Restaurants, Kitchens and Bars... Oh my!Many years ago, I went out with a chef. Kitchens are merely vice dens with food. You couldn't move for people bonking and snorting coke in the store room. And the things they did with the food...
My personal vice was chocolate mousse - I remember it being very calming in all the chaos around me. I think they put things in it.
Tell us your stories of working in kitchens, bars and the rest of the nightmare that is the catering trade.

And we all kid ourselves......that these things only happen in the places we work or worked in. Never of course in the restaurants that we dine in ourselves...
Young lassie I was acquainted with when at college regaled a lovely story to me of the pub she was working in at the time as a waitress.
She had told me all the classics (re-creaming of cakes, food well past use by date being farmed out/reheated etc) - quite shocking to me at the time. The one that made my stomach churn/me laugh however was late one Saturday afternoon the manager received a complaint that there were ants in the coke.
Lo and behold there most definitely were. When the coke pump (hand-held thingy that also dispensed other drinks) was used, dozens of ants were being dispensed along with the refreshing beverage. Not very pleasant you might think. The part that made me laugh was that they'd had a party in the children's area earlier in the day - and guess what most of them had consumed in large quantities???
I really hope I never eat in the restaurants some of you lot work in - you shower of bastards :-)
