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.

I've got a few!Load of stories when i worked as a barman in a hotel bar. Like being the only person behind teh bar for a gypsy funeral. 200 hundred people with sovereign rings and bundles of cash all wanting 'beer'. Made a good living on the tips though...
And when one of my colleagues had set up a 'pipe' in the cellar and I spend a whole shift stoned out of my head.
But my favourite was when a girl and her chavvy boyfriend came in for a drink. Back in the early nineties, there were none of these alcopops; the most sophisticated drink then was half a lagar and lime. Said girl asks for one of those which I duly serve. She takes a sip and says "'ere, i think this lagar's off" I took a sip and, sure enough, it tasted a bit funny. Andy the bar manager had a go and knew instantly that I hadn't given her lagar and lime, more the less known 'pipe cleaner and lime'. The bloke who cleaned the pipes had forgotten to drain them.
Oh how we laughed on our way to casualty...
