John Mariani's Seven Deadly Sins of a Restaurateur

Over on Esquire.com, John Mariana has listed his Seven Deadly Sins of a Restaurateur:

"If the origins of the word "restaurant" have to do with "restoring" a guest to well-being, why is it that so often we guests feel intimidated, ill-served, even gouged in restaurants whose comfort, heat, and noise level resemble that of a Pittsburgh steel factory?

Check out the full article for attitude, perspective, and opinion for each sin.
