Kitchen fuckery If you speak Spanish, don’t tell anyone at first
One thing I’ve noticed about some of the Latino staff is if you’re white presenting or they know other people in the kitchen don’t speak Spanish, they’ll talk mountains of shit about you/them while you’re standing right there.
If they think you don’t know the language, the things that come out of their mouth are downright awful sometimes…but also super entertaining.
Just a fun little kitchen hack if you want to find out what they really think about you!

Kitchen fuckery New rule: if your asshole falls out, you can go home no questions asked.
I work with this wonderful woman, she's in her 70's, the kindest most giving person you could ever meet. Bakes all our pies and muffins, waits tables, washes our dishes, brings us treats on our birthdays. She has a lot of health problems and refuses to take time off and leave us short handed. Today she comes to me and says "I need to go home, it's falling out. " I didn't understand, asked her what was wrong and she tells me her asshole was falling out. On the way out she's apologizing and promising she'll be back tomorrow. I told her just go home and rest, when stuffs falling out you get a no shame pass to call it quits for the day. Take care of your butts (and all the other bits) chefs and cover for your co-workers when theirs fall apart.

Kitchen fuckery “We sent the morning dish guys home. We didn’t need them.”
They were sent home before 2. No one said a thing, nor was anyone holding the station down. I saw this around 3. The next guy didn’t show up until 4, sorry Jeremy.

Kitchen fuckery Things my pastry intern did this week
She's a year into her program at school, for context.
- Asked me how to zest a lemon
- Went to get ginger, came back with coriander, said she forgot what she needed so she just grabbed the coriander (it was for muffins)
- Scraped a spatula on the outside of a bowl and then held the bowl against her chest, getting chocolate mousse all over her white coat
- Asked me how to separate eggs
- Asked me 4 times what mascarpone was because she forgot the first 3 times
- Asked me why we add butter at the end of mixing brioche dough
- I told her to put something in the freezer and she said, the refrigerator or the real freezer?
- Added 210g (instead of 2100g) of water to 3000g of flour and asked if the ciabatta dough was supposed to be this dry. It looked like sand.
- Asked me how to make meringue with the recipe and instructions right in front of her
- Planned on running the entire spice grinder through the dish machine (cord and all)
- Forgot the sugar when candying nuts so just ended up with a bunch of soggy, boiled pecans
- Didn't scrape the bowl when making cheesecake (despite explicit instructions to do so), asked why it was lumpy
... Not sure if I blame her or the school honestly
