Corrected entry: The "tacos" served by the award-winning, $1200-a-plate restaurant are woefully inadequate. Tacos are accompanied by chopped onion, cilantro, chopped chiles (usually serrano) and lime. Other toppings such as chopped pineapple, tomato, or avocado are optional. These so-called "tacos" are cold, stiff tortillas and meat.

Suggested correction: I just watched through the scene. The chef never once says that the restaurant has no bread. He only states that the guests will not be getting bread as part of this specific meal plan. Furthermore, we actually see a plate of bread at the start of the course, the dude-bro customers ask for bread since they know the chef has it, the notecard specifically discusses the bread that was made at the restaurant but won't be served, and another customer actually even specifically notes that the restaurant is known for their high-quality bread. Every single indication is that the chef absolutely has bread and is simply withholding it due to the theme of his dinner that night.
Suggested correction: He didn't say they didn't have bread. He stated THEY wouldn't get bread for that evening, since it's a common man's staple, and they are not the common man. So, they get a breadless bread plate with nothing but dipping sauces.
Bryce: You told them it was my birthday?
Dave: It seemed hilarious two hours ago.

Correction: In no way is this mistake. In fact, this mistake is quite incorrect for two separate reasons. First of all, it's not a "mistake" for a chef to serve a minimalist variation of a pre-existing dish. (Several of the chef's dishes have minimalist ingredients, in fact. He literally served a bread plate without bread.) Just because tacos are usually served a certain way doesn't make it a "mistake" if they're not. Second, beyond that, the fact it's only meat and tortillas actually relates directly to the plot, since the meat is a representation of the story he told about his father, while the tortillas have incriminating photos burned onto them.
