I mentioned it in another comment somewhere in here, but I went to apologize for undermining him in a professional setting. He said that he had a good laugh with the food rep after I "talked a big game then walked away looking like a tomato." He said both of them has heard worse, but he isn't usually left speechless. Then he told me he can't wait to check out the list I have for him with a sly wink.

We have already talked, and he said the two of them had a good laugh after I talked big then walked away looking like a tomato. I am sure he doesn't hold a grudge. This man will walk into the kitchen on a Friday night, and announce himself with "it's gonna be okay everyone, Mr. cuk is here, and I'll make sure you guys don't get fucked too hard."

That is so funny! I worked for a larger organization that hosted a yearly fund raiser called "the big grape". We had an E-mail chain get started by a female manager to talk about the event, but they missed a "G" in their subject line in the E-mail. For the next month we were all making jokes about the "bi grape." You can imagine where it went from there with kitchen staff.

You are totally right. The next time I saw him I apologized. He laughed about it, and told me paper would be sufficient.

This man is the opposite of everything you've seen about chefs on TV. He is always as cool as a cucumber. I've seen the man cry a couple times, but I've never seen him lose his cool. He is frustratingly calm, to the point that I thought he didn't care at all for a long time. He cares a lot, just not as much about the food as the people.
