When did chef’s become pretentious faggots?

[TheGhostOfAbeVigoda]

British Kitchen Nightmares is proof Ramsey is playing a character for American audiences

The contrast is hilarious. He's a straight up nice guy in the British one.

They also think they’re alpha tough guys because they bully and shout at their kitchen staff every day.

Who are those staff? Illegal immigrants who can’t cause a scene, ex cons who can’t cause a scene, women and gays wait staff.

Ooooooh, so tough. Fucking faggots.

If Gordon Ramsay was a rude shouty British faggot to me I’d [insert Boomia ban conclusion to this sentence]

I'm a chef. I make jack shit but I'm kinda set anyway from some other shit and having a job that's basically putting shit in the oven and taking it out again in exchange for a shitty wage is a trade off i can live with. I agree with most of the sentiments in this thread. You'd have to be insanely into food, have some other passive income shit going on or be an absolute moron to work in a kitchen. You can work your way into 100k positions with a few years of solid work but it will cost you 95% of your existence and sanity. And yes i do feel like a colossal idiot in an apron but I'm mostly alone so I just dinghy it half the time.

I've lost count of the number of places I've gone to work and I've never had to deal with anything like you'd see on TV. I'm guessing it's like any other career that some goofy cunts are into enough to turn into a reality show. The best people at it are probably going to turn into absolute worstcunts when the cameras are on them.

WWAW Chefs and Mechanics both earning shit wages doing stuff anyone could do at home but don’t have the time. My sister used to be a sous chef at a fine dining restaurant, the wait staff all made more than the kitchen, crazy shit.

It's mostly dealing with hundreds of checks in the space of a few hours and preparing things in ways that make speed easier that's the thing you can't do at home. I already knew how to cook most of what I have to make at work, any putz with a stove top can fry a steak. Try doing 20 in 12 minutes, perfectly to a variety of different textures.

I can absolutely believe the waiting staff make more when you factor in tips. Most owners are apathetic and just let them keep tips so everyone who isn't FOH won't even know. Some will split it evenly so the dishwasher makes the same as the Head Chef (this is the non faggot approach). In London some places will basically deduct your pay because the potential to make them is so high they feel jipped about it. And then there's the ones that just keep them. Right now I make shit money but I don't care bc the job's easy and 5 minutes from the house and if I don't do it I'll just sit around the house rippin the heid aff it and smoking a 1/4 oz a day.

the only benefit the owner of the last joint I worked at was 2 hours before close you could start drinking. No paid time off, no sick pay, no token insurance that wasn't worth the deduction from your check. Just a couple beers. Technically we were supposed to pay for food. Cheap motherfucker went to Turks and Caicos for a week and said to me when he got back "you should go on vacation." I told him it wasn't in my budget to take an unpaid week off and he got quiet and left. Last time he asked me to cover I told him my OT rate was $75 per hour and I couldn't work for less he hung up on me. Turns out he "worked" and it was a disaster.

For my own experience I managed a bar & grill in an AC casino years ago and the head chef was a complete douche who had been on one of the many cooking shows so he had a real ego and believed he was god. I think it might have been iron chef but I can’t remember and we were told to be in awe of him and I didn’t give a shit - once he was really being a dick and mentioned how he had been on tv and I said “oh, like Jersey Shore?” And he got all pissed and huffed off. Mind you the restaurant in question was a Casino BURGER bar - served burgers, nachos, wings, and fries. Not exactly fine dining like this asshole was acting like he was doing.

Another time the casino was launching a new concept restaurant based on another popular chef (not name brand tv popular but had a place or two in NYC) And was a huge diner type menu with all kinds of shit (like a 5 page menu) and the heads of the restaurant company were in my place one night and this chef was in all drunk with the suits and when I went to talk to the table I was being friendly with him asking how it was going and he tried to grab my dick right in front of the table of higher ups. I grabbed his neck and told him if he does that again I’m gonna break his neck and called him a fucking midget (the guy looked like the wrestler Taz but shorter and fatter) and the table sat there in shock because they couldn’t do anything either way - fire me and I’ll sue them for their major chef committing sexual assault and can’t fire him because they were all in with his concept. I left that place month or two later and that chefs big concept casino restaurant was a huge disaster and closed in less than 9 months.

The chef who grabbed me is out in Vegas at I think the bellagio. Let’s say his first name rhymes with “Dammy” and his last name starts with a “D” and ends with “eMarco”. Fuck that little midget and his shitty food.

I only ever had one bad head chef but it's the exact opposite end of the spectrum. It was the first one I worked for and he was just poor and miserable but he was unintentionally quite funny. He had a thick Scottish accent but he was Italian and hadn't seemed to have fully learned either language so he spoke like an upset Billy Connolly but with all the extra vowels and would say shit like "What a the fucka are you a doin?" and "You are a no usin a your a brain". I'd be stoned as fuck all the time and when he shouted at me I'm just in my own head repeating the words "You're a brain, you're a brain, you are a brain...am I a brain?"

Yeah not every experience I had with chefs were bad - just from working in casinos the whole “celebrity” chef thing is big while most of them are nice guys you would come across types like described as pretentious and with massive egos, especially if they’ve ever been on any kind of cooking show.

I wouldn’t want to eat food prepared by him, looks like a gross wop. The chef my sister worked for was on all sorts of tv shows but he’d still unclog the grease traps with his bare hands and be on his hands and knees scrubbing the floor along with all the employees. I have to respect that.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

Gonna have to report you for little person abuse @IGotATreeOnMyHouse85

 

[White nigger slayer]

It was Bourdain. I read Kitchen Confidential in like 2003. From that point on I wanted to be a chef. I went to culinary school, not the CIA, I couldn't afford that but I went to the welfare equivalent. The TV show chefs ruined the job. We used to get laid on the DL. Now everybody wants to use social media to attach themselves to chefs. Everything is public and nobody gets laid anymore. When Tony hung himself I was overjoyed. He had a kid with Asia Argento, She was the bitch that was raped by Harvey Weinstein and then dated him a few years after he raped her. That's the mother of Tony's child. Good riddance.
btw: The Bear is a really good show.

He never married or had a kid with Argento, you retard.

Yeah those are the good ones who don’t just stand around - that’s how you earn respect from your staff. The Sammy guy keeps bouncing around Vegas so I’m guessing his places fuck up like they did at the casino I worked. They renovated a huge part of the cation for his restaurant and it was all kinds of a mess and didn’t even last a year. Shortly after it failed the casino ended their relationship with the restaurant group that had brought in the place I was, his new concept, and a dos Caminos. He ruined them for AC which they were planning on having a big partnership.

Didn’t he kill himself over her?
