I Understand Just A Little, No Comprende, It’s A Riddle

Some enterprising cable network should make a reality show/cage match called “Front Of House Vs. Back Of House”:

An angry waiter . . . picked up one of the normally dull [butter knife] blades during a brawl in the legendary [Algonquin] hotel’s eatery and wound up stabbing a sous chef and a host, police said.

Jesus Payano, 43, was arrested for assault after the fight, which began at about 5 p.m. at the West 44th Street hotel.

The trouble started when sous chef Christopher Goodwin got angry because Payano was playing a radio, and shut it off.

The dispute escalated, and Payano allegedly grabbed the knife and slashed Goodwin in the hand.
