Fallout: New Vegas Hints

(OPTIONAL) Use the intercom to call in the head waiter.

  • 1 of 4: It's best to finish the "(OPTIONAL) Get rid of Philippe and cook for the banquet using his recipe ..." objective before doing this one.
  • 2 of 4: There's an intercom on the wall next to the wine cellar's doorway that you can use.
  • 3 of 4: However, using it won't do any good unless it's between 7 pm and 10 pm. If it's not, wait until it is, then use the intercom again.
  • 4 of 4: The head waiter will appear in the kitchen corridor, but will probably just meander around or stop near Philippe's doorway. Go down to the very SW end of the kitchen area and through the door to the White Glove Members Only Section area. You should see that all of the White Glove people are passed out. Return to the kitchen and be ready to fight the head waiter, who sometimes sticks around and turns hostile for no good reason.
