Started in April 2004, Waiter Rant is a widely viewed weblog started by a person only known as "Waiter" (purposefully non-specific) who provides bi-weekly (more or less) vignettes into the lives of wait staff and their customers at a purposefully unnamed restaurant (referred to as "The Bistro") in New York that "Waiter" manages. Apparently Waiter's writing, shtick, and ability to give the reader something they need have caused this blog to become wildly popular in the USA and parts of Europe. "Waiter" now has a book deal in the works with Harper Collins and has just recently appeared on NPR. Part of the enjoyment of reading Waiter Rant is reviewing the "Comments" after "Waiter" posts his latest [mis]adventure. Sometimes Waiter is hilarious. Sometimes Waiter is poignant. Soon though, you come to realize what Waiter Rant really is--habit forming.
