring: spit-flecked rants that are appended to a product that at least tries for a measure of objectivity and dignity. It's as though when you order a sirloin steak, it comes with a side of maggots."

 

A king can stand people's fighting, but he can't last long if people start thinking. -Will Rogers, humorist

s.o.s. is a pretty lame reason to be fired. and just how would it compromise the presentation of bar food? as much as i get pissed at foh staff, i wouldn't do it for something that petty. maybe there was a long standing grudge between this particular waiter and the chef. i'm actually glad the owners fired them. let them get away with it and you end up with an a$$hole chef who doesn't deserve to wear whites.
