It was a part time baking gig that I was absolutely loving so I was blindsided as hell by the text today. Nothing bad to say about the company just bummed as hell this happened to me. Well, starting this text with Yo! does kind of rub me the wrong way.

My boss thinks this is appropriate, messages 10 minutes prior to my normal shift start telling me she needs me to work. She was there at closing the night before but said nothing. I was already out of town when I got this. Then she proceeds to message my family as well. Inappropriate AF especially at $9 hr, so glad I have an interview soon because I'm done having to pick up managements slack on my days off but never getting any help when I'm the one short staffed.

Is it weird for the sauce smear to be outside of the ramekin or am I being judgemental?

Oh yeah me too. And I’m the only reason they are able to ever have any time off or go out of town or are even able to keep this place running. We can see whose side they’ll take.

My just fired post is getting popular so just wanted to share some pics from my 4th (1st solo) shift, came home on could nine from being so proud and happy with what I was doing. I was really looking forward to how much better I was going to get with bread scoring and getting more into cookies and other desserts.

Thought I broke my femur because I fell so hard, I had a huge lump on the side of my thigh and I was in SO MUCH pain. Tried shaking it off after I went into the bathroom, but I couldn't walk or stand on it, texted my husband I fell and I couldn't get up. I was light headed, nauseous and almost lost consciousness numerous times and I was nodding out when being questioned. At first I was going to drive myself to the hospital but whenever I stood up I would start seeing white blotches and get really nauseous. An ambulance had to be called x.x Long story short, I have a MASSIVE hematoma under my skin on my right leg, back on oxys for pain and can't return to work until its healed :( And yes our mop bucket is downstairs, it's stupid and I'm stupid for trying to carry everything at once. But the owners have been amazing, and my chef (owner) and his son came to the hospital after it happened to make sure I was okay. And they sent me dinner for my family last night🩷

We give him lots of treats

So I've left the industry about a year ago and I've read the newest reviews about three times now in that one year and yeah, I like seeing the negativity the restaurant receives. I'm sorry for the folks that had a bad experience, though. Of course.

But I'm happy that these Stooges that are "running" the place have no clue what to do.

I'm such a bad bitch.

Looks like another double fo me

In a piece of steak we had a Greek restaurant…hoping it’s a vein or something else? It was extremely hard to pull out of the meat. Freaked my wife and I out.

Current chef provides me weekly with: -parmesan rinds -prosciutto scraps -shrimp shells -sundays leftover pancake batter -other pantry leftovers Whats yours

Edit: I'm not comparing shrimp heads to living benefits. -I also eat full meals and I refuse to work at any kitchen that doesnt allow that. -Nothing will compensate for the lack of benefits. This is a post about loving the randomest scraps.

Hi all! So I am not currently working in food service, but I do have a history of doing so. I’ve always been front of house though, never in the kitchen, so that’s why I wanted to direct my question here.

Here’s my situation. I’m moving out of my state in about half a year for school. There is this little Chinese restaurant in my home town that I have eaten at forever, and I LOVE their fried rice. It is literally the best rice I have even had anywhere. I began actually cooking for myself a little over a year ago, and since then I have tried to master fried rice, and I’ve gotten pretty decent at it I must say, but it’s not as good as theirs.

Getting rice from their place 2-3 times a week has become a staple of my diet. I am a vegetarian, so I will literally just go in and get 2 sides of their place fried rice and then go home and add in a few things like extra eggs and green onions. I’ll then make some tofu or vegan chicken alternatives to put on top. I basically live off that meal.

So all that being said, with the move coming up I’m a bit devastated that I’m going to lose that routine.

My question is this, in everyone’s experience, is there any chance I could go about asking the restaurant for their recipe or even just to watch the chef cook it?

They all know me as a regular, and they are all super kind and sweet to me, but I’m not sure if that would be crossing some line.

Just curious! Much love to you all

Idk man, I’m just tired. I’m 4 years into this, cooking at all types of different stations and levels and if I’ve learned nothing else, it’s that confidence (and a little bit of bravado) are like the most important mental tools we have, and like I’m just so broken down and burnt out and depressed that like I just can’t do it. I love cooking, I love my job (as much I may complain about it), and I love the environment but like I just don’t know what to do.

Every step of the way, I’ve been told I wasn’t ready yet, or that I wasn’t good enough, and they always told me it would come with time but like, it just hasn’t. And maybe part of it is ableism (I have a limp, it doesn’t affect my work but it’s very visible), but I’m tired of being treated like a 5 year old or just assuming that I’m gonna fuck something up or break it. I just wanna be treated like a fucking person yknow.

Idk this is a lot of words to say that I don’t know what to do. I feel trapped in an endless loop of suck, and any light at the end of the tunnel is basically screaming at me to give up on my dreams.
