Cooks Compilation, Part 1

[@onetallpheeesh]

Nicole going from a super bubbly girl to someone who wouldn't care if the store burned down is the most realistic character development of any restaurant experience I've ever seen.

[@JithinJacob333]

So true. That's what happened to me. Now, I hate humanity as a whole.

[@phoenix0153]

She sure is, hey, you want some fries?

[@DrewTalbert]

Yeah, the problem was we had no idea this would take off or become a series with repeated characters! So early on, we were naming characters for a video and later they’re character would change. Trying to be more consistent now.

[@weavile_5722]

@@weavile_5722 yeah that sounds like a her thing to do

[@DeathnoteBB]

@@DrewTalbert If it helps, it’s super common for even for major shows for characters to change, sometimes even drastically, later on. Especially if it’s pilot to show. Also as someone who wants to start making more art and stories it helps, knowing you don’t have to have everything set in stone or figured out all at once.

[@danielleking262]

Anytime they offer the ladies some fries, I just always crack up. 😂

Running joke? We served Parm fries at a place I worked. There were always leftovers in the tossing bowl. For the waitresses. Nothing creepy either. Our wait staff was cool so we kept them energized.

[@Imnoonewhoareyou]

Appreciate the acknowledgment that Nicole's changed so much :) Although you know in that first video she was just playing the game ;)

[@DrewTalbert]

We had NO idea she would become a regular character after that first video. It was just supposed to be a random TikTok! Wild.

[@Lee-yb2zr]

Nah Nicole is that one on every restaurant. New and filling the situation who to kiss and who not to. Get on the side of the one who has the most clout. After a year your the only one left of all the newbies now your family. Mind you very disfunction but still family. 40 years server here. Love this brings back good and very bad memories.

​@@1snorelax That restaurant arc in One Piece where there's only chefs in the place (also acting as servers) and no actual servers was the most accurate to life representation of what a restaurant like that would be like. They didn't even need to put it in the middle of the ocean or involve actual pirates, that was just a bonus.

[@rodri4189]

As a former line cook.................I can SO relate!!! I love this channel Drew!

[@TheBronf]

i wasnt even a cook in a kitchen yet i relate. kitchens are one of the worse environments you can work in.

[@imnotagoodperson4446]

🤣🤣🤣 I was a line cook at a restaurant that had veggie and vegan options. If a server came to the window to ask if a dish was veggie or vegan they’d always get the wrong answer from the cooks. Our KM would tell us to do so because the “servers should know the menu”. Those poor servers got bitched at so much. I started writing up short lists of what items are vegan and veggie and sticking them all over the server stations so they’d stop getting messed with. It didn’t work, no one read them.

[@ferretyluv]

This is why the menu should just have a V or VE for vegetarian or vegan. All the restaurants in my area do this. They also have a G for gluten free.

[@balorthetiny]

You fool, reading isn't their side work

[@trevorhegstrom2816]

I used to work at a BOOKSTORE, and I can confirm, no one reads anything ever.

[@user-ln2go4xp6d]

why wasn't it written on the menus?

I mean if the answers right there and they still don't take it, they kinda earned being messed with. 😂

I'm so happy the team has proper chef's coats now. I remember when they had these backward white button-down shirts back from when this compilation was accrued. All of your characters have grown and developed, Drew! They've become so realistic and individual that it's hard to remember that they are all YOU!

[@OhSkyeLanta]

“They’re artists…and maniacs.” Is the most accurate statement about chefs/line cooks that I have ever read 😂

[@SourEggz]

1:09 The way the line cooke interacted, “Pickles, what? Pickles, what?” “Give it a chance though.” 😂 So subtle and great acting.

[@ainnochaim9450]

The characters are so well cultivated, I flip from loving the Bartender to the overwhelmed and overworked Manager, to the brilliance of Nicole, ADORABLE Pickles, obviously I could go on. You have created a masterpiece. Ooh, I forgot to mention the guests. I will do on my next rant.

[@suzannac.6057]

I've worked in the same restaurant for a long time... I started out in the kitchen with prep, making the cold dishes, & then working the window. I admit I became a little hard on the servers when I got on window; in fact, one of my çome-backs is still used today - "Do you want it done, or do you want it now?" Well, when I became a server, I had to face karma. Oh, the panic you experience when you realize that you haven't even turned in table 30's order who has already been waiting 30 minutes! Becoming a server was a lesson in humility, empathy, & compassion, especially since I've now been on both sides of the window. The hard thing about being a server, you have to deal with _both_ kitchen & customers.... that's when you start learning the servers' "tricks of the trade".
