At one Palm Beach restaurant, that dirty martini might be REALLY dirty
I’m about to lose one of my best sources for insider restaurant dish — a friend of mine is retiring, at least temporarily, from her job as a server to get married.
But she’s stored up enough tales of woe to keep me busy while she’s on hiatus. Like the one about a well-known Palm Beach Italian restaurant that, as long as she worked there, recycled the complementary olives picked over by patrons. Servers would pluck out the gnawed-on pits from Table A and just pitch those babies back into the bin for the next unsuspecting customer to gnosh on at Table B.
