While we sit back, relax and enjoy the slow-passing time at a restaurant table, slowly devouring a savory appetizer, impatiently dreaming of the meal we’re about to be served fresh straight from the kitchen, things can go wrong on the other side of the curtain. Although we’d like to think we are 100 percent sure of the restaurant’s quality, freshness, and hygiene—after all, it’s buzzing with people and you couldn’t trick them, right?—this is not always the case.

In fact, the restaurant industry and especially the very core of it—the holy kitchen—is notorious for keeping its secrets tight shut. The good and the bad ones. From reheated shrimp cocktail to restaurant staff having nicknames for regular customers, to a chef that cooks expensive meals 11 hours a day only to have dino nuggies at home.

Thanks to the subreddit “Kitchen Confidential,” there are a lot of stories to discover about the daily bread and butter of food industry professionals, so we selected the most interesting ones below. Scroll down and after you’re done, be sure to check out more kitchen confidential posts right here!

Also both. Both is good. Some people don't want to be managers. But if they are supervising others while you search for a manager, you should be paying them better wages while you search -- and, ideally, work on redefining their position to something you both agree on to keep their higher wages after you finally hire a manager.

I don't completely agree. I had a similar case, and everyone in the team was miserable because they had to take over some manager work even though they didn't want to.

That's nonsense. Our team can function without a manager for 6 months, but we'll not be getting new projects, don't have meetings with other executives, will be out of the loop for plenty of things, and basically it'll fall apart after a while. We're not sniffling idiots that can't handle our jobs without a manager, but we do need one to be effective as a team when it comes to new projects, prioritizing, etc.

    It's one thing to genuinely be lucky enough to be surrounded with great colleagues that really make you feel like some sort of family. The problem is when it gets overadvertised, this fake concept of "family", without taking into consideration that it might differ individually.

    There are many reasons why people love eating out. We like the fun of it, the change of place and atmosphere, the opportunity to see people and meet friends, to dress up and relax, forget about things back home or at work, treat ourselves, or simply save time. All are solid reasons just showing how much we all waited for the restaurants, eateries and cafes to open again after the worldwide lockdowns.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    Having said that, we can't ignore the obvious—it’s getting pretty darn expensive to eat out. Restaurant prices have increased by 5.8% since the beginning of 2021, which is the highest 12-month increase since 1982. This is because groceries got more expensive this year, with the overall cost rising by 6.4%, which is the largest 12-month jump since 2008. The numbers are mind-blowing. Just think of it—the cost of beef has risen most, with a 20.9% jump. Overall, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that consumer price inflation for goods across the board has risen by 6.8%.

    How do you know he doesn't already tho!? What employee who isn't paid a living wage is going to go this far to complete a task at work that he doesn't want to do? You're all generalizing and assuming. Not every employee pays their employees like s**t. So assuming he doesn't take care of his employees based on nothing but assumptions is kind of ridiculous.

    Honestly it could be much cleaner. If you can get it use unsweetened Kool aid packets that make 5 gallons. Used them in the military. Works like acid, fast. The entire top of the grill will be sparkling clean and you don't break your back doing it. Just don't breath the stuff because you have to use it on a hot grill.

    Well if you're eating at a burger joint or chain restaurant, it probably isn't a "chef" per se. But if you're at a top end fine dining establishment, it's probably got a chef. Even if it's a burger joint or chain establishment, if Tyler is making great food, he deserves the compliment.

    What does that mean to us? Well, eating nice and well is getting very costly. This applies to both restaurant meals and home dinners, and even breakfast plates. Especially if we’re talking about nutritious and well-balanced diets. It’s no secret that many people are convinced, probably more than ever, that eating cheap and healthy is impossible, and that healthy foods cost an arm and a leg.

    To find out how true that is, Bored Panda spoke with Charlie Middleton, a lecturer in Nursing at the University of Dundee. Charlie has a broad area of interests including health inequalities, nutrition, and the early years of life.“One example is how certain foods are marketed as so-called 'superfoods' ( i.e. avocado) and are given higher price tags, but many very nutritious foods are actually very cheap,” she told us. “Another is the way researchers have measured the cost of food... Consider two bars of chocolate, one regular and one with less fat. If we use a price-per-calorie measurement, the lower-fat chocolate bar seems more expensive because it contains fewer calories.”

    In the days of Covid I prefer using a qr-code instead of a menu that went through many hands . You never know when it was the last time they cleaned the card. You can pay directly as well (here on the Netherlands at least) so that is another plus for introverts like me.

    Oh yes, every cooking surface, deep fryer, convection oven and slicer... Sadly, taking pride in your work seems to be becoming a lost art....oops I almost forgot about the cappuccino machine! When I cleaned it once the spout was almost totally clogged with mold. (FYI if you go to get a drink from a machine and it barely trickles out... Beware)

    When I was a clerk at a company and it was my KP duty, I spent a lot of time really cleaning up the kitchen. My boss happened to enter the kitchen while I was doing it and gave me big props. I got a promotion not long after. It was a company with room to grow. I worked for the job I wanted, not for the one I had.

    I will actively fight you on this. Maybe it's true of 'charcuterie' in your country, but good quality charcuterie made by passionate and skilled artisans is a sublime food. Lunchables is beyond disgusting, it is barely edible. I bought some once as a quick lunch for my kids, thinking a bit of processed food now and again can be a treat and neither of them could eat it. They had to go hungry and the Lunchables went in the bin.

    I'd argue it's the other way around - Lunchables are the US trailer-park version of the European original, just as "mac-n-cheese" is the equivalent when compared to the original Italian Parmesan and pasta casserole...

    However, the studies comparing prices per unit weight of food from the same food group reveal interesting results. “They show how healthy options are often cheaper—for example, if we think about a source of protein; 200 g of chickpeas versus 200 g of chicken breast. Chickpeas are often priced cheaper than a chicken breast.”

    ADVERTISEMENT

    When asked what cheap and nutritious products we should all add to our grocery shopping bag, Charlie said that there are many things. “In general, plant-based products cost less than meat or fish, but tinned products can be cheap and nutritious options if these are a part of your diet. Vegetables in season are often cheaper than others. At this time of the year in the UK, root vegetables are very cheap and affordable. Dried red lentils (for example) are store cupboard ingredients that cost pence and can be kept for years. Frozen vegetables also keep for long periods and remain nutritious.”

    My ex was a Disney computer programmer. Got a frantic call the day after installing new point of sale computers. The receipts read, " Thank You for shopping at TinkerBull's Toy Shop." I thought it was hysterical, but he was accused of doing this on purpose. Not his doing, and he proved it. He fixed it, but of course, not a thank you in sight.

    Some skeptics claim that cheap and healthy meals take ages to prepare and that’s their biggest disadvantage. But Charlie argues the opposite. “Lots of cheap and healthy foods can be cooked in minutes. Tinned tomatoes make a great base for a pasta sauce and cost a lot less than processed sauce. Add seasonal vegetables and legumes to increase the nutrition. Batch cooking for the week ahead, and freezing portions also saves time,” she concluded.

    Don't blame you. I have PTSD from some of the abuses and gaslighting I have endured. I know a lot of people like to throw that term around just because they shudder at the memories. However, I actually relive those moments like they're real and I forget where I am, and I'm constantly trying to envision what I could have done better to avoid it or how I should have handled it so they wouldn't have gotten away with it. Those jerk, monster tall bullies needed to be put in their place and all those damn coworkers that yelled at me, charging at me with their gruff loud voices over their sandwiches not being made to the size they wanted because they didn't want to let me ask, they were too impatient, yelling at me to hurry up, cos I had to put their order in the pos system and ring up the total. compeltely scared they were going to get physical. and now I've got a knot in my stomach, clenching my teeth and bit myself without realizing it. I gotta move on. sorry for the rant.

    My husband assumes he knows what I am cooking or what I am doing and starts screwing around with what I got on the stove. No! Get out! I don't come in the kitchen when you are cooking and mess with your stuff. My husband and I are really really good at cooking, but we have two different styles of cooking and if both of us are in the kitchen at once it takes two seconds before we are cussing at one another. All of our biggest fights and threats of divorce have happened in our kitchen over things like salmon or a knife. We have both worked in kitchens, so it is pretty much the same thing except we don't chain smoke and there is a good deal less cocaine and weed.

I used to work in fast food as well and if he wasn't working himself, the owner came in everyday to cook us a healthy meal, and we could have a sit down in the back of the kitchen to get of our feet for half an hour and eat our dinner in peace. We made liveable wages and all of us would go the extra mile to make the business succesfull.

    It's not because customers shouldn't see staff havign a break, it's because they are understaffed and if they don't hide for a few seconds to have a bit of something, the next person in line will verbally abuse them, because they are the customer and need to be waited on NOW. The alternative is for the staff to take an actual break (which they definitely should), but that alsmo means leaving their already overworked colleagues absolutely slammed for half an hour, not something most people want to do to another human being

    I worked retail at a place where I worked the whole store alone. I couldn't sit down or, obviously, take any breaks. And definitely couldn't go get food. Oftentimes I'd have to ask someone to bring food and take bites between doing stuff, if I even got to it. Often employees aren't people, they're profit.

    This is so wrong. They have to hide because customers will berate and verbally (if not physically) assault them for being human. If I ask for help and I am told someone is on break I will apologize and find someone else or wait. And if someone is eating I assume they are on break! FFS people, they are humans and not robots!

And on the me u tomorrow night might just be the sooty, ungrateful butt and save us from customers like this. Just don't bring them a plate. They can eat when they get home.

    How much does 1 beer cost the restaurant? The last bar I worked at where I also managed part of the inventory had beer on tap, cost for the owner about 20 cents per glass (this includes gas cannisters, transport, tap system cleaning/maintenance, the works). Staff were allowed up to 5 beers per shift. How cheap is this owner to not give his staff a round themselves and instead have customers pay for it

    One of the Thai places near me rates their spice levels 1-5. We ordered a level 5 once. Waiter looked at us, said "I'm not bringing you a 5. You can have a 3." We protested in vain. He brought us a level 3. That man saved our lives that night...now we order level 2 when we go there.

    Was in a Vegas breakfast/cocktail place where they did goldfish bowl sized cocktails. We'd ordered Bloody Mary's and eggs Florentine and I'm sat there shaking the hell out of this tiny bottle of tabasco trying to get this huge bowl vaguely spicy. All I can hear is sniggering behind me, turn round to a table of Australians, specifically 3 generations of one family peeing themselves laughing at me, eventually they start cheering me on it took about 5 minutes to get it spicy, just ridiculous.

    Haha I swear at a Low Country boil this musta been the waiter and chef as I ate the hottest sauce and then dipped it in one of their other sauces too..... The waiter approached me when we were paying the check and looked around like he was bouta tell me a secret. Leaned in and told me about the Off Menu hot sauce.. He was like "we only tell people we think can handle it so we don't waste anything, but I havnt told anyone yet....... We really tell no one." I felt like a thug.

    They've never been enough. Degrees aren't proof of critical thinking skills. They don't prove character or kindness or empathy or anything like that. They don't prove that someone can actually do the job that their degree is in. Degrees show one thing and one thing only: the ability to memorize content for tests and a minimal ability to write papers. I'll take a person without a degree, but who has slowly worked their way up the ladder over someone with a degree and no work history.

    Literally happend to a friend of mine. New cook came in, coke out of his head. Started a fight, pissed in the flowerbed, got on his bike and crashed into a car parked on the road. Ended up, first in hospital and after at the police station. Came back two days later to get paid. Total food served, 2 plates of chips, 1 nachos and a plate of chicken wings that were served half frozen. I believe the wings are what caused the discussion that ended in a fight.

Upside of being sober while managing was that I'd "been there, done that," so I was not an easy one to fool and could see through your lies. Lol No longer in food service but dealing with a team member who is an alcoholic. Trying to direct her to a sober life but I cannot do it for her while also setting boundaries regarding work.

    No, not paying people properly is theft. Tax is what gives you the roads you drive to that restaurant on, the footpath you walked to it on, and if you come from a civilised country it gives you universal healthcare. These people can go f**k themselves.

    Technically a gift as defined by the IRS as a transfer of property by one individual to another while receiving nothing, or less than full value, in return in accord with 26 U.S. Code § 2512. If there is any quid pro quo than technically it is not a gift. That being said, the IRS would likely not peruse something like this unless the person were depositing major sums of untaxed cash.

    In Montana we don't have to declare tips. The gov automatically taxes us 8% based on our sales. So if a table doesn't tip, we still pay taxes on it.

    3 years ago Created by potrace 1.15, written by Peter Selinger 2001-2017

    You're only required to pay taxes on what you make. Most states will have you declare at least 8% to ensure you're paying taxes. You can keep a tip log (the feds actually would prefer you do this) in order to track your actual income. If you make less than 8% and can provide the tip log as proof, you can declare you made less money and get the money back. No one I've ever known has ever done this because most tipped employees make way more than that 8% of sales. That amount is because they assume there will be times when you get tipped 20% and others where people are jerks and give you 0%. The feds really don't care what Montana tells you to do. They expect you to pay taxes on ALL your earned income.

    Ok I've read the below comments, the way it works in most states is that you make an amount- for example $4 an hour. You are guaranteed minimum wage, you must declare some % of your total checks by state- 8 % apparently in MT , it's 10% in the NY /NJ area- whether you make it or not, so yes, those tables that stiff you - actually are taking money out of the servers wallet- someone making $4 an hour....you usually do average more than said 10% and must declare ALL tips given to you on a credit card, but in general you should declare a bit higher portion than 10% exactly because the IRS knows it isn't exact - I actually worked with someone who was audited for never declaring anything above the mandated minimum. And yes if it is an automated system we had to declare tips every night at the end of the shift before we clocked out.

    Rule of thumb whenever u are cutting a round object such as a tomato, potato, lemon, always slice a tiny bit off 1 side making it lay flat. The round object is still & u aren't at risk for cutting urself as easily! :) (19+ years experience I've cut myself but it's been under 3x's and never needed stitches or hospital visit.

    Most restaurants have a silverware bucket that lets the silverware soak and then is dumped onto a tray like in the picture and sent through a giant dishwashing machine. This dishwasher delicately separated all the pieces on the tray. Normally, that bucket is just dumped on that tray and sent through and what will be will be. That dishwasher will catch on soon.

    An adult halibut can be up to 180 kg, my local fish shop charges roughly €66 a kilo, so you could do a "todays fish special" for €10.000? (rounded down for loss of tail and such of course). EDIT: 180 kg is 396.8 pounds. €66 is $74,67. Before rounding down the total came to €11.880,00 which is $13,439.47 (also the comma and decimal always confuse me a little, we use them the other way around)

And maybe wouldn't be scratching our heads like the employees of companies reporting their biggest profit during this time and giving employees "Atta Boys" from the leather chairs in their den while sipping 100 year old brandy from a Waterford snifter.

    My old deli boss wanted me to do books like this, I just played stupid and asked her to explain to me why we were doing it and why it needed to be done. Ie 'oh, did the manufacturer print the wrong date? No? I don't understand, this is new product in the cabinet?' and didn't get asked again. I did deflect customers away from it, or encourage them to request fresh, and sometimes write it off anyway and be damned the consequences. I entered the job naive and came out a few years later as a cynic about the whole structure of work heirarchy: lie and faff around, squeeze money out at the expense of employee and customer health etc etc.

    This is a real issue & I refuse to ever take part in serving anything that even looks not good despite a dated tag. I've always been taught to try what I prepare (as a cook & chef). The fact that managers would risk food poisoning & even someone dying because of saving money is beyond incomprehensible & I'd never work for someone like that. I understand some things u may choose to eat after expiration date like cereal for instance I will eat cereal that has expired any day AT MY OWN DESCRETION! But don't serve someone else something outdated. Even if they said "it's ok with me" the risk isn't worth the penalty. They should've contacted Dept of health & the local news station & let everyone know. I have gotten food poisoning way too much & as someone w Crohns & issues w my stomach already, it infuriates me! Good poisoning can & has resulted in month long hospital admissions. Shame on them

He left a 50 cent tip every time and was always kind to us. I'll take that from a fixed-income grandpa any day over rude people who will work their server to the bone and not leave a tip at all.

    There's a thing called a plunger or Plumber's Friend. It's easy to use, even for an 84 year old great-grandmother like me. And it works. If all else fails, a quart or so of Clorox will clear any grease/hair plug still there. Don't use Drano because plumbers don't like to use their snake if Drano has been used. It is very corrosive on the metal.

    You can't break the cycle. You don't tip so the wait staff don't get money. The wait staff get upset and rant about it. That's all that happens. Not tipping doesn't hurt the employer at all, so the cycle continues. At worst the waiter quits and the employer hires a new one to exploit.

    It's an 8% tip. Because of the disparity between wage and worth, standard tips are around 20%. Short answer: $50

    You should always get great service, the expectation being that you, the customer, will tip well- 20 percent being the norm. As a server in the industry for 42 years, and still only making 2.13 hourly, I depend on tips to live.

    I remember my serving days. Once had a table of 20 come in for a birthday. Everyone wanted their meals customized, drinks and various items requested every single time I went to the table. At the end, the group was putting money together and one person offered to pay on her card and take the cash. Total was close to $500 or so. Lady who paid on her card, hands me $5 and says thank you so much your service was amazing. This was the last serving job I ever worked.

    It’s fascinating how tipping has morphed. When first implemented, it was a way for patrons to let a single wait staff member know that their hard work was appreciated. Back then, employees were paid a living wage. It wasn’t until tips were taxed in 1982 which coincided with a reduction or all out elimination of benefits and a livable wage that these issues have been in the forefront.

    And most food service workers can't afford to eat at those expensive burger places except maybe 2x a year. Often their employees couldn't afford the food they make/serve.

    I’m sorry for the person with all these allergies, but you can’t realistically expect to eat in a restaurant in that situation. Perhaps they should ask if they can bring a pack up from home and pay corkage on it.

    During a fancy dinner one of the guests at my table says to the waiter she is allergic to leek. I mention thats unusual. And she says she just doesn't like the stuff. If you don"t like leek, just ask the staff not to pur it in your dish. But don"t make up allergies.

    Especially that allium family plant allergy is one of the rarest and most severe existing - I have this and I go everywhere with my EpiPen just in case. Sadly many cooks and waiters DGAF about it and think I am joking, because "there is no leek / onion / garlic allergy" welp, there is, and it will someday kill me.

    You have to deal with being the person who calls the restaurant beforehand and lets them make preparation for you. Expecting them with coming up with something specially for you ad hoc is plain rude. They won't even be able to guarantee that their ingredients don't contaminate each other.

    In the 1970s I worked at a cafe in San Francisco where the entry level pay for dishwashers was $3.75/hour (pretty good back then) and the top pay for cooks was $5.50. The idea was that the dishwashers were as essential as the cooks with only skills to set them apart. Our waitstaff tipped out 20% to the kitchen at the end of every shift and it was split equally.

    Once ran a place where the two kitchen porters (wash up guys) who'd been miners in a past life - one in Gold the other in Coal - both had been trapped underground at different times and had had breakdowns and varying levels of mostly alcohol problems as a result and after a few years had both washed up in a West country town and got live - in jobs at the hotel. I'd been there for 2 weeks, busy Saturday night, 130 cvts in the Restaurant plus other stuff, at 9.30 these two guys disappeared to the bar - I questioned this with Chef as the Kitchen was a wreck, he said not to worry. On doing the close up at 12.30 (ish), the place was spotless, no dirty dishes, pots or pans - lovely pair of guys who went on to marry local ladies and overcome their demons.

    When I was in elementary school, one of the lunch ladies used to go through the trash with 5 gallon buckets to collect all the uneaten food. I asked her why she was doing it. She said it was to feed her pigs back home. I didn't feel so bad about tossing half eaten apples and oranges in the trash after that...cause I knew the pigs would be happy to have it.

    *You're. Anyway, so Peter himself "unprofessionaly" attended different restaurants instead of staying at home as he expected from the waitress, hit on her who was there on her day off and was butthurt and petty, when she ignored his sorry ass. Isn't it just really, really unprofessional to hit on people you have only a customer relationship with? You suck at being a human being and customer, Peter, but you are a first class hypocrite and douche.

    I worked at a mini golf course/ice cream/burger and fries place as a teenager and the fountain sodas used to be big tanks that we had to hook up. If we did it wrong, the pressurized tanks could fly across the inside of the building and if you took too long hooking it up it went flat from losing the pressure. It sucked so bad, lol. Glad they have boxes now, looks much easier!

    I think it's going to take longer than 8 hours make, cook,and cut an box 60 pies. Then whose going to clean everything up. But on the other hand at $20.00 to $30.00 an hour. If you work 10 hours a day that's not bad money. An you also get tips. If I got hired I'd give it a shot for a few weeks at least; maybe longer an bank that cash.

    You need just a big dish to soak a few minutes and BOOM, water is dirty. But never throw sharps objects in this if you want a team with their full 10 fingers.

    That could be 5 minutes after replacing the wash water. In a restaurant setting that sink is really just get food stuff off. It does go through a sanitizer afterward too

    Agreed. That is the worst…during a rush, so much flour and grease ends up on the floor around the fry station and gets tracked everywhere. We used to throw cardboard and/or toss a crap ton of salt on the floor just to get traction. Everyone’s shoes would basically have an inch of caked on dough around the soles.

As disheartening as it is to see such a nice looking knife broken like this, things could have taken a very different turn.

Don't they realize that we food-service workers have families that we wanna spend time with, too?

    I don't know where this is. But at no place that I have ever worked at-in 25 years-have we ever been allowed to sell raw food. It's a liability. And it's just not allowed. If you want to grill your own steak, buy it at the grocery. You can still get the sides to go from the restaurant if you want to.

If you hired on and only wanted to work certain days for whatever reason they're saying now you can only do that if you have another job or are a student, both of which require continual proof. If you wanted days off for hobbies, visit your mother in a nursing home, theater group, babysit for a relative... NOT anymore!

    Well yes, they are asking their staff to report their entire life's schedule so that the employees have no choice in the matter when they just want to have less hours at one job. Perhaps someone doesn't want to work on a specific day, and that is only allowed if you can prove you have another scheduled appointment on that day (free time/free will is frowned upon)

    Because you can cook a steak medium, or you can cook a steak medium well with no problem. But to cook one in between; it never comes out right for the customer. So the server will have to take it back to the kitchen at least once, or twice. An then when it's time to pay they'll try to get a discount, and leave a crappy tip. Especially if they're a dickhead.

    Pretty sure they mean demi glace. It's a really thick, meaty sauce traditionally made by boiling down veal bones for an entire day. When it cools it will set like jello. Less traditional recipes call for large amounts of chicken stock, and unflavoured gelatin instead of bones. Still gotta boil it for the better part of the day, then freeze it in cubes until you need it. Made a huge batch last summer and just used up my last tonight.

    Taking home food that won't be fit to be served the next time open is acceptable. Taking home helpings of ingredients that are perfectly usable next shift is theft.

    I've worked in more than one restaurant where the line cooks make "mistakes" so there would be leftovers for staff to take home, thus the rule.

    I used to work in a resort restaurant that shared kitchen space with the cafe next door. Management didn't really care if we took the expired pastries, old sandwiches, or leftover hot food that would otherwise be thrown out. That's the only thing I miss about that job!

    Yes, unless the food is actually untouched portions which were already cooked and will end up in the garbage. Especially with big events and pre-ordered menus, there are always cold cuts, steaks and tons of salad remaining (when guests don't show up). If they don't request it to be packed away for home, why shouldn't the staff take the perfectly good food home to their families?

    I worked in a bar with 3 to 12 other people (depending on the shifts) and we had to tally coffee, cola and every other drink that wasn't tap water that went to staff and not sold to customers. AFAIK it had something to do with how taxes were filed and made a difference in business revenue. Don't know the details, I know nothing about business taxes, but this doesn't seem too weird. Edit: it had nothing to do with how many drinks we could have, some people went through 4 bottles of coke in a single shift, was no problem at all

    No, you're in a restaurant to experience whatever they have to offer. When you're at home, you do you of course, but there it's up to the chef. It will actually open up options (understanding it's not always about you and other people's experiences are interesting and valid too).

    I'm guessing the customer isn't going to like it that way. In the customers mind their probably thinking it's going to be thinly sliced, and then placed over the prime rib so the cheese could melt over it when it's put in a broiler. But then again he may want just like that lol 🤣

    People open restaurants to offer the public their creations; their art. Not to feed the masses whatever they want. If chefs weren’t about creating their menu and serving their dishes, might as well just sling slop at a soup kitchen. And if what you want isn’t on the menu, take your business to where it is or go to the market.
