Question Why are the burners acting like this?

I asked my kitchen manager and he said it wasn't anything to worry about. But sometimes they take way longer and it smells like gas. Also really annoying when you're trying to saute during the rush lol. Ignore the soap also btw I was in the middle of cleaning

Maybe you have a bunch of carbon build up blocking the burner head near the pilot. However, it looks like there may be a gas leak or the pressure is super high. Looks pretty dicey to me.
