I Challenged a Michelin Star Chef to a Cooking Competition

Yeah, working in a restaurant will do that to you. Like you WILL pick up SOME kind of habit, otherwise you will go crazy. Seriously. What will amount to a job well done can change from hour to hour because of the people who are eating at that moment and who you're working with.
