I understand how annoying customers can be, but ultimately the restaurant business is about giving people what they want and making money doing so. If someone is unreasonable, simply refuse.

As an artist I can understand where Eden is coming from.
His job isn't entertaining; he isn't your host. If you don't like food at a certain restaurant, don't go. These dishes are creations. I don't get why people think it's okay to go to restaurants and dictate the Chef's work. It wouldn't be okay anywhere else.
There has to be a line between customer service and pandering. A carpenter can change a structural decision but who's to say how sound it is, or how he/she will look when the house collapses. They choose the tastes specifically. But you choose to pick at it and then it's the Chef's fault that it sucks. Unfair.
I get physical limitations NG but most people do it out of "taste" not because they are allergic to something.
I had a waiter refuse my girlfriend ketchup at a high end italian restaurant in Toronto. She was annoyed. I got it. Who wants to make art and then have someone paint over it with something that is cheap and tasteless.
