I worked as a professional chef for fifteen years starting in NYC with zero experience and learned on the job, doing everything in the kitchen and produced 2 star NY Times rated cuisine, fusion, italian, American Contemporary and everything in between. This type of cooking shown here, known as "short order" cooking, is hands down the hardest and the skill and mastery that this guy shows is amazing. I could do it but not effortlessly like this guy. Eggs can be the most challenging - there is no wiggle room - they have to be perfect every single time and fast - kudos and respect to all of the hard working kitchen guys out there who toil tirelessly to put perfection in the window!

In the late 70's, I was a student breakfast cook at CU. My job was to keep up with the serving line feeding up to five hundred students per meal. In the 4 hours while we served breakfast I would crank out hundreds of fried eggs, pancakes, or gallons of scrambled eggs. I thought I was a monster on a flat top. One of the staff cooks had another job managing a nearby diner. She asked me if I could help her out doing short order because her regular short order cook was hurt. Man, that gig just Kicked My Ass.

I'm forever appreciative of the experience, though, as it made me a really confident cook, even for complicated recipes and techniques. That said, this guy taking the yolks out of the whites WITH THE SHELL is something I've never seen. Most places don't even use eggs for whites, they buy the cartons of whites and measure it out in a 1/4 pound side salad container. That's some serious skill.

[@nikosfilipino]

As long as you're consistent with your cooking then that's what really matters. Speed only comes when you've done the same task over and over and over again that you don't even need to think about your next move and that's when your pace picks up. I was the dough boy for an Italian restaurant and I made so much bread that in a month I was able to put out 8 racks myself in 5 hours including mise en place and time for autolyse. Not tryna brag but this goes to show that as long as you are consistent, properly prepare your station, and stay organized through the shift you can build speed quick.

I've always thought short order cooks had phenomenal skill. To be flipping burgers and frying eggs or whatever, all while taking in orders being rapid-fired at you is amazing!

And he's also constantly tracking what's on the flat top and keeping his station clean simultaneously!

[@esmeraldaportillo2646]

R Fowler whats folding toast?

[@blockhead8134]

dude ive seen a video on that guy i believe. dude was a bonified bad ass

[@Romans219]

I encourage everyone to do that job. Most underpaying thankless job ever. He is not insane or even close

[@Fl0r1daMan]

I used to do this. And I was just as quick and efficient as this man. It’s tough. I’ll only go back if I have to. It takes a toll on your body after a few years. Respect.

[@lulumoon6942]

I could see that. Best I've ever witnessed was a totally tattooed, pretty obvious ex-con who wore headphones and never talked. He was AN ABSOLUTE MACHINE. You could tell, this was his way in life. He ALWAYS got a monster tip, no matter what he did with it, shared or smoked, he was a master. 🙏

To you customers out there, now I hope you see how you can totally screw up an entire kitchen when you try to change your order a couple minutes after the server puts it in.

[@chefseanj]

This man is an absolute legend. To work so fast and clean whilst doing such a thankless task as cooking eggs. If only all cooks were so professional and all diners and owners gave them the respect due for their work.

[@sunderjirahim]

Respect to these cooks that work at this speed and efficiency.

[@VegasStreetLights]

DAMN THIS CONVINCED ME TO TIP RESTAURANTS MORE OFTEN

[@xxasy6027]

Too bad cooks and chefs don't get tips bro =/

[@celestialskies3012]

They do get tips. Usually, the waiters will pool in the tips and the will be dispersed evenly through the employees.

[@FlammyMcFlammington]

Usually not

[@alextogo8367]

+Celestial Skies those are usually only small restaurants. big successful kitchens increase your salary so no tips needed.

[@xxasy6027]

Celestial Skies Nope, maybe in some restaurants where the owner is actually someone who cares about their chef's and the quality of their food (or they divy up tips communist style), but it's a well known common practice that Chef's do not get tips. I've been a chef for 8 years at 3 different places. The only time I get tips is at catering events when people give them to me, face to face, while feeling generous.

[@PorkFluff]

What is so insane about this? This is basically every diner cook ever.

[@Obamawasaninsidejob]

To the general public, this is impressive work. To me as a chef, its solid work. My point being its a good upload even if the titles embellished it a bit.

[@Obamawasaninsidejob]

You have no commercial cooking experience and have watched a bit too much master chef. cooking is a matter of doing lots of simple things right. Doesn't matter if its eggs/pancakes or scallops/fillet steaks. Clean kitchen, economy of movement, organisation and good workflow. You think this is easy because you're watching someone who knows what they are doing.

[@Obamawasaninsidejob]

Fair enough, I've been in the industry 6 years. I still think it's a good upload, It shows someone doing something simple well. Maybe I'm easily amused.

[@christopherparmer6799]

PorkFluff yeah I was gunna say this is about every cook... I've cooked on the line a few times and it's pretty much like this... maybe he's a bit fast but that's a line cook for yuh

[@theaweary]

PorkFluff I didn't find anything special in the video too, it's just primitive dishes which a kid could cook. It's a hard work, no doubt, but the video's title is confusing, not insane cooking but just simple cooking.

[@jjbird1372]

It’s like watching ballet 😍! Those are some talented staff 💗💗!!

[@kingdavid7800]

Ive worked with many mexicans in restaurants and they are always the most hardest working people.

[@freesoul3371]

I've worked with Mexicans in machine shops when I was 18/19 and they were the laziest worst employees that would mess up and ruin parts regularly and waste material in the process. They had 10X more defective parts the quality control had to reject. Most ended up getting fired and the turnover was highest for them.

Much respect to these two cooks, takes a lot of patience and skill.

[@wutanger9374]

as a former cook/chef doing short order and full blown dishes, it is great to see how even with cooking stuff considered unextraordinary by the average person, him using all the perfect technique and effort, constantly cleaning and wiping his flat top and making every motion worth it, this guy gets it

[@JuanReyes-if6ky]

Exactly !! Don't be fooled by this video. And if you ask for a better pay , your gonna end up working 12 hours a day 6 days a week. I know at least it's a job but it's actually a living brutal nightmare of extreme hard work and stress.

[@InceptionJiuJitsu]

Short order cooking like this is is easily one of the hardest jobs in the industry, everyone looks over you. I grew up with an immigrant father and uncles who owned restaurants, I was eventually trained to do exactly what these guys do. I’m 36 now, still in the business, and have only seen a handful of Americans that are capable and willing to do this job.

[@bay6671]

@yook mee I’m saying the job is fucking hard and for the pay most Americans aren’t willing to do it, but illegals are happy to do it.

[@NF12222]

Setting aside your ignorant comment, considering there are diners in virtually every city in America that make food that looks exactly like this, that seems pretty unlikely lol

I used to wake up 4:30 in the morning and come home at 7:00 at night. I used to work like this in a diner for 12 years (family business) . I dont recommend this to nobody , go do another trade , if you want to be a cook , go work in restaurants. Avoid coffee shops and diners. I would rather kill myself than to do that job again , I had no choice, it was a recession and the store was busy because it was in an industrial area. Used to have 20-30 orders at the same time and they would not stop for hours and hours and hours, used to go home tired like a piece of *****.

[@bradleyhohner8775]

Guys, if you don't have anything better to say, don't say it. I am sure you guys are very fast or at least that is what you say. It is better done than saying it. I think this is a good video, but of course it does not show everything. I believe it is a great video and it is not about some dude who shows off he is a chef and works for so and so, but does nothing.
