Compliments to the chef!

My mother tells a story that when she was in her early 20’s, she was the (only) chef in a small Spanish restaurant, in a tiny kitchen with a Mexican dishwasher.  One time, a food critic dined there, and enjoyed his paella so much that he went into the back to compliment the chef.  He saw the two and congratulated the dishwasher-who didn’t speak a lick of English- on a dish well made.
