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.

A few choice bits......but I did work in the industry for 6 bloodey years!
Worked in posh restauraunt in even posher Edinburgh hotel. One of the waiting staff had a habit of eating stuff off plates that came back from the restaurant - minging! Chef's decided to be nice and offer him a nice freshly cooked juicy steak one night - just a shame said steak had been sitting out in the hot kitchen for 12 hours, been wiped all over the floor etc. Waiter really enjoyed it but was off sick for a couple of days after - I wonder why.
That was, though, the same restaurant where the more senior chefs poured alcohol over a commis and set him alight - for a bit of amusement. Made sure I never argued with them.
Last one - had a great water fight in the dishwash area between KP's and waiters using bottles of fizzy water. Shame there were still customers in the restaurant, eating their £25 breafasts in their £200/night hotel, and being served by very wet staff. I think they made something up about a flood.
