New Restaurant Requires Guests To Compliment The Chef Before Each Course

The Flattery Fuel restaurant has opened with a unique policy: before each course, guests must deliver a specific and sincere compliment to the chef. Failure to deliver an adequate compliment results in the course being delayed until a satisfactory comment is made. The restaurant's website states, 'We believe dining should be a two-way street of appreciation. You appreciate our food, we appreciate your compliments.' One diner said, 'I told the chef -Your salmon is good and he looked at me like I'd insulted his mother. I had to say -Your salmon is the platonic ideal of fish preparation, and I am unworthy to taste it. before he let me proceed.' The restaurant has a 4.8-star rating with reviews like 'The food was okay but the compliments were exhausting.' Critics have called it 'the most stressful fine dining experience in history.'
