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.

Insane Maniac's bartending stories...Oh, that little red button behind the bar? No one had told us what it was for.
"Shall we press it?" "Yeh, go on!"
*nothing*
"Aw"
Skip forward 2 minutes and 4 cops in a meat wagon with body armour charge through the front doors asking us barmen where the trouble was. We told them it wasn't us, but you could tell they didn't believe us.
Being bartenders we'd also be designated "Machine watching", by which we'd tell staff members exactly how much had been fed into or won out of the fruit machines, but cutomers were always told "Yeh, about £20's just gone in & no-ones won". Regularly walk home with a couple Jackpots in the back pocket.
Failing that though, some of the crapper fruit machines would tell you the last win amount if you used the refill key. Which was nice.
