Certainly, sir

This is a service business and we aim to please. Not to educate. Customers will come in with some odd requests and if the server wants his tip he'll try to accomodate them. Even if the chef throws a pan at his head. One table of educated but uncultured people ordered fettucine alfredo (a heart attack on a noodle that's not actually from Italy) and requested crab cakes served on top. The server said yes, the chef said *^%$##@ and finally said he would make the two items seperately and if she wanted to combine them she could but he didn't want to see it.
Not that all the oddball requests come from the patrons. A new server placed a pasta order in the computer and the chef rushed out of the kitchen, yelling "What the f***!!!" The customer wanted pasta with tomato sauce. The server order pasta bolognese (tomato with meat sauce) and memoed the kitchen to hold the meat. I guess he thought they could just strain it out.
