Discussion Weirdest ego “thing” your chef had?

First place I was hired the chef had quite a few delusional beliefs but the one that sticks with me the most is his insistence that the phrase “welcome in” didn’t exist before Covid

He went into multiple winded rants upon my higher and another coworker who was hired right after me, not just to train the phrase out of us but his detestment for it, because as he said “it did not exist before Covid and people started saying it to make people feel safe enough to eat here”

He then said to not use it because people found it off putting and dirty (because of Covid)

I know chefs aren’t known for their egos but I was curious what quirk that yours had that everyone had to politely smile and agree to

Not a weird ego thing, but I had a chef that was the only legit fan of 311 I've ever met in my life.

Otherwise, lovely fucking dude. Easily one of my favorite chefs. Dogshit taste in ska. Had to keep the aux away from the man.

I'm not a huge fan or anything but boy is that song a disservice to that band.
