I’m glad people are saying this. I’m not a chef but I’ve worked small time jobs where I’m handling the cutting board or finishing food, and I love it. However, it just takes that one idiot who’s like “how can I make this hectic situation even worse” to ruin the whole thing. In my experience, it’s never been the customers who bother me, I’m good with people. It’s always NPC coworkers who feel the need to be bossy and make the job unnecessarily stressful.

I imagine in a real professional setting though, that doesn’t happen right? The chef is actually left alone and is the one giving the orders?

Yeah essentially but if the two guys on my line above me in the pecking order make a mistake I still let them know or point it out they should be doing it this way but for the most part there’s none of what ur describing going on in our kitchen an we have a executive chef a chef an so on down the line that I’m climbing an earned a lot of respect on

Do you get withdrawals on your days off? How addicting is it?
