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.

Never ever piss off a chef...When I was younger up till about 19 i lived around the catering industry due to my old mans line of work and as a result helped out in kitchens from an early age and regrettably went to work in them (not now thank god, not that it is a bad job, just grossly underpaid).
I worked at a hotel in leeds about ten year back when our manager comes in an hour or so after last orders when we had finished cleaning up and were ready to go home. Twat manager orders head chef to do duck al la ronge with x y z, head tells manager not a chance and twat bag manager says in no uncertain terms food or your job...
Head proceeds to start cooking said food and then starts snorting back the biggest greenie ever and spits it in the sauce, head for sheer cheeck value takes the food out to the customers and gives it them. Comments when the plate came back empty... Compliments to the chef.
Same place again, they used to have a guy come and do pot washing duties,sat there drinking his 24 pack he'd bring in with him while working, real nice friendly fella but stunk to high fucking hell, why? Had a colostomy bag, one day is walking around kitchen and somehow the contents of his crap bag end up all over the floor, never seen people scarper so fast...
