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.

Essex County Cricket ClubWorked as a barman here but used to sneak in to the kitchens to grab food.
The kitchen was serving the VIP guests who were paying 120£ a head for their food. The catering company relied heavily on temporary staff who because they were temps tended to have no idea how to do the job and didn't give a shit that they didn't know. The VIP's were served food that had been prepared the day before or earlier by staff with no hygiene training whih would then be eaten by staff and re-arranged so as they wouldn't notice, the cutlery also would sometimes just be wiped down rather than washed to save time at the end of the night.
Not as bad as half the stories on here but I'm bitter cause the fuckers fired me.
