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

You need a guard between the stove and the fryers. You have fire blasting right next to oil. You should not cook another day in this kitchen without addressing this.

You could move the flat top between the stove and the fryers as well but this current set up is a serious no go.

We have a guard, it was just in dish at the moment!! But I didn't know it was a safety hazard to have the fire on without them, thank you !! I should have realized 🤦‍♂️
