  • James Beard would have cut the corn. --Okay so I know you must be wondering exactly what that means. We went to the restaurant on a wed night--picked up a great rose from AZ Stronghold at public market to avoid the corkage fee and was looking forward to a new dining experience. Things started out fabously--the wait person was well informed and helpful with the menu. We decided to split three dishes. We ordered the scallops appetizer--they were perfect! done to perfection which is not easily done with scallops. We split them --put one on each plate. Next came the jerk chicken salad--again--a wonderful complement of spicy chicken and mangos--the perfect marriage of spice and sweet. we commented we had made the perfect choice of the Rose from AZ Stronghold and looking forward to the next course. and so it came--jerk prawns, grilled pineapple on slaw--with a half an ear of corn--ahhhhhh there's the rub. the plate would looked lovely, but because we were sharing--I asked the wait person--if the corn could be cut in half--don't get me wrong, i really liked my dining companion, but could not just bring myself to nibble on the same ear of corn. the wait person took the plate back to the kitchen--we were salivating because the prawns smelled really wonderful-- then the plate came back--and the ear of corn was still in tack-- during the course of rest of the evening we were given several reasons, why this simple request could not be accomodated ahh-the chef is an artist and cutting the corn would have upset the balance of the design of the plate. we could not cut the ear ourselves because there were no sharp knives.-- there are only two chefs and there isn"t time to accomodate special requests ok--this is a restaurant with maybe 10 tables--by the time we left there were only 2 people left in the restaurant.--so special requests can't be accomodated? Also we would have eaten the corn, but instead it was wasted. I am self employed and my customers are everything to my livlihood. If I can accomodate I will even though it might not be exactly what I want to do--because the more important thing is I want to establish long term relationships with them and have them come back again and again and again. Unfortunately--I will not be going back to breadfruit--the food was generally good--but I would rather spend my dining dollar in someplace the recognizes that it is so easy to accomodate simple requests and the benefit to do that is repeat customers.--it would have been so easy to have satisfied customers, by simply cutting the ear of corn.
