Quotes

Steven: He is on his fourth scotch. She's having a triple chocolate mousse cake. He is with a prostitute. Are you responsible for his hangover, her thighs, his chlamydia? Of course not! We're just giving them what they want! Why? Because we believe in freedom in America...and to a lesser extent in Britain. (edit)
Seth: (Carrying a plate of dessert ) Eight thousand calories -- all of them fat!
Jack: Attaboy! (edit)
Jack: Mimi, tell Gerard I'm not a trained poodle. If he wants to order, he can order off the menu like everybody else.
Mimi: You tell him. When I tried, he said he made two waitresses like me in the toilet this morning. (edit)
Jim: What about waitresses? Can I smack waitresses?
Seth: Yeah that'll end well. (edit)
Jim: So there's gotta be somebody that's lower than me.
Seth: No, you're mud.
Steven: Cat vomit.
Seth: Low man, on the totem pole.
JIm: I don't want to be the low man on the totem pole.
Jack: Tough taco, flaco. (edit)

Superb
Dinner Date With Death
"Well written"
I loved this episode of Kitchen Confidential mostly because it was full of references to the personal and political philosphy I support - Libertarianism. From a joke about England supporting freedom less than USA, to the hotdog guy having a gun, to living
