    Fuckin John 3 and Philip man, always fucking things up for the rest of us. Hopefully they get the boot and your day isn’t completely fucked

    Where are Juans 1 and 2 and why aren’t they keeping 3 away from Phillip, a known menace?

    Fucking Phillip and John 3. Everytime.

    Better than the owner trying to fight you for talking to his gf after close because he was shit-faced.

    While my reaction would also be, “what the fuck,” I feel like I would have been equal parts surprised and not surprised at every restaurant at which I ever worked.

    I used to come in to scenes like that in the morning. Random food made and partially consumed. Kitchen a wreck. Empty liquor bottles strewn about. Coke on the pool table. Coca Cola stains on the pool table. Random guys passed out under the pool table.

    It was the owner and his buddies so it was ok. His wife, however, did not think it was ok and banned him from the restaurant. 🤣

    I feel like we’ve all been looped into this text at some point in our careers, at multiple locations and I love the “we’re taking inventory of the liquor cage now”. This is real restaurant life right here.
    Edit to add I may have been the subject of this type of text minus the broken patio door. I have definitely woken up in the dining room on Sunday morning ready for a brunch shift after a Saturday double.

    We found the guy responsible for the epstein redactions.

    This last year we were closed for two weeks for Christmas so I figured if I got my team close all they would have to do is just freeze proteins and toss the rest on the last day because I was leaving the day before we closed.

    Well tow guys on my team kicked my office door down because someone left their phone in it (they had a key) , stole crab legs, played hacky sack with a burger patty, burnt a towel on our wood fire grill, among other stuff, but the kicker was they played “bird is the word” for 10 straight hours. I had to fire them, completely ruining my vacation having to deal with calls and other bullshit. So I came home to no staff and a shit show. so I know how you feel.

    At my old place we had two Fernando’s so one was f1 and one was f2. Seeing Jon 3 brought me back a little bit lol

    This is the most canonically Kitchen Confidential shit I’ve seen in a long time.

  15. RW_McRae

    This is exactly what Johns 1 and 2 did, and we all know what happened to them

  16. ThereIs_STILL_TIME

    ahhh thought this was talkin ’bout me but then i remembered i got promoted to john 2 a week ago 😃

  17. upstatestruggler

    This is the Kitchen Confidential content I crave.

    Let’s just all be happy that the 17 year old hostess didn’t get caught up in this shit, shall we?

    They probably got inside through the broken patio door…..

    I remember when I worked at a restaurant/bar on a ski mountain. Got drunk at a party and had no place to go so me and a buddy tried to get into the kitchen to make up some.food and have a couple drinks. It all seemed so innocent at the time. Thank fuck the back door was locked that night. Probably would have been a similar story.

    The “still not sure how they got in” promises at least as much retribution as “we’re taking inventory of the liquor cage now” does.

  23. We had a photo posted in a group chat of our GM and Head Somm asleep on the floor near the front door after a big night. The incoming Duty Manager stacked cushions around them so that passing customers couldn’t see them (fronted onto a very busy footpath). How they made it from the bar to the front door but not actually out, we’ll never know.

    How are you not sure how they got in when the patio door is broken?

  25. SemajLu_The_crusader

    S-tier censoring job their

    we’ll never know that John 3 and Phillip did that

  26. Preindustrialcyborg

    i have a feeling they got in through the patio doors. emphasis on through.

  27. bene_gesserit_mitch

    And you’re down two staff members.

  28. whitechocolatemama

    If the patio door is broken, that would be my first guess as an entry point

  29. Inexpensiveggs

    “The patio door is broken and glass is everywhere”

    “Idk how they got inside”

    Uhhh I think I know how they broke in chef
