I suppose we all deserve a chance to gripe about our jobs in the relevant website or reading material of our profession. That is, to the extent of my capacity to tell, entirely what this article is. With some facts about Flambé sprinkled in. There aren't even really any "confession" anecdotes except "I wasn't trained and I messed up sometimes" and "this woman didn't like bananas but ordered it anyway".

I think i get where the rant of the author comes from, it’s the superficiality of it all, people didn’t order the dessert because they wanted to eat it but only because of the fire show which might make him feel like a circus act rather than a cook but that’s what everything seems to be today all show, no substance. It doesn’t matter if you don’t like the food as long as it looks good in the pics, only the 5 seconds of fame matter.

It probably seems dumb if you do 6 flambes each night, but the patrons probably eat mostly for sustenance and taste 99% of the time and want a little show this once. It's not like every restaurant has tableside preparations.
