It shares its name with a drink Americans stubbornly keep ordering after 11 a.m. Unfortunately, it doesn’t share the taste.
It’s the Chef who, in 2025, has decided that the real enemy of Italian hospitality is… employees.
Not crippling bureaucracy. Not crushing taxes. Not medieval wages.
No — the real problem is communists, queers, and so-called “lazy workers.”
You read his words and feel like you’ve accidentally opened Mein Kampf, deluxe edition, curated by Gualtiero Marchesi.
Except instead of the imperial eagle, there’s a Michelin star — and beneath it, engraved: “Discipline sets you free.”
What we’re witnessing is an ideology disguised as a rant.
A Chef dreaming of a kitchen brigade made of obedient toy soldiers: eyes down, mouths shut.
Get sick? You’re a saboteur.
Talk back? A traitor.
The kitchen is no longer a workplace — it’s a productivity re-education camp.
Arbeit macht frei, tasting menu edition.
This is the classic meltdown of a small Führer in an apron: nostalgic for the good old days when he could scream at a dishwasher and call him a faggot without consequences.

You’re a slave to your ego, your ignorance, and your authoritarian worldview.
And if you think “entrepreneurial freedom” means discriminating, humiliating, and purging those who bother you — because of who they love, what they think, how they dress, or where they’re from — then you’re not an entrepreneur.
You’re just a small Nazi with a Michelin star.
Yesterday black shirts. Today kitchen aprons.
Same filth underneath.
See you next week,
SIMONE PUORTO
