Serena Williams Claims She Was Denied a Table At Paris Restaurant - Proceeds To Get Called Out After Restaurant Says They Were All Booked Up
Serena Williams called out a French restaurant for not seating her and got owned by the place on Twitter. I can imagine that in America everyone hops to to seat Serena wherever she wants but one of the only redeeming qualities about the French in my opinion is they aren't fans of Queens and chop them down a head when they get out of line--Queen of tennis notwithstanding. Apparently Serena was pissed the place wouldn't seat her even though there were empty tables. You see the French are pushovers everywhere else except when it comes to the dining experience. They will not cancel someone's reservation even for the Tennis Goat. If you call ahead and make a res they honor the fuck out of it. The French then replied to Serena and dunked on her in a way only a voulez vous francais sacre bleu type way that was definitely the Maitre De who was working that night.
All she had to do was make a reservation. I went to a French restaurant trying to impress a date and had to make the reservation two weeks in advance. The high French cuisine standard is no exception even for a celebrity. It is wild that Serena would not understand the sanctity of French cuisine.
Is it absolutely asinine that the French wouldn't be accommodating? Absolutely, but that's part of the reason why French cuisine is coveted. They spit in your face and say it rains and you like it. French Cuisine is the masochism of meals. They serve you frogs and snails and tell you it's the best shit you have ever eaten. They abuse you during the meal, that's part of it.

Having to go through all their hoops and be subjected to their snobbery is part of the experience. Italian restaurants treat you like family and give you good food till you can't shovel any more spaghetti in your mouth. That is killing someone with love. The French legit serve you the worst shit dressed up with a pretentious attitude and the people who don't actually want to enjoy things and want to seem sophisticated eat it up. It's the greatest scam of all time. But Serena you didn't role-play the right way in French cuisine, you are supposed to let them push you around for at least a week before you actually go with passive-aggressive individuals tell you they might not have a table for 2, then they serve you snails and shit while telling you its the best thing ever. It's literally shitting down your throat and saying its a 5-star meal.
