And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why I am having surgery done on my shoulder after the summer season.

Is that not asking for trouble? Why not have a couple of servers help out? Not good.

Enchiladas!

Ya lick the bottom of your plate yours was on top!

I’ve never understood why these places have these poor MFs carry the shit by hand. Are they so cheap they can’t afford a goddamn cart?

30 people clearing the way for a guy holding 30 plates. Nice camera work #31!

My original comment in this thread:
>This is so stupid.
>In the first frame of this video I can count 15 plates. So how many total, what, 25? Lets call them $15 a pop and a 20% tip, this represents about $450.
>Now, what are the odds this gets dropped? Really fucking high. Is this seriously worth the risk?
>Like, there is already two people doing this job. Split the work up, 2 people, 2 trips, is only three trays of 6 plates and one with 7. Easy. No risk. Same amount of people. Shit, in the amount of time it took to stack all this shit up onto one tray, you probably could have ran that whole table with just one person. This is so dumb.
>I’ve been a professional chef for a long time, I’ve also done GM work. When I was young, like 19 years old working in my first kitchen, I almost ate shit carrying the stock for my station up from the basement all at once. I overloaded myself and almost dropped everything. But I didn’t, good for me right!?
>Nope. My boss at the time watched this happen and said something very simple to me “No one wants you to be a super hero.”
>Its true. This is so stupid lol. Definition of harder not smarter.

This triggers me 😂 I once dropped a full tray of fajitas and nearly scorched a 4 top when I worked at Chi-Chi’s in college

So, counting him, his two helpers, and the cameraman, It took 4 people to deliver this. Instead of doing it with 4 trays, we did it with 1 where it’s quite high risk that you’re about to drop 20 plates of food. Even if the COST of said food is about $7 a plate, you’re risking $140 worth of food at cost. Nevermind that if he drops it, someone is likely getting injured or food all over themselves.
Also, all that said, this is unsanitary as fuck. As a former KM, I would have flipped my shit at this kind of thing. There would have been some talking to with the server, anyone helping, and a chef who said “Yeah, this is a good idea. Go for it!”.

Am I the only one who wouldn’t want the bottom of another plate in my food?

What about my desire to not have someone’s plate (although “clean”) nestled in my rice and beans?

Not worth the risk, even for the dramatic effect and show this is… Not worth the risk to the safety of the individual, guests’ safety, and I feel like there could be a legitimate sanitation concern.
Bro is going to destroy his shoulder, elbow, and lower back at the same time.
That show seems like it is full of too many risks to do.

Oh, brilliant—nothing screams “safety first” like balancing 20 plates on one tray like you’re auditioning for a circus act. But hey, let’s be honest: if this guy’s arm gives out, someone walks in his path, or—God forbid—a kid runs by, and the whole thing comes crashing down? That’s not a heroic effort. That’s a lawsuit waiting to happen. And no, I’m not “refinishing” those dishes—that’s the restaurant’s problem for encouraging this nonsense in the first place.
It’s videos like this that glamorize reckless behavior under the guise of work ethic. I’m sorry, but I’m not throwing out my back or tearing a muscle to impress a bunch of strangers over a tray of food. And if you think that’s admirable, congratulations—you’re the reason workers get injured trying to play superhero for tips.
Let’s stop pretending this is something to celebrate. If I saw this in person, I wouldn’t be applauding—I’d be calling it what it is: idiotic. Like one commenter said—has this person ever heard of a follow? Or does common sense just not fit the aesthetic?
Bottom line: risking your body, the safety of guests, and everyone around you for a little flair is not dedication. It’s negligence. But sure, keep applauding the circus act—until someone ends up in the ER.
yaaaaaarrrrrgggg
Are those plastic plates and a bit of my neighbor’s food on my plate, but geez, the stairs!
