A lot of news John knows about is from the waiters, other cooks or the tv mostly, after all a restaurant is a popular place to talk in and sometimes out of, it's not the waiter's fault that he overheard or the waitress stumbled upon the odd conversation which they repeat to other members of staff... It is the customer's fault for not being discreete about a certain matter in their minds, at least the rumors have more backing them then the tv does at times...
