    Gets through the shift no stress cause he gets to go home to Starla every night

    Absolutely! It sure beats the new guy just out of CIA that shows up with his tidy little toolbox, neckerchief, the whole bit. I’m not gonna say they’re all like that, but a lot of those guys come out with no sense of pressure. Then they fold when the heats on.

    A couple years back, I worked with an older guy who, on his first day of work, came in with flame pattern chef pants, a “legalize marinara” t-shirt and ton of gold chains/rings. He was told he couldn’t wear the jewelry going forward but he was chill about it. Dude was as talented as he was laid back, I kinda miss working at the place

    You think a server is going to ask me for free food while I’m wearing these bad boys? Forget about it!

    A worker with that kind of sense of humor is welcome. He would easily be taken into the fold.

  6. That was my old Chef Dan from back in the day daily attire.

    He would change the headband up between his Harley Davidson one, Raiders and the American flag.

    Dude got fired for losing his shit and throwing a dinner plate like a Frisbee into the dining area. Nailed some lady in the back.

    If he could fight in the Octogon, he can fight through your dinner rush no problem!

    You bring this guy on and he will magically get your food cost down 10%

    You think I got where I am today dressing like Gordon Ramsay here!?

    When I was a prep cook I had a helper that who was 6ft 5in Puerto Rican who dressed like this

    He would play PR trap music at 8am

    I miss Pedro

    “You think i go home to a woman like Sterla every night cuz i dress like Peter Pan over here?”

    This was really funny when you posted the exact same thing two months ago

  14. guywholikesrum

    Hell yes. If they have on the flames or the peppers, your line is dishing up tickets to Flavortown!!

  15. In my experience you have a 50/50 shot of them being cool and sweating to the end with you, or they spend time yakking to guests and staff doing no work.

    Just my 2 cents (and flag codes) but a sovereign’s Standard should not be apparel.

    This is first time I’ve seen what was written above the mirror. Lol great movie

    They mean business as in they just moved to town on witness protection or they’re gonna call ice? Or both? God bless merica’

    There’s a French restaurant I love going to where part of the bar countertop is next to the kitchen. Both the cooks look like this.

    Watching them work is like watching a ballet. Everything is perfectly timed between the two of them. They’ll have their backs turned to each other, one will be doing sides and the other working the flattop. They won’t say a word, but the guy with the plates will turn around with two plates on hand and the other cook will be turning around with the protein to set on top.

    A food stained, flop sweat soaked, American flag is too apt a metaphor.

  20. I actually get called napoleon at work because I look like napoleon dynamite. It’s gotten to the point that nobody knows my real name at work.

  22. No joke, we had a guy show up in a skin tight neoprene American flag shirt (I assume cycling shirt) and we hired him- he’s one of our best, and definitely eccentric.
    He’s not a cyclist; he has a beer belly.

    Or, they have the absolute worst habits known to a kitchen.

    I guess it’s that time of the month again. Time for this tired-ass repost.

    Most of the dinner shift line cooks at my place look just like this. All a bunch of former chefs and sous chefs in their 40s. Smoothest motherfucking kitchen ive ever worked in
