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.

cateringIn high school, I worked for a catering company - parties, weddings, &tc, at various halls and fraternal organizations. After setting up the dining room and the kitchen, the waitresses, busboys and coffee girls would get out of the kitchen (and the chefs' way) and go stand at attention near the door, looking like troops waiting to serve.
As we all stood near the doors at one wedding, the happy couple walks in, the bride is radiant and so on. The busboy two down from me looks er over and declares, "I bet she gets laid tonight."
Cue the whole staff line suddenly turning to him (in the middle) with a look of, "you idiot -- no kidding." Luckily, if any of the guests heard, they didn't let on. But it had to be obvious something was up.
