Whenever I hear a young person talk about joining the armed forces I tell them to get a job in the food service industry first to decide whether or not this country is worth fighting for.
Working in the food service industry for 15 years, I have mad love and respect for our cooks. It's so hot back there, not to mention extremely stressful. Cooks don't get the recognition they deserve.
@@harverc229 Yes sir, as a cook I resent having to go back to wash the dishes, although it is part of the job. Dishwashers are the reason us cooks can do our jobs as efficiently as we do. The backbone of the kitchen. If they're hungry, I don't hesitate to treat them.
@@kevinsteel7875 I used to be a dishwasher a few years back I think during my senior year of high school. I feel the cooks though. The fact that you can last for a very long time and getting risks from getting scars from oil to having a rare change of losing your hand from fire is damn insane and impressive. I respect you of all people. However it doesn’t mean some can get a pass to be bossy just because they are the harder workers. I remember they treated me like shit from talking shit to actually being bossy. When I meant bossy,I meant they literally give me tasks. A lots of times on purpose. In fact they make me do things for them than even the manager. Not to mention they bring cooking equipments that looked like it was already released from the fishing machine while smirking. During delivery day,I have to organize the freezer with the boxes and store food products by myself while those guys were just on their phones. As a result by the time I finish storing stuffs,I would see pile of dishes stacked on the table. Whenever we have to clean the floor Matts. They want me to clean their Matt’s too sometimes I have to clean their floors after they leave. They leave earlier than me. They even hold my check and threaten to send me home which only the manager deals with. Lastly I asked them to cook me some food but they will either pretend to make it and never do it or simply say no instantly and this was during slow days. I Didn’t bother asking them for food so I had brought my lunch from home. Guess what? they would get mad and tell me to eat it at home cause I got chores to do. For those reasons I got careless and brought dirty dishes just to f#%* with them. Only one cook who I at least trusted made my food. I work in the mornings to to 4 but this guys arrives at 5 or 6 from his first job but that day he arrived earlier. Since the morning cooks leave earlier than me at 3 I ate my food peacefully and when I was eating the asshole who hold my check came back to the restaurant and told me that I am fired because I keep clocking out late and the fact I got food without his permission. I told him that you keep giving me too much tasks that half of those tasks the cooks could’ve done themselves and the fact you are abusing and starving an employee. He forced me to throw it away so guess what I smashed food right across his face so we fought. With all my rage I had him pinned down. Of course I got fired after that but the guy kept his job really!? I was young so I didn’t know how to sue him or the restaurant so it’s too late to file a lawsuit. To this day I never came back to the restaurant not even to dine in. Sorry if it offended you. Just saying they are a Lot of people who are like this in the food industry.
This right here makes me miss cooking on the line at a breakfast spot. When you get in that zone it just makes you feel amazing. Good job guys. What we don't see probably is the 10 or so tickets on the left. Controlled chaos right there
I’m not a cook but I feel the same way when I get booked for gigs. The same way the guy with glasses is just going ham with the omelet and eggs reminds me of just jumping into the crowd taking pics. I know it’s not the same as what he’s doing, I just thrive better in chaos.
When you're a cook on a line or out at raw bar and you're getting steady tickets in and you just hit that just right speed of controlled panic where you're feeling the adrenaline but you're controlling it is the best feeling in the world
Ayy, just cuz you can't do the job doesn't mean these guys are great. First like 5 secs they are spilling shit, they are cross-contaminating like a mf (dirty rags), no gloves, super basic presentation, etc. This is short order cook shit.
@@shakerson if you go to a place like ihop or dennys expecting the utmost cleanliness from people who are paid little to nothing while breaking their backs. Well keep dreaming.
@@chaychay374 If you are at an Ihop or Dennys and you aren't new to the job, you aren't on your shit regardless. Not using a fucking floor rag to wipe out a pan that you are about to cook someone else's food in isn't the "utmost cleanliness", it's basic respect for another human. I'm not defending employers paying shit, but if you really rock shit in a kitchen, you won't stay at fast food joints unless you're also dumb.
@@shakerson i personally am not a cook who works dirty, i pride myself in keeping clean, but i know cooks who dont and have done much worse than this towel thing, you cant overshadow the hard work here with what is a minor mistake.
As a line cook myself with almost 2 decades of experience...These are my people...Restaurant workers are the funnest bunch of people to all go out with and hang out...They like a big family...We earn it through blood, sweat, burns and tears...Busy restaurant work takes a special breed...Not for the faint of heart.
It's just cooking dude. There's a reason ya'll make minimum. Shit is simple. Literally everyone does it. Try construction, brick laying, electrical work, automotive repair etc. You know, shit that actually takes skill & talent. People don't respect cooks for a reason. There's very little skill or talent required. Millions of people can cook an egg or a steak. Can't say the same for electricians, carpenters or masons.
@@Cjs3315 it's not as easy as it looks. I'd like to see you do what they're doing. It's not as simple as cooking an egg or a steak. Yeah sure lots of people can do it when they're cooking for themselves. But can you do it for a multitude of people, all wanting their shit cooked differently, and being quick and precise about it? Shit after 5 minutes your ass would be running out of the kitchen.
This is only 16 mins cant imagine a full 8-12 hr shift doing what they do nonstop nothing but props and respect to these guys hopefully they are well compensated for that hard work they put in day in day out
It's pretty intense. But hella fun and stressful. I've been a cook a long time and I've been there many times. Definitely not for the feint of heart. But if you have the perseverance. It's great experience
@@meto4837it depend on restaurant some are consistently busy , the rush may be a two hours for breakfast and 2 hours for lunch and the cooks still have to prep their stations after any rush and prep for next shift. Then consistently cleaning hopefully .
It depends on the management. No one should be forced to work like that even for a few hours. Even McDonald's usually treat their personnel better. Hire more cooks, or close your business if you don't know how to run a restaurant.

@@frisco9568 friend let me tell you something, you're talking to someone who runs restaurants for a living and I also manage my own team at the moment. I've been in the Culinary industry for over 10 years. I've seen all kinds of kitchens, I agree kitchens get dirty but my question is are they supposed to be dirty and can we prevent it? No he does not have the demeanor of a good line cook I would fire him instantly after seeing this type of performance, nothing personal but that's how it is. When you work in HIGH END restaurants you will see the difference, im not looking down on the guy I'm simply stating that the way he is cooking food that has to go in someone's body and he is not doing the proper job. Also by the way No kitchen should ever be dirty, a good cook/chef can manage himself well cleaning and cooking at the same time.
These cooks are truly amazing! The amount of stress and dedication to the profession is beyond commendable. I don’t think there is ANY amount of money that could compensate these men for their work. Watching this almost takes my breath away. PLEASE pay them what they are worth.
@@carloswashere7787 Gloves were a covid regulation goodluck finding high end chefs using gloves as a chef myself i’d like to see you step into the kitchen as for the hairnet is hair is not down to his shoulders but a hat is recommended
I remember doing this at a burger and steak house this is why I loved to cook and help I love this kind of work! And you get practice on your multitasking
I think people in the food industry deserves so much credit for creating and helping, maintain the modern world we live in. Imagine that guy who fix your coffee in the morning or your egg sandwich or whatever the meal maybe. Think how better they make our lives. So please don’t attack these people don’t belittle them. They are critical to the American economy just as important as Wall Street, because they feed the people who power wall street.
naw man if you have solid guys who all have specific duties, and a floater you can cook like this. having to communicate over and over again is a sign your kitchen is weak js
@@exandious867 just our style, not all our food is in the same place so asking people to pass things or help out on certain things is common. it may be my kitchen is weak but I personally don't think so
Takes a special breed to do this type of work! I was a line cook at TGIFridays for a few years. Back when more food was from scratch. I worked saute,Broiler and window . Also expo. We use to Rock shit out! It was also done without computers at each station. Basically you had to listen for what the window cook called out. I really don;t know how we did it some nights!
Gives me PTSD everytime I watch it. Those early weekend mornings right after church were the worst. This is why I never badger or question where my food is
Breakfast is a literal beast of it's own. Only a very select few can crush a constant slammed breakfast run and make it thru. Then theres others that hit a rail or 2, drink a red bull and a monster, smoke 6 Marlboros and completely knock it out ready to rock at 3 AM and beast mode thru it till 1045. My people
I don’t know why the stress doesn’t put me away from this industry but i absolutely love my job even though it’s completely hectic, i enjoy the challenge
The stress for me is sorta addicting. I've only been in it for 3 years, but something about it is empowering. You can use the stress in a healthy way to improve and push your limits
Only cooking experience I have is cooking rice and chow mein at Panda Express, even though it wasn’t as intense as this I still enjoyed the fact that you get into a flow once the orders start coming in and everything you do the kitchen is damn near muscle memory it feels dope Af.
Ppl don't realize how hard this is. Especially when you get like 4 parties of 5+ all ordering breakfast in a 10 minute span. Sheesh. Glad I'm done with that life
This Kitchen has great commutation and everyone is doing so great to work together, but can you give a hand to the man cooking the eggs! He is killing it!
@@ShG2022 in the us the kitchen alone is very very expensive. a very small skeleton kitchen for just a cafe i calculated to something like 100-140k usd i forget
You have to understand. We aren't cooks for the money. Generally speaking most of us cook because we have a passion for it. Not to mention it's really the only industry left where pc culture hasn't infected it. We curse like sailors, we nake dark jokes that would get you canceled anywhere else. Nothing like getting in the weeds and having to claw your way out of it. And for that reason there is a level of camaraderie that you won't find in any other industry.
Some people don't understand. Clean, washed hands are safer than using gloves. When you use gloves you tend to wash less your hands and the gloves needs to be changed constantly (not feasible during work). Keep your station and your hands clean, that is the best practice.
Yes that is true of what you've said and even fine dining restaurant chefs dont even use gloves or even a hat and people are paying hundreds or maybe even a thousand or more and some of them don't even keep their hands clean
@@DanOldMan thats why everything is clean, even the trash and floor. the trash is only stuff u just threw away and isnt left to rot and he touched the bag. floors are always cleaned (hopefully). sometimes rags have bleach water. commercial eggs are usually safer than consumer eggs. unfortunately during crunch time there isnt time to be extra careful, so keeping everything clean is the best next thing
It's not easy to walk away from your station in ihop reason why they need to make bigger ihops and higher more ppl for eggs and pancakes I've worked there for some years and I can tell you that it's not easy at all to have to run off and wash your hands when you have to run off and grab more eggs and make more batter for the pancakes and other essentials
They have the timing down! Guy just finished heating up the tortilla on the flat top, as soon as he placed it down, other chef put the eggs on top of the tortilla! They got it down, respect!
People don’t understand how fast you have to be to work on the line. I was a line cook for 2 years while I was going to culinary school and then a chef for 9. If you work in a faced paced kitchen you are literally on your feet back and forth for 10-16 hours. No break! I was sometimes working 80-100 hours a week. Only the strong survive In a kitchen and this is coming from someone who’s retired also from the Marine Corps. Working in a kitchen is not for the faint hearted. I’ve seen new guys legit just walk off the line and quit because they can’t handle the pace and the tickets won’t stop coming in. I’ve seen people have legit breakdowns. So I give props to anyone who works in a restaurant especially the kitchen. They are so under appreciated.
i used to work at a brunch spot that was open from 8am-8pm. sometimes shifts would be from 7 in the morning and finish closing up damn near 11pm. good times.
Ya know, a lot of shit about these jobs frustrate me, but one of the things I love is that there really is almost a dance when everyone gets into the swing of it. It's almost a natural human instinct. Like the awareness and movement of everyone on the line just becomes almost supernaturally synchronized if you've worked together for a while and that's kinda neat. This also makes me miss the guys at my old job a lot 😭 I keep bumping into people even if I say 'hot pan' or 'swing' because they're not used to me being there.
I don’t know why you ever stop uploading man but I really hope you one day pick it back up. I love this kind of shit and you’re really good at what you do bro trust me been in the industry over 20 years.
That saute chef got some skills man. Making omelettes is a craft in itself.. All these other ppl don't understand. Yeah it gets busy on the line. But line cooks the ones that have a passion to cook. This isn't work.. Thanks for this upload ✊
This is why I’m always patient with the food even though it takes a while. I know the kitchen is busy, i never complain or make a fuzz. I would never be able to do that, I’m slow at everything 😂

Keep your station and your hands clean, that is the best practice.
Yes that is true of what you've said and even fine dining restaurant chefs dont even use gloves or even a hat and people are paying hundreds or maybe even a thousand or more and some of them don't even keep their hands clean
Yes this is true but this egg chef touched the trash can, raw egg, his rag, dropped his rag on the ground, etc, his hands aren’t clean
@@DanOldMan I noticed that real quick! Yet- he's robotic!
@@DanOldMan thats why everything is clean, even the trash and floor. the trash is only stuff u just threw away and isnt left to rot and he touched the bag. floors are always cleaned (hopefully). sometimes rags have bleach water. commercial eggs are usually safer than consumer eggs. unfortunately during crunch time there isnt time to be extra careful, so keeping everything clean is the best next thing
It's not easy to walk away from your station in ihop reason why they need to make bigger ihops and higher more ppl for eggs and pancakes I've worked there for some years and I can tell you that it's not easy at all to have to run off and wash your hands when you have to run off and grab more eggs and make more batter for the pancakes and other essentials
Lol... I recognize that.... My feet are killing me lift. Lol. Been there done that. Great work guy's!
They have the timing down! Guy just finished heating up the tortilla on the flat top, as soon as he placed it down, other chef put the eggs on top of the tortilla! They got it down, respect!
Hope these guy's are well paid what an art too keep up this pace and standard 👍👍👍
Nothing like those slightly euphoric quite dim lit early morning opens and late night closes.. i miss those sounds.
Wow 👌 Great job CHEF ❤You're moving so fast, I can't keep up 😂
I hate working in restaurants. I worked mostly in front of the house for 8 years. Will not go back to it again.
God works and it’s beyond rewarding. The rush you feel during a busy night. Nothing like it.
No wasted motion constant flow of positive incredible!
Why do I love this video so freaking much. Thank you for the uploaded
The co-ordination is off them charts man......amazing.
Time flies when you're having fun.
I HAMMER EM!!!
People don’t understand how fast you have to be to work on the line. I was a line cook for 2 years while I was going to culinary school and then a chef for 9. If you work in a faced paced kitchen you are literally on your feet back and forth for 10-16 hours. No break! I was sometimes working 80-100 hours a week. Only the strong survive In a kitchen and this is coming from someone who’s retired also from the Marine Corps. Working in a kitchen is not for the faint hearted. I’ve seen new guys legit just walk off the line and quit because they can’t handle the pace and the tickets won’t stop coming in. I’ve seen people have legit breakdowns. So I give props to anyone who works in a restaurant especially the kitchen. They are so under appreciated.
I was in the same situation lucky for me I got promoted to management since then I don't work the line to often unless is an emergency
That towel is unacceptable😂 Busy its ok,fast paced environment is awesome,but food safety is a must 😉
Just what I was looking for. I can’t tell you why but this is a comforting video.
As a previous line cook all line cooks have my respect ✊🏻.
The guy with the glasses man…..he’s the fastest out of the bunch. Amazing!!!
La raza mexicana siempre rifando 🇲🇽❤️
I hear corporate calling, no gloves. Just kidding, that kitchen flow looks fun.
The only type of fun that pays the bills 😂
Hard work...no bullshit...getting shit done!!! Good job guys!
FUNK CHA MADDA
Anybody that works there ass off I give respect!
"Heh, yeah I could do this in my sleep. Nothing special..."
"Huh? Yeah, I've never had a job before, how could you tell?"
good work but I can't get over how those mats are laid out lol. you took slip resistant mats and turned them into tripping hazards
Why am I watching this before my shift. I’m about to have to do this exact same thing for hours ha ha
To everyone that line cooks: thank you for your hard work and for making us good eats.
I'm an air traffic controller and don't think I could handle the stress and fast pace of a kitchen like that.
Yeah the towel thing gave me a lil anxiety 🤣
What part of the video was that at?
4:59 the cook drops his rag, then wipes all the pans with it... 😅
Shutup seriously
5 second rule
⏲
Bro I seen multiple food violations
forreal tho 🤢🤢
I see this restaurant has already replaced one of their cooks with a machine ;)
i used to work at a brunch spot that was open from 8am-8pm. sometimes shifts would be from 7 in the morning and finish closing up damn near 11pm. good times.
I saw another video of these guy’s cooking, they are the fastest cook’s I’ve ever seen!
Respect for those men, I'm a chef and do the very same thing everyday
If you’re a chef you probably just bitch at us poor line boys who are doing the actual cooking lmao
Fantastic work, guys!
Ya know, a lot of shit about these jobs frustrate me, but one of the things I love is that there really is almost a dance when everyone gets into the swing of it. It's almost a natural human instinct. Like the awareness and movement of everyone on the line just becomes almost supernaturally synchronized if you've worked together for a while and that's kinda neat. This also makes me miss the guys at my old job a lot 😭 I keep bumping into people even if I say 'hot pan' or 'swing' because they're not used to me being there.
I call it El Baile De Fuego y Cuchillos….The Fire and Knives Dance
Holy shit that's some cookin!!!!! 💯💯💯💯💯. I bust my tail where I work at and this group is no different. Awesome job guys!
Yo! This was smooth. Very relaxing.
I don’t know why you ever stop uploading man but I really hope you one day pick it back up. I love this kind of shit and you’re really good at what you do bro trust me been in the industry over 20 years.
I work at Denny’s, the graveyard shift, and sometimes dinner shit. These guys are amazing, they make it look easy.
aww i miss working in the kitchen, i hope i get to work there again soon 🩷
Dude flips with the sickness!!
Damn this crew looking solid af
love this video you all doing great man🙏🙏🥰🇯🇲🇧🇸
I love line cooks but he did drop his towel and pick it up , then wiped the pans with it
I dont know none of them, but one thing i know for sure is all them love working with the short guy. That dude play no games.
I will pretend he did not wipe the dirt from the floor onto the pan since everyone else is pretending it is okay.
Yeah all these bad ass chefs commenting how good these guys are are forgetting to ad that tasty little secret ballet of drop and recover, ew gross
It's all good until the local food inspector shows up for his random walk through
That saute chef got some skills man. Making omelettes is a craft in itself..
All these other ppl don't understand. Yeah it gets busy on the line. But line cooks the ones that have a passion to cook. This isn't work..
Thanks for this upload ✊
I've been a cook for 10 years now and I always make sure the food is ready for the dishwashers by the time they're done with them 😎💯
I'm the guy that says go away to myself every time customers walk in but I do their order as needed.
This is like watching UFC. People who don't get it are bored. People who get it are watching every move and screaming "holy shit".
Saute station dude is in the zone.. loved that feeling..
Dude grabbing those pan handles with out a towel is bold. Learned that the hard way
Mad respect to the hero that dropped the stuff on the ground and picked it up and continued to use it you creep
lol I just saw that too. As a line cook I understand but take a second to throw the towel in the wash bin and wash your hands. And put some gloves on.
Money in the pinstripe pants is getting down fr dawg. They all hustlin
My people are the hardest workers there are. Hell yeah. Work that kitchen 👌
That phone rang and I immediately jumped up to get it lmao. I’ve been conditioned
Towel never leaves his hand… that takes me back
You guys work very well together,
This is why I’m always patient with the food even though it takes a while. I know the kitchen is busy, i never complain or make a fuzz. I would never be able to do that, I’m slow at everything 😂
this looks just like a kitchen i saw off facebook but it was a night shift and it had music in the video.
Hard to find guys like this nowadays. This guy has it.
I have it. Or had. Until my knee. It’s not wounded or hurt. I just don’t fucking care anymore.
0:50
You can see that heat distributing through those eggs or whatever he was flipping,f***ing nice.
And Hector gave them all a line. Before work😂
This is why i don't question why some people smoke or why cigarettes companies are still in business.
