IRL Sign that I've been watching too much HK.
Woke up in a panic because I forgot to put peas in the carbonara.
I don't even work in the food service industry.

One time I was REALLY sick in the middle of my binge and I hallucinated while cooking that i was in HK and started crying because i convinced myself the pasta I was making was lobster risotto and I couldn't give it to the judges like that. It took me a solid few minutes to come back to reality and had to take a break from the show 💀

I've had dreams where I'm on Chopped or Cutthroat Kitchen and got soap in my quesadillas because I kept washing my hands, as appropriate in food preparation. I've never worked in a kitchen. I've never made quesadillas. I also ran out of time and didn't get to do anything other than sear a duck breast (iykyk)

Anytime I taste something now I critique it to hell!! 😂
The other day I went to this “upscale” Italian restaurant near us and when I tasted the pasta I said with such seriousness “noodles are bland, sauce has no flavor and the fucking chicken is burnt to shit on one side”

When I’m making a big dinner for the wife and I and things are done sooner than other things. I’ll mutter to my myself “your timings are way off, wakey wakey big boy!”

When I taste the rice and it's still crunchy I go 'ah fuck off" and kick the bin

I once woke up in a daze, and someone called me and I asked them if they had gotten their black jacket.
