Worked at a steakhouse, prepping over 200kg of beef to make hamburgers, cutting steaks and prepping the mis en place. First week I felt sick to my stomach, the pressure, heat and swears were too much. But I endured, learnt the whole menu (over 40 different burgers with different toppings and fillings) and did more and more. The hours were extreme but the pay was great at the end of the week. One day the boss/chef comes in and was laughing at the easy flow of orders coming in, I was focused on delivering the ingredients and getting the commands out. Then he calls me by my full name and says there was a f**k up with a client, the bread was cold (piece of mind that was not my station) he looks at me and grabs the hot burger and throws it at my face, hitting me hard and everyone just looks at me not in shock more with relief, small grins on their faces. I stared at the owner, my eyes piercing his face, I could see on the corner of my eyes the others put their heads down and continued while the boss was ripping me a new one.
Turns out the bread used was to be thrown out, my job to get it done but not before service, I had placed a cover and label over the basket saying to not use. My colleague didn't read sh*t and just used it cos he wanted to make up for lost time. When he realised he screwed up, his head was down, so where the others. I was alone for that brief moment just gazing into the bosses eyes. When he left it was then and there I decided to leave. I had enough.
That was my last week and weeks later others followed my path, found out they had to put 5 cooks in my place (at the same time) cos they couldn't manage the station.
Years later I met the boss again, he told me he knew it was the others but had to make an example so he used me as one...I told him I know in this business it's not fair, but to accommodate them rather than keeping the good one you lost. I later left the country and worked solo, becoming number 1 in the whole city I was working at and did the best.
But that night, I'll never forget
this sounds pretty fake, whats your name and restaurant? sounds way too good to be true
@@Goatjo_lethimcook it's in Italy the place is called timeout steakhouse
@@lexghostman thanks for letting me know, I’ll message you before I visit
@@Goatjo_lethimcook well I don't work there anymore and this was about 10 years ago...I have since moved on...different country different job
Yeah that just didnt happen in reality did it.
My chef threw me a cabbage and I throw it back we fought and next day we celebrate 😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
‘Salmon’ was a better version.
I remember doing a trial shift for an apprentice chef position. The head chef arranged for it to be on the night of a big catering job for a wedding, I guess to test how well I could take as much pressure as possible. As I was working I was talking to another staff member and having a laugh, the chef screamed at us "stop fucking talking and laughing and work!", I was helping with plating the meals up things with him yelling "stop making a fucking mess!", so I thought I was doing terribly. He was insulting the wedding party the whole shift, yelling profanities at everyone, it was bad. At the end of the night he was a different man, casually chatting and laughing with his staff over a cigarette, he told me I did great and he would love to take me on as an apprentice. I never went back 😂
service is service. there is no need to take what happens on the service as personal
@@user-mv3gn3be3jye classic psycho talks...had a chef talk me that dogshitt talk when I was 17 starting in restaurant...now 25 I would never aloww some piece of trash treat me that way
It's your loss. You lost a good mentor. I faced a similar situation earlier in my career and I am glad I decided not to take the insults personally.
@@apratimdinda9670 Just say you have no self esteem.
He was relieving his stress by treating you like shit. Its disgusting how accepted it is. Excusing It with things like "well he is a really good cooker/mentor, only service matters" etc
Truth is, this is an awful way to deal with it, by putting it on others, and yeah people arent perfect, there's much pressure going on, the problem is no desire to change because its seen as normal and not as an improvable aspect. They teach u how to cook but not how to deal with stress.
already no chef or cook would throw away food just because there is 10 grams more or less... (even less salmon!) and then me, a chef gets angry like that with me in the middle of service I'm breaking!
Food waste is such a fkn crime. I dont`t care if there`s pressure in the industry. Food waste has got to stop.
Work in an office do you?
Amazing! People need to push other people and themselves to the perfection
Awesome
🔥🔥👏👏👏💪💪💪 kitchen life
No chef should ever throw away food that way. It's a sin. Need to respect your ingredients!
Never fucked up before?
Quite realistic, I could feel all the anxiety of the the kitchen 🙃
Yep that’s how it goes
for a moment then i thought they were both going to kiss at the end ...
Not a chef but a starter cook i threw onion on my staff face for having attitude in the kitchen 😂
modern slavery, but it is romanticized
❤❤
Well… that’s a pretty chill atmosphere to be fair.
Though that myself.
PTSD KITCHEN 😂
Thanks
good but ı'm hungry
YES CHEF REAL KİCKHEN
❤ love it , can do attitude 🎉
#positive
Well done young man
A loot off salamon been wasted, could do nice staff food 😮
I will said , that a profit bro.
Quite realistic except from all that salmon going in the bin, the guys GP must be wild lol. Even in it isn't up to the chefs standard you would never find a chef throwing away perfectly good produce like that.
Why i can't stand those scenes in the bear with carmy only throwing food.
@binkbaf I tried watching it, think I got to season 3 but I was doing a 12hr shift then coming home to watch someone else do a 12hr shift. It was too much lol
Anyone who passed in this situation hit me like and let's talk each it was sad moment but when you realize that it was funny ♥️
yeah, u really don't wanna put oil on burning wounds, water > rest
thats pickling solution or something acidic
Some headchef are just very cruel and dumb, but a lot of them have the pressure on themselves, as they are responsible for what goes out the kitchen...so I can understand that aspect of it...but rather tell the young lads how it is done...and show techniques, and make them get the feeling for the ingredient rather than pushing a specific number...120 grams is very specific, and the customer wouldnt notice the difference between 118 and 122 grams...so give the guys a rest...ps...I have worked at pretty good places as a chef in my life. So I would know.
All the movies about cheffing is bullshit i can't wait for the proper one.. at least once someone need to be a chef to do it...
A parody to entertainment sake....This is not how Michelin establishments operate! Funny to watch though!
To much westing 😅
Whiplash - kitchen version
Watch Salmon by Mattis Heurlin my man. It feels like one stole the other
Bottled sriracha? Really?
pathetic comedy of a short film
