Thank you in advance for any insight!
Long story cut short - I have a housemate, who upon learning that I was in the process of setting up a Supper Club asked if we could do it together. I agreed - 50/50. I worked on a new business concept and logo - he was elastic and loved it. I had one condition before he and I could become a business partner - we needed to cook for our Chef by trade - although I am not trained, I am a chef taught chef and work as a private chef for few clients. (I have other businesses that I run as well!)
Fast forward Saturday - the day to see and test us cooking together - he woke up hangover - I told him that I would manage for few hours but needed him in the afternoon as our dinner was arranged for 6 pm. Instead of sleeping his hangover off - I think he drunk more and took more drugs - when I saw him around 12 pm, I said he really needed to sober up, no alcohol or drugs. I don't do drugs at all, so not even sure what kind he is really into.
The man helped with zero prep, zero cooking and zero anything - he went to the shop and bought a few bottles of wines. Fast forward, our guests - apparently, his could not make it. We are right now doing aperitif and he decides to take off his shoes and socks in the garden, never seen anything so gross.....
He then used some of the worst racial comments to our guests with every now and again saying that he needed, "five minutes in his room" and each time he came back, he was as high as a kite. Insisted on cooking the ribeye steak and right in the middle of us eating, he left the table because he needed his fucking five minutes in his room alone.
My guests were so puzzled and I told them that he had been working too hard and as tired - I lied - the man is ...... I cannot even bring myself to say the words. Sunday, I stayed in bed to avoid us meeting and texted him that we could not be business partners.
Why am I so upset? I was embarrassed, yes! I was disappointed, yes! But should I be upset? Why am I upset? My guests have sent me messages saying that they enjoyed the food and experience.
