A seminary dropout-cum-mental-health-care worker, The Waiter, Steve Dublanica, waited his first table at age 31. In 2004, he started his wildly popular blog, WaiterRant.net, eventually winning the 2006 Bloggie Award for Best Writing of a Weblog. He has been interviewed by media outlets nationwide, including “The Oprah Winfrey Show” and “Today,” as a voice for many of the two million waiters in the United States. The Waiter lives in the New York metropolitan area with his joint-custody dog, Buster, and is at work on his second book.
