I started reading Waiter Rant sometime in the fall of 2004. I was stuck in a job that wasn't particularly busy and so I would pass the hours reading blogs and exploring the internet (the boredom I experienced at that job is what prompted me to start blogging, which eventually led me here to Slashfood). Having never worked in a restaurant, I was fascinated by the stories that the Waiter posted and would check back every day, hoping for a new post (this was long before I learned to use an RSS reader). I, along with many of his other readers, was thrilled when he announced that he had gotten a book deal and would be bringing his stories to live between two covers.
Waiterrant fans, the wait is over, the book has arrived and the Waiter has been revealed. He is Steve Dublanica and the New York Post has an exclusive interview with him in which they dish about the blog, the restaurant and how he was almost outed by Russell Crowe. Steve has also been guest blogging over at Powells.com this week, so go over and check out what he wrote this week.
