Never kill a customer.

A restaurant chef was detained by police in Liaoning Province after he assaulted a customer over an unsavory comment about his cooking, media reported Friday.
Jinzhou police took the feisty cook, surnamed Zhang, into custody for the altercation at the local eatery on September 4. The punched patron, surnamed Zhao, suffered minor injuries, police said.
According to reports, Zhang and another chef were arguing over recipes for stir-fried eggplant when Zhao overheard and chimed in.
Zhao described Zhang's cooking as "too salty to satisfy customers or the restaurant's owner." The unsolicited comment apparently left a bad taste in Zhang's mouth, who rebutted with a punch to Zhao's face.
The story quickly went viral on social media. "This could only happen in China since all Chinese are foodies," wrote a Sina Weibo user.
Others said it reminded of the Chinese saying, "An onlooker should never speak during a chess match."
When you get to upset, you should just wok out.
Never insult the chef while you are still within arms reach.
Eggplant is not beef. Not is this world or any other.
I think eggplant beef is a dish with both beef and eggplant.
Well you see, the eggplant and the beef loved each other SOOOOO much......
Okay, but then they got the proportions wrong. Always have more beef than eggplant.
Mmmm. Beef eggplant slug cookies!
Especially because we use very sharp knives.
“The story quickly went viral on social media. “This could only happen in China since all Chinese are foodies,” wrote a Sina Weibo user.”
Chinese are foodies like Mexicans are foodies.
Never kill a customer.
Especially when the cook's name is "Mungo."
I see we’re on the same page today.
AND NOW THE PUNCH-LINE
“Lucky we didn’t say anything about the dirty knife.”
Eggplant beef couldn’t be worse than tofu bacon.
anybody who orders Eggplant=anything
has no cause to complain
And from The Big Bang Theory:
Penny: You know, for a smart guy, you really seem to have a hard time grasping the concept, don’t piss off the people who handle the things you eat.
Amy: That does seem to be a valid principle.
Sheldon: I trust Penny will adhere to the Official California Restaurant Workers’ Solemn Oath of Ethics and Cleanliness.”
Your meatloaf is mushy, your salmon croquettes are oily and your eggplant parmesan is a disgrace to this house!

Or did the beef taste like chicken?
