yet another consequence of the storm...
...is that restaurants, even the best of them, can't find good, stable help these days:
Waiter melee at Antoine'sBefore they could serve the first order of oysters rockefeller, two "apprentice waiters" at Antoine's attacked one another in a melee that ended with a swinging glass bottle and a pool of blood, said the restaurant's owner, Rick Blount.
The melee interupted the table-setting routine and sent one waiter to the hospital and another to police custody -- all before dinner. The New Orleans Police Department initially dispatched officers to the restaurant in the 700 block of St. Louis Street for an alleged shooting, but that later proved false.
we're lucky, our issues with flaky staff usually revolve around drugs and abusive boyfriends. Nobody's gone postal at either restaurant yet (knocks on wood).
