00:00 at a restaurant in Illinois that was so awful that will remain nameless called Macaroni
00:05 Grill.
00:07 I hate this place so much.
00:10 Just the one in Donata, Illinois.
00:12 Everything else is fine.
00:14 Italian restaurant, my manager, this asshole Roger with the pockmarks, he was always saying
00:17 stupid shit to me like, he was like, "Hank, when you bring out the bread and the olive
00:22 oil, don't also bring out shaved Parmesan cheese because it's not authentically Italian."
00:25 Authentically Italian.
00:35 Roger you hired me.
00:39 So the next table, table 55, party of four, this is how trauma bonded I am to this place.
00:44 So remember it was like yesterday.
00:46 I go up to party of four and in their defense they were so old, right?
00:51 So it was like four old adorable little white people and the lady closest to me, I mean
00:54 they were, they looked like little shriveled up mushrooms, just like, oh, little shriveled
00:57 up mushrooms.
00:58 Just so cute.
00:59 Oh, I was so mad at them.
01:02 They were so cute.
01:03 But this little lady was like, "Oh my God, young man, please sing us a song in your native
01:10 language."
01:18 You mean English?
01:23 She said, "No, no, your native language."
01:27 Listen to me.
01:29 My name is Hank.
01:30 Okay.
01:31 That's how I introduced myself.
01:34 Welcome to Macaroni Grill.
01:35 My name is Hank.
01:36 Okay.
01:39 I did not introduce myself as Ling Ling or Beck-Duck because that would have been understandable.
01:48 What were they expecting?
01:49 Hello, welcome to a Macaroni Grill authentic Italian dining experience.
01:55 My name is Wong Fu.
01:57 Tonight, I'd be your food server, dry cleaner, shoe shiner, math tutor, and a Chinese railroad
02:04 worker.
02:05 What?
02:06 Oh, tonight, our chef special is a linguine with a white cram sauce with chihuahua baby
02:16 back rib.
02:17 Woof woof.
02:18 They are so fresh.
02:21 This morning shipment just ... You pick yours right now.
02:28 What?
02:30 Song in my native language?
02:36 Greatest honor of my entire dynasty.
02:47 Everybody, kung fu fighting.
02:56 That's how I lost my job at Macaroni Grill.
