‼️ANNOUNCEMENT‼️ A reminder that r/kitchenconfidential is an open discussion sub. It is a place for industry workers to discuss whatever they’d like. (without being dicks about it)
If we all met at a bar after service you can bet ALL topics could come up - from long ass teaspoons to ICE.
Anyone that doesn’t like it can either suck it up or find another place to hang out.
Complain about it (eg. “wahh no politics”) and you will be shown the door…permanently. Same if you attack each other personally.
Thanks everyone! (Y’all are 99.999% lovely by the way!!)

Photo/Video Rate the breakfast cook's "pie"
For context, this cook has been employed here years and all attempts to teach her anything other than breakfast have gone in one ear and out the other. EC and I have been repeatedly blocked from terming her by admin. 🙃

Keep telling myself to "channel the lizard" in me to deal with the heat.
And why do FOH always complain about the heat. Fuck those guys.

No matter how hard the shift is, always give yourself time to have fun.
This was from a job I worked at many years ago, just a reminder for everyone to find ways to enjoy your job :)

Sometimes it’s nice to just stop with the pretentious 5 star bullshit, and make a pie with your family.
My niece has been having a hard time with family recently, so we made a chicken leek and mushroom pie. No fancy cooking, no gimmicks. Just family, food, and music. It was nice to have this reminder of the reason I became a chef. Not just a love of food, but for the love of people. And helping them make happy memories in a time when they may not be doing very well.
Happy Sunday chefs, I hope you’re all doing well.

Question First "chef" position
Ive been working in the industry since '08, with a couple breaks here and there. After finally saying fuck it and started applying for sous chef positions. After not too long I have landed a sous chef position at a local casino. Pay is good, hours are OK, it's a 24 hour shop. Ive done everything under the sun in a kitchen but this is my first true blue management position. Not sure what to expect, I will be in charge of about 30 employees, with only the Chef de Cusine above me. Any advice will be appreciated.
