The craziest restaurant kitchen stories (part 1)

[@96wtfomg]

Kitchen staff being high/drunk is just more of a staple than many people realize.

[@carlariggs525]

love this humor; it's both real and sarcastic. It reminds me of the days when I was a prep cook, and sometimes other jobs at this upscale seafood restaurant...never a dull moment

[@mtambors]

Crazy stories aside, I’d be willing to try any place that would go through the trouble of making their own butter.

[@bcaye]

It's really not hard, other than sourcing the milk.

[@ethanfetaya]

​@@bcaye Its not hard vs not hard, its about doing the extra step instead of going with the simple store bought option

[@alansmithee.01]

In this situation the more likely IRL situation is that the morning prep sheet says to pre-portion butter scoops from a large tub into serving cups that are held chilled until service.

[@bcaye]

​@@ethanfetaya, tip from someone who made butter every day for a year-they taste the same.

[@karolwithaz]

Since I used to work as both a busser and a waitress at some point I can verify that ALL of those were said by other coworkers

[@DianeWilliams]

"Sara Lee. She only works mornings." I'm done😂

[@christianquiroz4911]

Wait this joke flew over my head could you clarify 😭

[@AbystomaMexicanium]

I don't get that one, is it a pun?

Kevin being the real MVP making friends with the health inspector and distracting him from the real issues.

[@CostaCola]

We had a busser who was famous for years after he worked with us and for the wrong reasons. Kid picks up a filet au poivre with green beans and au gratin patios (7 months after he started with us) and asks the chef in all seriousness, "is this the beet salad?". Chef wasn't even angry, just stunned. Dishwasher wasn't having it and had the busser describe every ingredient he could see on the plate, ending it with, "X are any of those beets or a salad?" Eight years later we still refer to filets as, "beet salads" unofficially.

[@TheFurryStormtroopa]

This chefs responses are straight up awesome!

[@saxon6]

My wife was a server in a local restaurant hat was known for homemade clam chowder. She was horrified when she saw a cook putting a block of chowder concentrate in a pot and poured a gallon of milk over it.

[@scubeskitchen]

😅

[@modernNeanderthal800]

If the people come and purchase it -- good for them

[@m.theresa1385]

I saw someone get upset that the “soup of the day” he was served wasn’t what they enjoyed the day before. The concept went completely over his head.

[@Emeraldwitch30]

One of my favorite soups wasn't house made. It's the Wisconsin cheese. Lol its a frozen concentrated soup from gorden frost pack lol. Add 2 cubes andc2 gallons milk and being to slow simmer. Their chicken noodle and beef veg and tomato abd French onion were all 100% made in back but that Wisconsin cheese was a pain to do from scratch and never tasted the same from person to person so they switched to premade. Everyone raved about that soup. I still buy it every so often and maked half up at a time as it makes about 3 gallons worth. We sold out every Wednesday 😅

[@squirreldude-o7f]

⁠@@scubeskitchenwhen they said caramel as “care-a-Mel”, they said it right.

[@DysnomiaATX]

The Caesar salad one hit close to home. Once I had a customer order a chicken fried steak with a Caesar salad. The server asked how they wanted their steak cooked, and what dressing they wanted on their salad. Multiple times...

[@kkerr1953]

I know most of these skits make fun of the customers, but it sounds like some of the servers are just as bad! 🤦‍♀️

[@Splatcake]

Maybe they think the leaf is the salad type modt of my family just uses romane lettuce for everything though they know that using romame lettuce doesnt make it ceasar unless you use that dressing 😂

[@m.theresa1385]

I like a bit of blue cheese dressing on the side with my Caesar 🤷‍♀️

[@antigrace1]

Love these compilations because there's always something in them that I haven't seen before, and I never mind watching any of them again, because they're all so hilarious!❤🤣

The guy washes dishes in a restaurant - of course he is drunk - at least he turned up to work.

[@curiousexcitement5307]

Jeez this brings me back, love it

[@sheilacampbell2521]

As a cook since 1990, I can attest these are true! One boss hired a 60 something lady to prep ( breakfast joint, we closed at 2) she never made French toast mix in her life, then hired a vegan to cook, she couldn't slice the ham off the bone or make 10 oz hamburger patties or fry the bacon.🤦

[@activetutorial]

0:37 absolutely killed me

[@Bralidin]

1:35 in I honestly thought the conplaint would be the burger wasn't Blue

[@sm-yj7nu]

[@m.theresa1385]

I’ve had servers ask what I mean when I order a burger ‘black and blue’. Some restaurants say they won’t serve it that way (but they have tartare on their menu 🤷‍♀️)

I luv this channel. I'd luv to come eat at your restaurant sometime!

Worst thing I ever heard in a restaurant was when I delivered for Pizza Hut and was in the back washing dishes at close when a cook came out of the dough room and said he just pissed in the thin crust dough. Now at almost 50 I'd have told management and had the dude fired, but at age 19 I just told my family and friends not to order Pizza Hut that weekend.

[@ilexevergreen5405]

Yikes!!

[@patriciagodfrey6345]

For the record - I LOVE Sara Lee products. Wish I could find more in my area. That said - Yes, I did work in a restaurant .... making baked goods. Somehow it tastes better when I wasn't the one sweating (literally) in the morning kitchen to make it happen.

[@alansmithee.01]

Liz Lemon: "Also, don't overthink it. Sara Lee frozen? UNBELIEVABLE."

[@EdKolis]

"Go home, you're drunk" One hour later... Hey, who's that drunk driver on the news who killed an entire family? (chef wakes up from daydream) "On second thought, get back to work!"

[@enzojariel9597]

Man you always have the best videos

[@scubeskitchen]

Thanks very much 😊

[@John.satan.social]

Funny how the health inspector sounds a little like a Dr. Glaucomflecken character.

[@Ogrematic]

I was seeing this girl and I brought her to an Italian place where my friends worked. The waitress asked her what dressing she wanted on her salad. She told her the dressings available, "House Italian, creamy Italian, raspberry vinaigrette, ceaser or honey-mustard." The girl said, "ranch." I told the waitress we needed a little more time...

[@NameReveal-yy7qb]

1:15 Kevin is very funny

[@dereka5017]

Kevin’s job security is rock solid.

[@HeyImJerry]

God that pizza one brought back war flashbacks. I used to be the pizza cook in a ritzy Italian place and I got an order that was half extra cheese extra pep and half just sauce and to be sure that no cheese touched the second half because they were allergic, Kicker was they wanted grated parmesan on the sauce half

[@magnusbruce4051]

The incorrecting of caramel is top tier. You can't argue back because "they're the chef, they know more about food". I had the head chef tell me gorgonzola wasn't a blue cheese and they have never used it on the four cheese pizza. It said gorgonzola on the menu and I've literally never heard of a non-blue gorgonzola. I guess they might have used a different blue cheese (probably dolcelatte), but they shouldn't have been.

[@Veronica.A.]

If I work like this even for a day, I would be immediately fired lol.

[@margotrosendorn6371]

One time I went into the stockroom to find it full of vape haze. I see the guy sitting on a box, glassy eyed, and yell at him "You can't vape in here, you're contaminating all our ingredients!!" He slowly looks at me, takes a drag off his e-cig, and says "I'm not vaping." It's been years and I still feel my blood boiling every time I remember...

[@aggy5372]

The pronunciation of caramel is actually a regionalization in the US. There are over 4 different pronunciations.

[@m.theresa1385]

True that. Just like how people say the word ‘Aunt’ differently. One person can use different pronunciations on various versions of the word. ie: CArAmel vs. caramelization

[@mariamatt4423]

A couple of these are somewhat explainable. Not excusable or anything but still. Like at 0:50 imagine you work at a place that just uses the regular noodles and you got shit for using the special ones.

[@cactuscosyusa]

I was expecting Preston to say a Hamburger was made with Ham. Only two toppings on a Pizza ? I wont be going to your restaurant !

[@valeriaswanne]

Haven't been able to say this in years... Gddmit Kevin!! 😂😅 (I'm still salty that he took the kitchen appliances)

[@AlexanderScott66]

Can't blame the dishwasher for being drunk. Literally no one at the restaurant I work at will even come NEAR the dish pit even when they aren't busy. Imagine actually being in the dish pit for a double shift every day. Even the dishwashers don't want to do it.

2:05 it took me entirely too long to understand the cake or whatever is brand SaraLee I'm Puerto Rican so I've never heard it pronounced any other way than Saralí (and that's frankly how I assumed it was spelled) I don't think I've ever bothered to read the package, their branding is recognizable enough, and I tend to stay away from the brand with the exception of the occasional poundcake to accompany a black coffee when offered by someone else

[@AlteredBuzzard]

To be fair the person with the burger might have just wanted the patty and cheese.

So don't eat the bun 🤷

Oh shit, the health inspector... PANIC! Not unless you're a tightass like a certain grocery retail chain is that makes food prep people do the jobs of 3 other people. Federal, state and county are the levels of food health inspections in America. Store/company level health inspectors are by company. We also had a company heath inspector come through as well who was MUCH more strict than state and county. Your health and safety are worth it! However, our "leadership" made us prepare well ahead of time for company health inspection down to scrubbing cold room fan grates. Things aren't quite as nice as they seem.
