“How to get the best service at any restaurant,” reads the caption of the video shared on Instagram. The video opens to show content creator Topper Guild saying, “I am gonna take this notebook into a five-star celebrity restaurant and act like a food critic to see if they treat me any differently.” Guild claims that as he enters the restaurant, the staff seats him immediately and offers him water right away. As Guild scribbles in his notebook, he places an order and is impressed how quickly the food arrives. He raves about the delicious flavours, wondering, “Is it always like this or is it because I have the notebook?” As the video goes on, the manager even brings him a surprise dish, a slice of their famous ‘lobster golden pizza.’ To top it off, the restaurant sends out every single dessert on the menu. When the bill arrives, Guild is shocked to find that the food is completely free.
