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.

There it goes...I was working as a waiter in a hotel about 15 years ago. We were just down the road from the TV studios where kids Saturday morning show "Motormouth" was filmed so had the guests stay on the Friday night before.
The majority of them were as nice as anything but one guy was such a twat that he inspired me to my one & only incident of being unpleasant with the food.
Lee Mavers of The La's (one hit wonders - "There She Goes") came in with his band. He demanded garlic butter with his bread roll. I explained we didn't have any & he starts getting very irate & pointed out that the snails we were serving as a starter came in garlic butter. I told him they came frozen in the butter so I couldn't seperate the two.
He starts calling me all kinds of names & even threatened to meet me outside after work if I didn't give him this f***ing butter. So I got the chef to defrost a portion of snails & I ate the snails myself. Bring him the butter in a pot & he accuses me of deliberately melting the butter to piss him off.
So I went in the toilets before he got his main course, got a serious dollop of knob-cheese & smeared it all over his burger.
I watched him eat every mouthful.
'ave that, ya fucker!!!
