I Love Seeing Signs of Restaurants Not Opening Because They Won't Pay1mo ⋅ OpWillDlvr ⋅ r/KitchenConfidential
Only two more days left here as executive chef. Just when I was starting to feel sad about having to leave my whole crew calls in sick. Now I have to do a cookout for 80 people, an appetizer party for 60 people, and run the line by my self. Fuck this place.10mo ⋅ 1eatbabies ⋅ r/KitchenConfidential

Promoted a dishwasher to prep cook, she worked her ass off, promoted her to line cook, continued to crush it. Tomorrow I’m giving her, her first knife of her own for her hard work.4mo ⋅ redleader5ive ⋅ r/KitchenConfidential

This is Jim, and this is the GD best GM I’ve ever had. During the hard times being short handed he has no qualms of donning an apron and hitting the dish pit, help lighten our load. Forever grateful to this man! Some of us are lucky have this kind of management and cheers to those who help us out!1mo ⋅ mercenarychef ⋅ r/KitchenConfidential
I love pulling this joke. Whenever a BOH coworker comes in a date to dine. Keep bringing them plates of edible bullshit. Chef to table style. Let it pile up in front of them until they have at least 6 plates of miso mayo and peanuts. Every plate must look good but make 0 sense. Explain nothing.7mo ⋅ auston18 ⋅ r/KitchenConfidential

Lost my job as a receptionist due to covid and got a job as a dishwasher to make ends meet. Today, during rush hour, the chef guided me into making these because he was swamped. I know it's not much, but I'm proud. I've discovered a passion. He's helping me pick out a government culinary school10mo ⋅ Phoenix_girl1911 ⋅ r/KitchenConfidential

I’m a bartender and love working big parties, going back and forth between making drinks and taking rapid orders. Uphold a very nice group of 60 $1000 over minimum and then they added this tip. Possibly one of my proudest moments. I literally jumped up and down when my manager told me.1yr ⋅ halfarab ⋅ r/KitchenConfidential
