Independent Journalism in Denver Needs You
We need to raise $25,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
A couple of restaurants in town are now listing items that diners can order for the back-of-the-house, including a six-pack for the kitchen crew, in order to further enhance their meal.
In a post about these new drink-list requests yesterday, Laura Shunk wondered if this trend was charming — or irritating.Here’s Widow’s take:
The servers and bartenders are the only ones that should be sending drinks to the kitchen. They benefit the most from the kitchen’s hard work, and the many times I see them doing shots with each other on the house, seems it won’t cost ’em a dime either.
How about this?, every free beer you give me for warming a seat at your bar and making the place look more lively, I’ll reciprocate by buying a beer for the kitchen. win-win.
