I’m a chef and I’m getting fucking pissed off to the point I’m about to rip the nuts off the fucking people who the owner hires. They have not a clue about food and the safety of it. Everything is going to complete shit around here and I’m about to fucking quit. I sound like a goddamn broken record trying to tell the line cook that the food’s fucking raw or over cooked and he gets pissed at me for telling him this and yet the food that does leave me gets taken back to the kitchen because the customers are saying it’s shit. Get some experience about how to fucking cook and don’t just figure you can cook in a fucking high paced restaurant because you cook for your mother at home. To make this even worse, the owner don’t give a shit about anything because he just cares more about cash than caring how the kitchen’s run. He’s cheap with the supplies and all the food which is fresh is just a load of bullshit. I have nothing to work with and no staff to work with with any clue about the food industry. It’s fucking driving me to drink. I have not worked in a kitchen in halifax yet where I’m with anyone who has any sort of passion about food or giving a rats ass about their product. It’s all about the pay check. FUCK IT I”M FUCKING DONE!
FUCK OFF!

Yeah, these comments scare me. I wish the poster would tell us which restaurant he/she works at… or at least give some hint or clue or anagram or something! People need to know, you know.
Most kitchens in restaurants sound like this one at some point or another, naming would be pointless.
This really makes me wish I had the money to invest in a restaurant. Anyone with this much passion would run an incredible kitchen.
Ok cranky, well if its ok with you I would rather know and not eat there. And you can remain ignorant and continue to eat there.
ooo sounds like a job for gorden ramsey! someone cue the overdramatic music and snide british accent……
I’ve worked in kitchens like the one described and good food still went out. My point was, the customer never knows what goes on and 9 x’s out of 10 the food is fine. Hey, you know that pool table in the lounge? I watched a waitress get fucked on it at 6am by one of the managers. See, you never know and the less you know the better.
I also worked in kitchens and thats why I NEED to know, otherwise I can’t eat out and enjoy it (haha I enjoy it at home tho) but anyway… if a place has substandard food, incompetent chefs or cooks, or has the worst rat/mice/roach infestation city health inspectors have ever seen, I wanna know about it. I will save my money, time and health. Now if its *mostly* good, then I would consider it if someone wanted to treat me to dinner.hahaha playing pool some tart got drilled on is the LEAST of my worries. I can’t think of a billiard table where that hasn’t happened. Actually considering it now, its kind of cliche and almost expected.
