That's infuriating.

The Chef could have everything for sale always. If the customer is such a regular, just kindly suggest he try this other awesome thing. I'd never come back if a business told me I can't have my favorite thing tonight because they want to act like my parents and help me grow.

Thinking you need to rotate the menu so people try new things is so infantilizing.

The words you use show how you think.

He doesn't NEED to rotate anything. He WANTS to. It's his restaurant. (I doubt that getting people to try new things is the only reason, either; there's probably quite a bit of "I don't feel like getting bored making this pasta dish night after night", too.)

And you are ABSOLUTELY WELCOME to reject that model, and refuse to patronize his restaurant. He's totally okay with that.

So are the people lined up outside, waiting for a table. You refusing to come in means that line is shorter.
