The meat did not look fresh and the customer decided to complain, but not in the usual way. He was drunk and did not accept objections. When the cook attempted to defend the freshness of the pork, the customer grabbed a knife and plunged it into the chef’s abdomen.
The incredible incident happened in an ouzorie in the area of Menemeni, Thessaloniki, in front of the frightened eyes of dozens of patrons.
Speaking on ‘You Haven’t Seen Anything’, the chef who was attacked said: “He should be punished, I don’t want an apology or anything. Whatever he offers me I can’t, I can’t see him because he’s not human. I don’t sleep all night, I fall asleep after 7 in the morning with the bells ringing until 9-10, until then I sleep. No more, because I will have pain again. The incident, he calls me and says I want to eat something light. I call it light, I have chicken soup, green rice. Then he tells me “no, none of them light meat”. If we go to the meat, I have chicken of the day, I have shortbread. He says to me, “give me a kontosouvli, and a kefalotiri saganaki and a french fries.” I serve the kontosouvli with pilaf».
«I hear her calling me from the kitchen. I go out and he says to me “will you tell me if the shorts are today’s or old?” I say they are today’s, I don’t have yesterday’s. He starts swearing at my mother, he gets angry and I say “stop”. I am 65 years old, a professional and you will not curse my mother. He freaks out, gets up, grabs the fork and comes over to me. He had also grabbed the knife and stabbed me in the stomach. He had parked the motorbike in front of the shop and left… he was cursing. The doctors told me “if you hadn’t come, you would have died in 3 minutes“, he said afterwards, recounting the incident.
