Chef Confessions

Love this!

How I feel when severs ask dumb questions

This is not an exaggeration… Not in the slightest

Ha! This makes me laugh every time I see it. And unfortunately, we do have young kids working in FOH and BOH who say stuff like this.

this was literally every single server we had on the floor tonight if anyone was wondering why I”m so drunk right now

We usually do about 250 covers per day. We have 600 reservations just for brunch. Good luck today everyone!

For the past two years we’ve 86d our whole menu. This year the chefs decided to stick with the special menu…. I can’t wait to be right when we’re ill prepared for that too. They also only scheduled themselves for brunch. There’s two of them and about three hundred covers. I’m happy to report nobody can hear their crys of help until two. The owner will probably be pissing himself at the bar.

Nope. Never happened to me> (straightens collar, and looks around nervously)

One of our servers on her first day ever was making ten gallons of ranch in the large mixer. Someone left the mixer on setting ten, the highest setting for that model. She turned it on. Ranch on the ceiling, ranch on the floor, ranch on the walls, ranch ALL OVER this poor little 5’ teenage girl. She sobbed for like twenty minutes. Thank god chef wasn’t there that day her job woulda been over.

We call that “reverse prepping”.

haha

I spilled 5 gallons of scrams all over the walk in one time

What’s scrams?

That looks just like my walk in…now I’m wondering

Let us know when you figure out which coworker did it lol

@gmeerkitten “Someone left the mixer on setting ten, the highest setting for that model.” Happened to me! I was gonna make 10Kg of Poolish. Gosh! SPLAT EVERYWHERE! Good thing my sous chef wasn’t there! I was an intern then at the Hotel. 😒

It’s definitely happened to me and I got flour everywhere so now I always check it before I start and also turn it down to one whenever I walk by and notice it’s higher.

Someone forgot to put the lid back on all the way and I was lifting the container to get the one under it and the entire thing spilled all over everything else including the wall and the floor, it was honey mustard.

Nothing compares to dropping hot Demi and burning yourself just a bit 😠

Charlie the Venus Flytrap wishes you a Merry Christmas

This just keeps getting more true as time goes on.

Working in a kitchen and slowly working on avoiding caffeine is fucking rough. 60 days to form a habbit. I need to get my shit together and get “healthy”

Over 48 hours without any caffeine and honestly I’m tired but not dying

5 days now. Got up at 8am to play ice hockey before work sunday and still felt great at the end of the day 14 hours later

Props! I’m trying to cut back my soda habit and its. so. fucking. hard. :(

It sucked at first but at this point I don’t even want soda anymore.

It wouldn't be so bad if I could drink flavored sparkling waters, just to have some bubbles at least. All the flavored waters I've tried are just not good to me.

Someone sent back a salad today because “the blue cheese is moldy”… …

Hahahahahaha!!! Oh my goodness this job really changes your opinion on the average person…

Doesn’t it though? lmfao

So much! Usually for the worst, unfortunately… And people send things back for the most idiotic reasons and expect discounts… I had a table tell me the kid din’t like his food, no good reason, just that he took one bite and didnt like it, so they didn’t want to pay for it. I just wanted to be like “Dude, he made the choice, and you let him, I’m not giving you free food because you haven’t taught your child to live with his decisions,” but then I remembered I need their money, so…

Someone sent back a salad today cause it has too much lettuce, isn’t that the main ingredient

Mothers day brunch “one and a half egg omelette with 7 pieces of broccoli and mayo instead of cheese”

Pray tell how does one cut an egg in half?

“This mushroom risotto tastes like mushrooms”

How is it not common sense that if an ingredient is in the item name that means it’s got a starring role in the dish??

My favorite customer complaint I remember hearing was that our rib special “had no love in it” and my buddy said “that’s because we cook with spite and anger”.

This ^^^^^^^^

Ah, rage. Line cook fuel. Smells like sleep deprivation and “Kitchen Bouquet.” Tastes better than the tears of angels.

I had a customer the other day want a full refund because their beef was a little too salty and had too much cheese. They literally ordered nachos. Lol.

One of my customers sent back an Asian Chicken Salad because she’s vegetarian and she didn’t know that it came with chicken.

Had a guy send back a steak and mash potatoes coz he didn’t realise that we season the steak and that our mashed potatoes had cream and butter in them. The guy literally threw a temper tantrum and threatened our servers.

we had a table send back a burger split last night because it “didn’t taste quite the same as last time”. not “it wasnt good”. it didnt taste the same. one bite out of each side. into the garbage. god i hate the rich

im honestly disappointed that the raw water thing faded from public consciousness without us hearing about even a single insane rich fuck dying of some medieval disease
