I was in Amsterdam this weekend and now in Toronto kind of mad looking back. I just wrapped up an event with Scotch & Soda where I arranged a robust vegetarian menu, having done extensive market testing with the Amsterdam scene. I did the same thing for Esprit in SOHO. I exchanged a few plates of excellent roti canai with Ronald Van Der Vis at that, and it was just one of the staples of the menu at this new gig. I know it's a success based on my past.
However I had an altercation with several operations managers like Anthony Webb, which led to a bad impression with Maison Scotch. There was a conflict between the menu and the corporate members - can you believe its written into one man's contract that any privately-organized event he attends must have veal in the catering option. I chose to ignore certain clauses that were presented to me for both moral and logistical reasons. It came to a moment where I used a ziptie to lock one of the boiler dishes and removed it completely to illustrate a point. I literally called De Slinger and asked them if they'd take the food in front of the operations manager. I think all in all the event was a success and ultimately food is not my primary responsibility, in fact I'm more of a hired culturalist.
It completely floors me the apparent lack of appreciative taste even in an industry like this.

did you write this? is this a quote from somewhere else? kind of fucked up if you wrote it and your calling out individuals (clients) with their real names.

"written into one man's contract that any privately-organized event he attends must have veal in the catering option"
Bwahahaha - sorry, this is real life, if you insist on shit like this, get your mum to pack you a lunch.
Someone who actually goes to the trouble of writing something like that into a contract is so woefully out of touch with real people that he's incredibly wealthy and doesn't need to be at such an event, and is just dicking people around because he can, or is just incredibly a dick and is just dicking people around because people let him.
Fuck him, you don't need anyone's business that badly that you need to pander to that level of dickery. I'd rather work in a sweatshop than suck the fail from that his weazley teet. Names and numbers, please.- is my 'high-horse' out of the stable again, set ?mikotondria3

"It came to a moment where I used a ziptie to lock one of the boiler dishes and removed it completely to illustrate a point."
That point being?
"I literally called De Slinger and asked them if they'd take the food in front of the operations manager."
To what end?
"I think all in all the event was a success and ultimately food is not my primary responsibility, in fact I'm more of a hired culturalist."
Yet you invested time in "extensive market testing with the Amsterdam scene" in order to pull this.
So many WTFs.
