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

Burners aren't on the gas feed tube correctly. Or incredibly dirty. Or you got too much water on them, and the holes have water in them.

What about low gas pressure?

Honestly it looks like gas pressure may be too high. If it's been like this since install I bet they completely forgot to install a regulator to drop from building line pressure at 14 water collumn inches down to appliance pressure(10-LP or 4-5 Natural gas)
