Have you ever worked in food service?
Yes.
McDonald's doesn't count anon
Never worked fast food.
I don't believe you because you would know that Subway isn't the same as a locally owned restaurant. Not even close. But I guess the average fat American can't tell the difference nowadays because they'll consume anything.
FRICK yeah dude. I don't give a frick. Shit goes IN my mouth, then OUT my ass.
All you European pussies constantly b***hing and whining about "flavor" and "culture". Like, I fricking know this isn't real Parmesan Luigi, now dump it on my pizza so I stuff it in down my gut, and get back to my football and Bill Oreily.
You're alright, burgerman
Why wouldn't McDonald's count?
>how is fast food different than a normal restaurant?
you americans are too far gone
Try responding again but this time don't seethe mindlessly that America exists and instead explain how serving food isn't food service. Not liking McDonald's or America doesn't make serving food not food service.
there's a difference between fast food and normal restaurants, especially when it comes to the way they run things.
a moron can work at mcdonalds, but not in a real restaurant.
There's a difference, yes. Fast food is set up to be fast with premade food and normal restaurants are made to-order. But both are food service.
>a moron can work at mcdonalds, but not in a real restaurant
Kek, you've never worked in a restaurant if you think morons don't work there. Most of the kitchen staff in restaurants are the same morons, alcoholics, dropouts, losers, ex-cons, etc. Even in fancy restaurants. No one wants to fricking chop carrots or wash dishes as a career, it's for losers with no other options. The only major difference with the staff is that real restaurants have actual chefs, hosts, waiters, etc. who are required to have some level of professionalism. The grunt work is performed by the same type of people at McDonald's.
>both are food service
but both are very different in terms of quality and the way that they run. A person who has assembled burgers at mcd's isn't a chef.
>Kek, you've never worked in a restaurant if you think morons don't work there.
they might be sweepers, but you don't see them making the food.
a lot of the drama in the bear comes from the fact that he's trying to bring back and maintain the quality of this established restaurant. Shit that could make or break the business and leave the people that work there out on the streets. You would not be able to do the same thing in a drama about mcdonalds because it's not nearly the same thing
frick off civvie, don't try and erase our service
what about burger king? >_<
Sit down, civilian. Trying to earn just one star on your name badge would break you. I had all four. I’m lovin’ it.
lelelel
Have you ever worked in live event production?
You sound like a civvie. I did my time. Veg-prep, line-cook, pizza oven, grill, bar, appies, sauces, salads... I've done it all and I've seen some shit.
Semper fry brother.
cook or die
gung dough, gung dough
lel
It does feel like the army though, doesn't it?
>You sound like a civvie
I enjoy this meme but does he actually equate cooking to military in the show?
Because cooking is one of the easiest jobs you can do but they’re all super stressed like they have PTSD from blowing people up
You know when you go to buy a car or furniture or whatever and the whole time you're just baffled by the sheer narcissistic autism of the salesman? Well, line cooks are basically that guy sans the social skills necessary to manipulate old people into adding tow packages to their SUV's.
I fricking despise pushy salesmen who act like they just took a bump of coke, and I can't be the only one.
I'm surprised there's not a market for people who will politely let you buy what you came for and get out.
yeah paying someone commission is incredibly anti-customer. it should die off with boomers because most people are capable enough to do their own research online now
Everyone despises it anon, I had an expierience where I was getting a car from an older white guy at a dealership for a friend. He was polite and tried his hardest to get us cleared but dear god every time the finance guy showed up I wanted to blow my brains out. He was a black guy bedazzled in a gold glittery tuxedo and spoke way to fricking loud. Like he did too much coke,
Anyway, there isn't a market because it's illegal to sell cars direct. Even now where car prices are online and competitive they don't even want to sell you car if you're not financing through them.
Oh and don't even try doing a trade-in, they WILL hold your ass hostage. I'm not talking social hostage I mean you will demand your keys after you get low-balls up the ass. And they will delay and irritate you until you have to unironically call the fricking cops.
I'm in luxury sales and let me assure you, the reason salesmen exist and are never going away is because the average person, wealthy or not, is genuinely too stupid to get through a typical buying process without making a catastrophic blunder.
They're also psychotic under stress, so social morons or narcissists end up doing super well in sales for the sole reason that they don't feel as much negative emotion when they're socially rejected. There's a real art to sales, and I can't count how many people I've seen cone in thinking that $100,000 a year fir "just talking to people" is easy.
one of them tried to give me a shoulder massage once because he said I was "too tense"
you didn't start dish b***h?? you dunno SHIT bud
I started as dish b***h. No matter how bad it is as a cook, it's worse as a dishwasher. My reward for making sure waiters and cooks had all their shit when they needed it was cleaning the giant stock pots while everyone else fricked around milking the clock.
When I was a cook I stuck around and helped the dishwasher finish his shit.
Two tours in Olive Garden, three at Outback, and an 18-monther in Applebee's. Civvies like you don't understand
It was in the middle of Covid. The supply chain was getting its first real "how do you do" from the lock downs. Top brass said we were gonna switch to pre-made dressings to save on ingredients. A week later they loosen the lockdowns. Things are busy. Cautious, but busy. The first shipment of pre-mades arrives. I'm the lucky schmuck who gets to haul it from the walk-in up to the line. The ranch came in 22kg bags. I threw two on each shoulder and started heading up to the line. What I didn't know was that the new dessert kid, fresh outta class, was tryin out his first banana parfait. Left a peel on the floor. I didn't see it. I went down. The ranch... it... I didn't mean to...
We were just kids brother. 18. Fresh out of high school. I had no idea what I was getting myself into.
I'm getting flashbacks from this post. I hope you're getting the help you need, brother.
There are good days and bad days. But the Lord has made his plan clear.
to this day my bro in law still has very, very, minor numbness/tingling on his ring finger-tip from a sautee gone wrong. if he gets a couple drinks in him he'll sometimes start to open up about his TGIF tours back in the late 80's - early 90's
I worked 4 years at an Indian restaurant. I’ve
Seen
Some
Shit
>Indian restaurant
Holy shit... We got a tier 1 operator here. I salute you friend.
Literally
The only job I've ever genuinely enjoyed was working at a sandwich place in college.
Manager was a total bro who would play King Gizzard and give people free edibles, and you could steal as much meat and ingredients as you wanted to cook with at home.
Yes. I spent 4 years in a high class culinary school and then worked for 3 months before quitting and going to just watch security feeds at a small mall all (heh) day long.
Yes. I smoked weed and fricked up orders all day. Never got fired. The standards in food service are set absurdly low.
No Im not poor
Yes. The free food was convenient. Not the best job I've had by a longshot but far from the worst, dunno why some people in the industry act like they've gone through war.
I worked in a 2 star restaurant and I currently work in a restaurant that's on its way to getting a star. You're a moron. Food service is piss easy as long as you have an IQ above 110. There's no shouting or spazzing out in my kitchens. That kind of behaviour would get you sacked really quick.
yes, and together with completely normal people serving food to normal people, no screaming, swearing or violence. No girlfriend, just go to work, go home.
Currently serving a tour at Disney world
I just wanted a simple sandwich, bro
Why did that israelite call snyder a cuck now he's johnny storm in fantastic four?
Not until you eat these eggs, Chef.
Is he supposed to be bipolar?
are there any restaurant show that *actually* depict what it's like working in a restaurant? I've never seen anyone as angry or abusing so many drugs like this show
It's an accurate depiction.
t. did the kitchen porting for a month at a busy restaurant
it isn't
t. worked in restaurants for 3 years
Sounds like your moronic manager didn't know how to do his job
Do you mean to tell me that kitchens aren't frantic work environments?
There's one guy on youtube doing 1 minute sketches about restaurants, he's hilarious and it's accurate, making fun of the guests, waiters, cooks etc.
Roll tide.
based
kitchen work is dogs work
so his mom had bpd, and so does he?
is that what we're supposed to get from this and the holiday gathering episode?
That episode was fricking brutal but also hilarious.
is this good stresskino? I love it when characters are constantly on edge
yes. uncut gems also good in that way
The editing and camera work sell the show. You get jarring cuts and fever dream long takes. It's unironically like you are living through it all alongside them. S2E6 is a fricking masterclass.
>HELP ME OUT HERE! I ONLY HAVE ONE LEG, GOD DAMN IT!
Anyone else serve in the dishwasher battalion?
Don't make me laugh. You weren't in the shit. You weren't even there.
Oh believe me, I was there. The entire kitchen would collapse without our strength. Dishwashers rise up!
Hell yeah son, I'm
draining the oil from the fryers duty, clean the vent blades, up and down the stairs of death to bring shit and clean fridges.
Shut the frick up hipster, actual working class is talking here.
My first tour. Had servers who left pools of ketchup and napkins on the plates. Line cooks who let the rotisseries dry and harden before bringing them back. Silverware pans that looked like nuclear sludge. I look back sometimes and ask myself "why?"
untermench subhuman goblin filth
Yep. The rubber gloves would give me a rash. Every night I'd be going home on the bus with swollen itchy hands.
WHO THE FRICK PREPPED THE POTATOES?
>AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH ONLINE ORDERS! SHUT IT DOWN FUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!
Anthony Bourdain and his consequences have been a disaster for the human race.
Good show. The scenes in Denmark were kino.
wtf is he doing in Denmark?
He sent his desert guy there for inspiration
This is me in any work environment because I'm a pussy that can't properly manage any stress whatsoever.
Why are chefs such degenerate drug addicts who plaster themselves with tattoos?
Cooking has an incredibly low bar for entry and modern celebrity chefs have perpetuated a culture around the occupation that has lots of the most degenerate individuals on earth thinking it's a fast track to stardom. Combine this with a rampant substance abuse scene and you get things like that picture.
Do main chefs like this get punched sometimes by their other staff?
I once saw two Mexicans going at it next to the dishwasher
i was a cantine line cook at a rather big company for a while. our chef was pretty much like OP describes. One day he started yelling at some albanian dish washer so the dude grabbed a steak fork and stabbed him multiple times. chef survived but got really antsy every time someone picked up a fork around him. no idea what happened to the albanian after the cops took him away.
>One day he started yelling at some albanian dish washer so the dude grabbed a steak fork and stabbed him multiple times.
I will never justify this behaviour. But I sure understand it.
Eh. If someone continuously gets up in your face and screams insults at you, I think stabbing him is a justified response. In fact, I don't even think you should be legally punished for it. The issue is that it's impossible to prove how much abuse you've suffered before you snapped. Unless you compiled all the recordings, but no one's doing that.
Point is, getting stabbed is the most likely outcome if you constantly act like a homosexual to someone.
yes. i worked fine dining as a waiter. went back to the kitchen one time and saw the 2 mains chefs full on fighting. i grabbed the one guy and pulled him off but the other guy kept swinging on him lol.
a few years later the main chef was killed in that restaurant and the other chef was charged with murder and is currently spending his life in prison. some insurance money scheme gone wrong or something. crazy stuff. i was even questioned by the police because i used to work there
THREE HUNGRY NEET SPECIALS I NEED 3 SPECIALS

COME ON THAT TOAST IS WAITING
I've only watched three episodes of this shit, but are you seriously telling me that them calling eachother Chef all the time isn't just an over the top absurd job about them taking the job too seriously in a way no one does IRL? That's what it seems like to me but I wouldn't know.
>tfw someone is crying in the designated vaping walk in
working at restaurants made me not want to go to a restaurant or coffee shop ever again, it's the worst working environment with the worst people, god bless working from home
>working at restaurants made me not want to go to a restaurant or coffee shop ever again
I think about this.
ALRIGHT I NEED 3CHICKEN TENDIES RIGHT NOW I DON’T CARE IF THEY’RE CRISPY OR FROM WENDYS I NEED THEM NOOOOOOOW
GET THE FRICKING TENDIES YOU FAT UNGRATEFUL SLUGGISH SOW
i work in a kitchen in philly and every guy besides me is a perma-stoned black guy. very relaxed environment
Kitchen work is great when you're in a kitchen with competent people (extremely rare) and is a nightmare when you're stuck with the other 90% of the population that are lazy, selfish, drug addicted frick up morons. I've not seen the show, but as someone that has worked in many kitchens, I can sympathize with this character that you guys are always taking the piss out of. It's probably similar in any other industry where there isn't some sort of degree or certificate required that weeds out the absolute dregs, but in a kitchen where you're literally working as hard and fast as you can most days of the week, having to babysit your fricking moronic co-workers will make anybody insane.
Have you not watched the show because it would trigger your PTSD?
ORDER UP
Celebrating the militancy expected in these kitchen scenes, is just perpetuating the illusion of a formal system of achievement indicative of discipline that they don't really have.
Hence the "French kitchen" style of martial governance.
And in tandem with this constant outrage, the delusion that it's equivalent to expertise, to be neurotically invested in what is often admitted to be a low bar of entry trade.
All of it, profiting off the masses' lowest cultural bar of food, which has become as epicurean as potato chips on a french omelette.
I liked the one with the forks and Richie. Could do without the petulant millenial writing swearing, but it is a reasonable context for all this regimented behaviour. You could argue a lot of this is the world of people born into service economies, who aspire to be the best working dog, and this permits them to be comfortable, in a society where you're always being made to doubt your success. Like a millenial.
The dinner episode did excellent depicting the "fall in or frick off" mentality of abusive relationships, at a family scale.
>NOOOO FRICK I LET THE RED BARON PIZZA THAW OUT BEFORE I BAKED IT AND NOW ITS ALL OVER THE OVEN FUUUUUUCK CHEFS WHAT AM I GONNA TELL COUSIN AHHHHHH

It always embarrassed Carmen Berzatto when civilians tried to speak to him in what they thought was “chef.” If it came to that, he hated thinking of them as civilians. What was a chef, if not a civilian with a uniform and a spoon? But they tended to use the term these days as a way of describing people who were not chefs. It was a dangerous habit: once chefs stopped being civilians the only other thing they could be was soldiers.
There's nothing more disgusting on this earth than some chubby tattoo'd arm "chef" daintily garnishing/plating a dish with a look of pure focus and seriousness on his stupid face
I served three years as a Waho manager.
I honestly blame that homosexual Anthony Bourdain for glamorizing an occupation which used to be only done by the lowest of the lows of society and making them out to be rockstars.
Beats being an electrical engineer at least
how does being a line cook beat making 200k a year as electrician. Or are you talking about being a 1% world famous tv cook?
How are you supposed to clean wire shelves in a walk-in fridge like these ones? Especially at the ends where it's a zigzag shape
I'm working in a place where they haven't been cleaned in years and I have no idea what the frick to do, Kitchen Nightmares glosses over that part.
A brush, get the hairs in there and knock the shit off. Put something beneath when you're doing it
Yeah a brush doesn't have to be wire.
civilians will never understand
