Worth the Wait
In honor of National Waiters and Waitresses Day, ZAGAT.com catches up with 21 Club's Eddie Cordero, now in his 31st year as a waiter at Manhattan's fabled 21 Club. After coming to the U.S. from Chile in 1976, Cordero was quickly promoted to waiter his first year, and has since been promoted to captain, the highest rank for a server there. We asked Cordero to tell us about the job, how it's changed and what's kept him going.
