A hotel chef who met and took a picture with his hero Axl Rose<\/a> says he has no regrets despite later being fired for breaking his employer’s rules over interacting with guests.<\/p>\n

According to Peru news outlet Bajo Piura Noticias 2.0, Richard Perez Cuzcano was a chef at a Marriott Hotel in Lima when Guns N’ Roses<\/a> were in town for a performance at Estadio Nacional earlier this month.<\/p>\n

A lifelong Guns N’ Roses fan, Cuzcano was thrilled to be cooking for the band’s frontman and eventually took his chance and asked Rose if he would pose for a picture with him.<\/p>\n

The vocalist was happy to do so and Cuzcano posted the picture on social media along with a caption quoting lyrics from GNR track November Rain.<\/p>\n

He added: “How do I explain to my younger self that this will happen in a few years, that one day he’ll become a chef and one night he’ll cook like never before for W. Axl Rose?<\/p>\n

“And that he’ll shake his hand. Was it worth it? It was, it is, and it will continue to be worth it until my last day.”<\/p>\n

Soon after, he was fired for apparently breaking a Marriott policy which prohibits staff from interacting with guests outside the scope of their work duties.<\/p>\n

Cuzcano later told Bajo Piura Noticias 2.0: “I was the chef of the restaurant, I took a picture with Axl Rose himself after cooking for him. Got fired yesterday for breaking that rule.”<\/p>\n

The news outlet’s readers have jumped to the chef’s defence, slamming the hotel for its “excessive and unfair” response.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A hotel chef who met and took a picture with his hero Axl Rose says he has no…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":375804,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[185,171,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-375803","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-celebrities","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-united-states","11":"tag-unitedstates","12":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115542106332765987","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/375803","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=375803"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/375803\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/375804"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=375803"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=375803"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=375803"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
