I was a pastry chef for almost 5 years. I started out at 23 washing dishes then worked my way up to being a kitchen porter then to a commis pastry chef after he quit I was thrown into the deep end. I sadly lost my job due to COVID closing the place I worked at down for good and now in a new career. This video brings back a lot of memories and shows how everyone works as a team to get things done. My old head chef used to say "nothing and nobody is above the food, every plate that goes out that puts a smile on a customers face its all ours, the plate is here because of the dishwashers, the ingredients here because of the kitchen porters, the food because of the chefs, the menu because of me and people get to enjoy it and have a good experience because of the waiters".

[@RealPyro88]

never forget us dishwasher indeed! i stop working you stop working!!

[@madsulrik5rs]

@@RealPyro88very true. I was briefly in a kitchen at one point and found that dishwashing isnt just dishwashing. Its a huge workload and you can be good or bad at it. When the main dishwasher was there everything was always clean and the items were left exactly where they needed to be so we didnt have to waste time running around looking for it, which was sometimes the case when the more inexperienced guys had been there.

[@ashtondowney7003]

I was instructed to be head chef today (because I am in training) and it looks easy but it’s really not. It was the first time that I felt useless in a kitchen. Definitely inspired by this and I hope I can reach this level someday.

[@freddiekay]

Good luck. My colleague said something the other day that resonated with me. "Cooks critique and berate you. Head Chefs build you up and make you better." We were talking about a cook in our place that has been there for a long time without being promoted to Sous or Head. Great chef, catches people making mistakes all day, but is sulky about it and doesn't care to explain how to do it better next time. Both of these types give you negative feedback when you do something wrong but only one of them explains in detail what went wrong, how to fix it, and the next time you make the dish, they make it with you. Our Head Chef is strict, gives clear feedback, but is fair and just wants you to become a better cook. For you, for our guests, for your career in the future. I hope and believe you have the stuff it takes to run a kitchen brigade.

[@colin1656]

That is their tradition. As they very pompously like to say: "The cream rises to the top".

[@andrewcarter2411]

I kinda saw it as a jump into the deep end. You start at the bottom and have to earn your respect. In many ways a dishwasher is the worst job. But once you prove you can handle it and move up the ladder you get more respect. Like many have said on this issue its a hierarchy, if you cant handle the bottom you cant handle the rest. That being said all roles are equally important

[@OfficialExilica]

This is the sign of a great leader. Refilling a sauce or washing a dish quick to help someone else when you have a free moment. Asking for things instead of demanding things yields the same results but improves morale. "Would you mind grabbing that for me?" "Could you do me a favor and do this?" It makes you feel like you're actually part of the team and your management cares about you.

thats work bro, stop acting like he's mistreating everyone

[@illaoibo3823]

​@@dagzeugenio8951mistreating? 😂

[@bagellord9337]

Yes, mistreating: Treating (a person or animal) badly, cruelly, or unfairly. This is a word that exists in the English language and I implore you to expand your vocabulary.

[@pilot2326]

Thank you chef and your team for letting us into your kitchen. This was soo cool. I would never be able to work at this speed.

i was wondering when he would wash his hands 😂

[@CrazyDiamond419]

It’s not like he’s touching the floor or filthy stuff lol

[@sliding_by8607]

I’m so used to Kitchen Nightmares that seeing a kitchen function well felt unreal

[@dirtyketchup]

As always, those Fallow burger buns look divine. I NEED a recipe!

[@Glee73]

those burgers are straight-up simple burgers with no frills. the secret is actually in the 7 year old ex-dairy cow meat, impossible to source meat like that where I live.

Props to restaurant workers man, back of the house and front of the house. You really gotta be on your game every day in these kitchens. I hope pay is at least good these days..stay blessed yall

I'd be curious to know more about that deep fried cauliflower and what it tastes like

[@TasteTheMusicPod]

That mayo pour at the end was just the chefs kiss for the whole video. Loved it.

Head chef just seems like quality control and training everyone on what to do, lol.

I currently work in fine dining with a very passionate exec chef and I just feel like this perspective is very good at shedding light as to what goes on behind the expo line, but I feel like most people will miss a lot of the little things like the small criticisms and other remarks that often get said from the BoH to the FoH. I also like how you can see him crossing out his tickets and keeping them there because he’s coursing out the meals for his guests instead of sending all the food at once (lovely). And understanding some of the jargon definitely helps. I like this video ❤

[@Andy-ol8rf]

nah man touched a million surfaces then touches a burger at 3:25 for no reason

[@j.knight9335]

He touched the plate you Sally.

[@Kurimi13]

@@j.knight9335 Probably left an oily fingerprint on the plate.

[@XMysticHerox]

If they follow regs which they probably do considering it's a high end place every surface there is very clean.

[@jjjjjj1135]

[@joeyclemenza7339]

I love that this guy helps his crewe with their station upkeep. changing out their containers, switching out their sani-buckets, etc. if that was my chef, he would've burned me for letting all of my mise en place get burnt, dried out or goopy.

[@cosmostumpf4135]

If you want to be at the top, you gotta be able to do all of the stations. My guess is he had 5 minutes gap in his plating so he filled a few gaps and spent a little time with the team- excellent people skills and helping all the sections below him run smoothly ultimately helps him aswell. He also addressed probably every single one of the kitchen by name and asked them for small tasks or corrected them in small ways. This builds respect and rapport within the team and is part of the reason why he is head chef
