What Responsibility Does The Chef Have To The Customer

Q:  What if any responsibility does the

chef/restaurateur have to a customer…in a free

market? isn’t it up to the customer base to dictate by

either showing up or note showing up as to what a chef

should serve?..

 

 

A.-MURPH: “Short answer. Let the customer choose!…..

Long answer. How sad is it that our industry is being

scared into positions. If you are any size chain you

have to be on the lookout all the time. The real issue

is that the trial attorneys are just dying for a

chance to jump on and start class action law suites. I

am no fan of smoking, look what the trial attorneys

did for themselves in the name of health.  It is

almost not worth the effort to build a restaurant

company to serve the food and beverages you want to.

Only to be told that you concepts are no good and that

you are killing people. What ever happened to “buyer

be where”? I have no problem if the government wants

to set standards for government funded programs. After

all they are the buyer. I will always have a problem

with the government telling private businesses what to

serve. “
