are you reading waiter rant? it's the musings of a waiter at an anonymous bistro in new york city. he's funny and moving and caustic and though it's mostly him offering up social commentary (ie bitching) about his various customers, every once in a while he'll go off on a well-written tangent totally unrelated to food or dining.

you really should be reading it. i dare you to take a look at this post, about his time as a priest-in-training, and not be moved.
