Okay now I may be the dumb one, and I don’t work in a kitchen besides cooking at home. But don’t people often use butter to cook mushrooms which would then not be vegan? Also may butter the toast beforehand? Or use cream in the mushrooms? (Although in regards to the last one Im assuming the menu would specify creamy mushroom toast)
Edit to add: I missed a big part of the video where the chef mentioned they had already been asked this before, i was more focussed on the guest not knowing rather than that the servers should know the menu. My bad
“You could’ve just said that”
You too, bud.
I had a waitress that would come back to ask me questions about anything. She knew the menu, and probably was more knowledgeable about some of the foods than I was (it was a Tuscan cafe, and she regularly visited her family in Italy).
She did it to share dumb questions with me so we could laugh (Does the lasagna have gluten!?) or just because she needed a break and agreed to go ask the “chef” (I was the lead, we didn’t have a chef really).
I never minded, even if we were pretty busy it takes seconds to answer a question and it gives the FOH people a chance to come see what’s going on and interact. I never thought of it as a bad thing, honestly.
I’ll take someone who forgets and asks over someone sending dockets through with modifications that can’t be met, but never consulting the kitchen
What’s the special chef?
It’s on the fucking board in the restaurant like it always is.
But I’m dumb as fuck and forget shit.
The server should definitely know, but when I was FOH I was frequently requested that I go ask despite reassuring them that I knew the answer. That was primarily at a steakhouse and questions were ridiculous. Maybe I looked dumb, or something. Or hesitated in some way I didn’t notice.
I have the sweetest (hardworking) coworker who might not be dumb as fuck but definitely forgets shit all the fucking time to the point it’s becoming an issue :(.
I’m trying hard not to lose MY shit at the moment every time I hear “0h, yeah, I think you told me that before… sorry I forgot/sorry I forgot to tell you xyz… can you write me a note so I remember…”.
Dude! If you KNOW you forget stuff all the time, write notes yourself, and/or check the already written MEP plan/station notes.
I’m trying to be patient and help/coach but I already have multiple (mental and written) lists of stuff **I** need to remember/check up on without adding **yours** …
Oof, sorry, /rant.
I love it in any capacity when someone will spend time bitching about how busy they are instead of solving the problem and moving on. When I was working the line on a busy night servers were lucky if they could get three words out of me before I went back to what I was doing
just to fk with them tell them that mushrooms dna is closer to humans than plants and that’s why it tastes “meaty” XD
They are high, very high.
I had a girl ask me if the raw ham was cooked. It literally says raw ham on the menu
I don’t ever get the vegan question. For me, it’s whether or not the dish is gluten free. The same servers asking about the same dishes…every time.
Or yknow put a symbol in the menu so you don’t have to trust FOH, either the customer or BOH
There’s probably a lil V on the menu next to the description. Servers, in general, are the worst. They extract so much value, for what? Most don’t earn half what they make and there’s far too little consequence for their short comings. You want the kitchen to hold your hand, I want half your tip.
Gold Coast chef, I can feel it.
The ONE time I forgave this was when someone asked me if the steak was gluten free.
The steak was, but not the soy sauce in the marinade it was sitting in.
The waitress was smart enough to remember that the steak was sitting in something, and figured she would ask about that.
I could hear the Aussie accents with the sound off.
Always the chefs rather argue for 3 minutes than give the 2 second answer XD this is way too real
Sorry guys, I need you to turn this tomato soup into a reuben sandwich. This lady at my table is a real handful.
man has a toad tattoo in his arm, he is BOH as hell!
I work as a pizza chef and for all our regular slices we grate Parmesan cheese on the crust, vegan slices obviously are exempt. Had a server ask me with a straight face which slice was vegan when picking up 4 slices, 2 had cheese all over the crust like snow and one had pepperoni on it. Took me a minute to realise he was serious
This is the internet, you can say *fuck*.
Lmao
Fucking front of the house!
