Unlike American waiters, who sometimes work in restaurants to pay for school or while pursuing an acting career, French waiters go to college to learn how to be great waiters.
“Students at Ferrandi don’t just learn to dismember a chicken and hold forth about red wine, they do drama exercises; they take posture, breathing and fashion lessons.” Arthur says he learned “how to project confidence, how to walk, how to talk and how never, ever, to fidget.”
