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.

Eddie the bar monsterThis year I was working in Grand Old Wombledon, was disappointed at the severe lack of Wombles, but I digress...
I was based in the food village section as a Team Support staff, basically all the stock/cleaning, dogsbody stuff. There's also a bar there, and this bizarre creature worked behind it...
Eddie was the name, and Greek may have been the nationality, this thing was about 5ft, perhaps shorter...but he was a few feet wide as well, could not run, but shuffled along slower than your average penguin (hence : The Eddie Shuffle) and sang really old songs in a vey shrill voice while working, I remember hearing Frere Jacques at one point...¿?!
Bar staff said he scared them, but even they missed this little gem...
One of the other team supports comes running over to me and this happens...
Him: Quick! Go into the guys toilets!
Me: Why?
Him: Just have a look!
Me: What? Has someone shat on the floor or something?
Him: Just go! Before it's over!
So me and another guy who was listening go in, and just walking past the cubicles I catch out of the corner of my eye none other than Eddie, sitting trousers down on the toilet, door open and looking out of breath...
We carried on round the corner and just completely creased up with slient digusted laughter! What the bloody hell is this creature?!!!
Rest of job was fairly mediocre...
