Edsel Ford Fong
Edsel Ford Fung (often spelled Fong) (May 6, 1927 – April 1984) was an American restaurant server from San Francisco, California.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Sam Wo's )〕 He was often called the ''"world's rudest, worst, most insulting waiter"'' and worked at Sam Wo restaurant.
==Life==
Edsel Ford Fong was born and raised in San Francisco's Chinatown. He worked the second floor of the Sam Wo Restaurant on Washington Street. (The restaurant name means "three in peace", a reference to its founding partners.) As head waiter, Fong greeted visitors with an admonition to ''"sit down and shut up"''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Portola San Francisco )〕 He was known for calling patrons "retarded" and "fat", criticizing people's menu choices and then telling them what they should order, slamming food on the table, complaining about receiving only 15% tips, and groping female patrons.〔 An imposing man with a crew cut hair style, he also was notorious for seating people with strangers, forgetting orders, cursing, spilling soup on customers, hazing newcomers, refusing to provide forks or English menu translations, and busing tables before diners were finished.
Fong was made famous by columnist Herb Caen, who often described the misanthropic Fong during his visits to Sam Wo. Caen would interview Fong on matters of local politics and gossip, then reprint Fong's Yogi Berra-like responses, which Fong would in turn proudly show to his loyal regulars.〔 Caen included Fong in his guide of things to do in San Francisco, under ''"58. See the world's rudest waiter"''. Although genuinely rude, his style was self-conscious and his role at the restaurant was not just to serve food but also to be a resident "entertainer" and "madman".
