SF, Europe doesn't give away food for free, save tapas in Spain when you order a drink.
But here in the US, the bread basket placed before the meal is free. Some companies spend in excess of $1M a year just on free bread!
Most of the places this gentleman is writing about isn't your normal eatery. It's the more upscale places, like his Rosebud Restaurant. I like to think of the rosebud as being the same as balloon knot and the like, if you don't get it urbandictionary.
I like upscale dining in Europe. They don't cater to me and leave me to enjoy my meal for however long I want to sit.
And my friends who are chefs, I don't bug them and don't even let them know that I'm coming to their restaurant. If I want my friends to socialize with me I don't expect them to come to my office while I'm working. It's not like they are just hanging out waiting to chat.
